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

[Fake]

Not much of a changeTH1 10.5,DU 9.6,LM 9.3,PG 5.1,JR 4.5,TI40 4.1,Linc 2.4, Minc 2.3,GT 2.2,ROTG, 1.8,Sky 1.5,SLP 1.3,lop 1.2

Practically official numbers.

150 is still likely for Les Mis (it'll be in high 60s by the end of the weekend, and will have easily passed $100m by next Sunday), but getting to Chicago numbers definitely seems a stretch now.The goal for Django, I think, should be TKS' $138.8m which is the biggest total for a Weinstein movie. $150m might be in play if it's nominated for BP. It should pass Basterds pretty easily, although likely not worldwide. I'd be happy with $100m OS here, anything more would be an icing on the cake.

DU missing a nomination would be shocking. There are 10 spots and it sure as hell has better reviews and precursor showing than Marigold Hotel for example. But I think that DU buzz is now indipendent of awards. It`s a bone fide great movie with the most likable character and most dispeakable villain of 2012 so people are interested.

The range of BP nominees can be 5 or 10. If there were 8-10 nominees, then Django could make the cut. If there are 5-7, then it'll be harder. It's not a huge Oscar player.

Also, Django would need to do well at the DGA Awards and SAG Awards, as they predict BP nominees. (and winners) 90% and 60% of the time (respectively).

Thinks are looking fairly bright for DU right now, but I wouldn't be shocked if it got snubbed. I think it's only in a slightly better position than Dragon Tattoo was, which, I guess, got held back by being a remake released so soon after the original, not becoming a BO sensation and immediately following the high that everyone had after TSN. Django doesn't have those setbacks, but it's more controversial and this is a stronger year.What I really don't know right now is whether it's getting a Director nom. Tarantino is a DGA member now apparently, and he got a standing ovation after the DGA screening of DU. He could really put up a fight with Hooper for that 5th slot (I think Spielberg, Bigelow, Affleck and Lee are pretty much locked). Unless PTA pulls a Malick over not one, but both of them.

DU >>>>>>>>>>>>> GWTDT. Nobody`s likable in DT while King Schultz is defacto the most likable character of 2012.

Christopher Plummer was.

Some shitty increases. If Hobbit doesn't manage better today it will only do like $30m, $4m less than i anticipated. That's a lot. It also affects its run going forward, coz dropping 50% from 34m as opposed to 30m is $2m more. Those millions could be important for reaching $300m.EDIT:On 2nd thought, it'll probably still manage $32m, maybe $33m, if it goes up like 15% today. Not guaranteed but possible. Still, would have liked $36m more.

I'm going to see Django again tonight. If Samuel L Jackson isn't nominated for an Oscar, I will be unhappy.

[Jake Gittes]

Christopher Plummer was.

So was Mara. I wasn't a big fan of the overall film, but she made the final 20 minutes some of the most affecting time I had in a movie theater last year.

Les Miz has already earned more than it deserved to, what a pile of shit that movie was.

I didn't mean to like this, matter of fact, you just stated the obvious...

[CJohn]

Django!

[John Marston]

Crappy Friday numbers! Hopefully this is a fluke and there will be stronger than expected Saturday increases

[FilmBuff]

The Girl with a Dragon Tatoo angered me especially the rape scene. The person I liked in the movie was Christopher Plummer. Definitely an overrated and flawed movie.

[fishstick]

I can`t believe people who compare Waltz in DU with Plummer and freakin Maramania. Hello, Schultz is the most likable character you`ll see in movies in years. Plummer and especially emo bitch were nothing compared to that.

[Jack Nevada]

Got rid of the christmas profile pic and signature. Phew.

[baumer]

When i first heard Les Miz wss coming out i didnt think it would do 100. Just because some of u said 170 doesnt mean its doing poorly because it wont get there.

[Michael Gary Scott]

So this is 40 will have pretty much the same gross it had last weekend 60M here we come
