Poseidon Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Are you serious? Has a 70 million dollar opening day really become that blase now that it becomes "concerning"? You noticed the use of quotation marks?It would be concerning in the context of not following the previous films success, as the movie is expected to be even more frontloaded and it could be a sign, that the, in my eyes, horrible storyline of the last book may have an impact.

If people hated the book so much they wouldn't show up to 30 mill in midnights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yes, it is still quite shocking why everyone was expecting HF2 to open in mid 30. There was no reason for that to happen. The first one did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 My guess is that it lands somewhere between at around $135M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 If the opening weekend is below $140m, then there will be a 0.0000% chance of it breaking $300m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WOM can be just like Eclipse. You have Thanksgiving coming up and the holidays. I don't think it will hit 300 either but there is a chance that it does no matter what it opens to.

Poseidon Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Why would this be more frontloaded than the other two films? If people hated the book so much they wouldn't show up to 30 mill in midnights.Because series tend to become more frontloaded with every movie and if the number of 70Mio became true, that would mean more frontloadedness for me: Bigger midnights and much less than New Moon did during the rest of Friday.The midnight crowd probably consists of 95% of fans and/or book readers/admirers, so they would come anyway. The smaller friday number would be much more telling, as that may be a sign for less interest with general audiences.But it's early. It may very well become an 75Mio opening day within the next 3 hours... Edited November 19, 2011 by Poseidon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Is it possible for SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS to beat BD l?OW? No way. DOM total. In my opinion, no. But a lot of people are predicting 300M for SH2 (I think BD1 will end with 285M DOM total). That should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thanksgiving will hardly help Breaking Dawn, if New Moon and DH1 were any indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I am not surprised that Happy Feet 2 is underperforming. Has anyone seen that main trailer they released? It was terrible! The one with the singing, rapping penguins. I mean, who is going to see that movie after that awful trailer. I mean when it came in from DH2 it just felt so awkward watching it with everyone else. At least in the trailers for the Chipmunk movies (which I haven't seen), there are a couple parts that make me chuckle a bit so I can understand that success.

So your theory isn't exactly apodictic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 IMO, no. I think the 2nd will drop significantly because the first really wasn't that good. 70% RT 81% Flixster B+ Yahoo 2,790,881 DVD units sold $44,873,067 Consumer spending Don't you think these aren't enough? I really enjoyed the first. Well I guess, to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
