Jack Sparrow Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think it was expected for Django to increase big still the increase just too big which is a pleasant surprise :)Hobbit is really doing great now. If it can hold well this weekend then $310m-$315m has a slight chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Great increase for Hobbit. If it follows the average trend of NT2/IaL/FOTR it's in for a sub-40% drop this coming weekend easily, potentially sub-35%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOTR is much better movie so I don`t want TH to pass unadjusted FOTR. I really don`t get repeat business for TH. It`s an OK movie but there`s nothing in it to watch over and over again. I asked fanboys to enlighten me what make them watch over and over and still haven`t gotten a well-explained answer that is void of generic "because it`s awesome". I`d really like to know cause this baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I asked him what he loved about it and if he even liked the first 45 minutes, he said, "Yea, the beginning was tedious and the eating and singing was bad and it really bored me, but once they got out of the Shire, it was fucking awesome. Non stop action and that's what I liked."So there you go. I guess the loonies are easy to please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the movie with different age groups and even kids were left cold. Only Gollum and Bilbo exchange got some chuckles. But the slapstick parts, Radagast and mashrooms line fell flat with a thud. So that leaves non-stop action that wasn`t exciting because it was obvious nobody wa sin any danger and Gandalf Ex Machina was oversued so many times you knew he`d do it again. So predictability ahoy. Now what baffles me is that LOTR is supposedly loved and held in high regard for its character moments. This thing barely had any. So I`m really confused.

4815162342 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The Hobbit isn't going to lose that many theaters this weekend. Only Texas Chainsaw opens and we don't know how wide Impossible and Promised Land will go, but I suspect not that wide. I am Legend gained 12 theaters in this weekend, NT2 lost 70 (and in that 2007 weekend like this 2013 one there was a horror opener and two wide expansions). Considering how well Hobbit is doing in raw box office receipts it's far more likely theaters will continue to shed Skyfall, Guardians, Pi, BD2, etc instead.NT2/IaL/FOTR all dropped 40-43% January 4-6 weekend and based on an average of their dailies you get this for Hobbit:Wednesday 4.385 (-53.6%)Thursday- 3.639 (-17%)Friday- 6.554 (+80.1%)Saturday- 9.156 (+39.7%)Sunday- 5.219 (-43%)Weekend- 20.929 (-34.52%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well, I don't get it either, but at least that is the explanation I got and it seems to echo a lot of what you read on imdb. There are obviously a lot of people who really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are obviously a lot of people who really like it.Their precious Armitage (Thorin) won`t break out. And that punk is a poster for easy-to-please cuase he`s the lamest of the brooding warrior cliches and yet fanboys really dig the character although he isn`t even among better within the franchise (Boromir and Aragorn kick his ass). His perforemnce wa snothing to write home about and he looks like Gerard Butler on a diet. generic crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOTR increased 28% on its NYD. I am Legend increased 39.7% on that Tuesday (pretty much the exact same increase as Hobbit) and then it dropped a shade over 50% on Wednesday.

FOTR dailies put it at a 33.37% drop, NT2 dailies at a 38.32% drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of a pretty decent action. Edited January 2, 2013 by fishnets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
