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

i am a little surprise that Rise of the Guardians tanked so bad this weekend...I assume the film would be doing a litttle better on the fact that its not a real Christmas movie

That's a nice number for Django, though I was hoping it would hit 10 million. WOM is really kicking in. Les Mis needs a big boost Saturday, but even with that number, it's still going to be one of the biggest musicals of all time.

Any reason why Friday increases would be low?

Winter storm on the northeast coast could be a factor, but in general I think its just a matter of things balancing out. Hobbit is up Fri-to-Fri, even Legend and Narnia decreased at the same/similar points.

What are you talking about? Rth said it did 1.8M on Friday.

ROTG is estimated at $1.8m (not official but I believe it will be close) which means it will have a bigger Friday compared to last weekend and there is a slight chance it increases this weekend. Not sure how you can call it "tanking" for the weekend.

[JarJarBinks]

One of the reasons Friday increases were low in general is that a good number of people had/took Thursday off, especially kids still on winter break.

ROTG is a huge box office failure for DW even if it held up good this weekend

Sure but i still expected +15%, at least for movies that aren't kids movies.

What is up with The Weinstein's fucking up their releases this year?

And you came to know that only this weekend after a month of its play?

I knew that the movie would disappoint even before the release

[ravon80]

Haha, I remember "firedeep" saying RotG was locked for 200m because Hotel Transylvania opened strong. Haha, such a fail.

[Deep Wang]

Fandango is really awesome. I just got my tickets for 7:20 showing of Django.

I swear I thought this was an ad at first.

[Jake Gittes]

That... didn't quite work.

[Plain Old Tele]

Bless you.

Bad for Les Mis and Hobbit
