Weekend numbers thread (close between TH and DU 31.5-31 so far)

Monday and Tuesday are holidays too soo Hobbit can be close to 245 by Wednesday

Exactly, and saying it can make another $100m after that is considered "impossible"? I don't think so. No lock by any means, but far far from impossible. Edited December 30, 2012 by HobbitMan89

Wow, $15m more due to Oscars, what a huge help!

And it was $15M because...? You say so?Run along now.

Lincoln is amazing....it will blow by $150m. Another win for Spielberg.http://boxofficemojo...&id=lincoln.htm

It had great legs before the nominations were even out. Yes, Oscars helped but i doubt more than $15m came due to them.

Hobbit isn't nearly as well liked as the originals. It will slow down considerably after holidays.

Exactly, Leo has mastered "the obsessed man" routine. Fincher's characters always deal with some kind of unhealthy mental obsession. Perfect match in my book.

Except Nemo's a much older man. Not to mention Continental (I don't buy Leo as European). Let Leo be Land and give Nemo to Neeson or somebody.

I don't see a big Holiday bump tomorrow. Everyone's gonna be off to parties and what not.

It's impossible.

Not impossible but REALLY optimistic.

Even Taken 2 is showing some good late legs. I don't think Hobbit will completely die like some seem to think

What? No, not even close. It's going to have a big fall tomorrow, on New Year's Eve. Then, yes, a big boost on New Year's, but not enough to gross another $23m in two days.

Thank you, mr. obvious.

[fishstick]

Yeah, NYE`s a pretty dead day except for basement dwellers who have no party to go but watch TH dressed as dwarves.

[baumer]

Hobbit will drop 35-40% tomorrow and go up 30-35% on Tues. So it will be at about 235 by NYD.

[baumer]

Thank you, mr. obvious.

Anytime. If you need help with the box office in the future, let me know.

[filmnerdjamie]

If you wanna avoid Holiday crowds, go tomorrow.

Right you are my friend, mister "the world will end before THG ever touches 400".

What are you doing predicting numbers here anyway? I thought you had announced that you will stop predicting numbers if WIR didn't get 4x multiplier.BTW it is really funny that I owned you on THG 2nd weekend, TASM and TH1 total gross, but all you can seem to remember is THG late legs.

But why does Nemo have to be an old grandpa in every adaptation? It would be refreshing to see a slightly younger version of the character. And anyways Leo is hardly a spring chicken himself, and he looks plenty old in the Django trailers to me. As dash said, Leo could capture the essence of the character perfectly (obsessed and devoted) which is the most important thing.

B`s pwning Elessar. :wub: :wub:

Eh, I just don't think it's particularly good casting. And I don't need my characters youngerized (20-odd years isn't "slightly younger").

IMPOSSIBLE.
