Noctis Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 But the WOM from fanbase is tremendous and I think it will be in the 295M-305M range.If WOM was tremendous for BD1, then it was even more for Eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) If WOM was tremendous for BD1, then it was even more for Eclipse. I don't know my girlfriend who loves the series said this was her favorite movie. Me personally it was okay nothing special but I am not a fan of the series.

Taylor Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I don't know my girlfriend who loves the series said this was her favorite movie. Me personally it was okay nothing special but I am not a fan of the series.I'm hearing the same thing from plenty of people. This is (as far as I can tell) the best received film from the fans thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 DH1 was also the best received film from the fans, and it still dropped. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 You could be right but there is a possibility of decent legs.Of course there's a possibility, but anything below $140m, I can't see it finishing with $300m. New Moon had the advantage (however slight) of more mainstream awareness than BD1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I know this is the US numbers thread, but this just popped through on twitter: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt 1 actually did £6.3m in UK yesterday, not £6.2m as I previously reported. So, slightly more amazing.Aka, the biggest single day in British box office history once the Deathly Hallows are removed. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

Taylor Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 DH1 was also the best received film from the fans, and it still dropped. Just saying.Yeah, but only by 6 million. I'm not saying this isn't going to drop (I could feasibly see it winding up anywhere from 285-305 million total), but the drastic drops some people are predicting aren't going to happen.

Noctis Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 So 6.3m x 1.58 = $9.95m ODSpectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bed005 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'm a little surprised by how much PiB dropped, considering how poorly HF2 opened. It's looking like about a 50% drop right now. I really would have thought it would be more in the 35-40% range. I mean the two films are on track to combine for 35 mil, people were expecting HF 2 to open to nearly 40 mil on its own.

Actually, as Noctis has said in the UK this beat DH I. Which could mean there is an outside shot of an O/W record here next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumos Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Why does everyone think BD2 is going to have a finale effect? The last movie in a series only does better than the previous installments if the story is leading up to something. With Potter it was whether Harry would live or die, with Star Wars it was how Skywalker became Darth Vader. Twilight isn't really leading up to a pinnacle moment, hence why I don't see much of an increase. And with Star and Potter we had a new film come out every 2 - 3 years, Twilight had 4 films released in 3yrs. For these reasons, I feel like it will do the same as all the previous films. Your either a Twilight fan or your not....Potter was an 8 film franchise, so obviously it was going to lose some fans along the way...but many of them came back for the final installment. And the final potter wasn't even a top 3 ticket seller in the franchise....which is why i find it difficult to believe that BD2 will sell more tickets than NM.

Noctis Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yeah, but there is no doubt that DH2 would have easily been the second highest ticket seller of the franchise had it opened a few years previously. I mean, DH2 is one million tickets away from being the second highest selling ticket seller of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Dh2 is not the second highest ticket seller of the HP films? What the hell is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I don't know about the States, but in the UK BD is getting a very poor WoM. I'd be surprised if it does a 2x multiplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno what bad WoM you're on about, i've only heard one person out of about 10 say it was disappointing. I really enjoyed it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
