ecstasy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't believe the audience is divided. I think it is experiencing very good WOM Well yeah it's divided but not evenly divided. I'd say it's divided with an 80/20 split. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't know about that. I've seen and posted early reactions from those who have seen it. It's really not terrible but definitely it's not very enthusiastic. It seems nudged somewhere in between IM2 and IM1 so far. That could change over the weekend though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Buzz is always high for book adaptaions but they always get overhyped... Meaning thinking 50+ million is nuts and more around 40 million and you better hope reviews are good or else most people will not watch it theaters. Keep telling yourself that, man. The Great Gatsby isn't The Host. It's one of the most famous and beloved books in American history, with a massive star, and it's tracking very, very well. I see what Les Mis would have done with a three day opening plus 15%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think high school or college kids go to a movie based on reviews. If they really want to see the adaptation or if they are Leo fans(He will pull in women for sure), I think it will open huge even with average reviews. I doubt a Baz film can have extraordinary reviews. Even 70-75% number is great. I think Gatsby could double Dark Shadows though IM3 could have some impact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 If Hunger Games can expand the popularity(through the books) 3rd movie could challenge Avengers 2 for OW. I am sure hunger games will have much bigger previews considering more hardcore fan base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it opening to 50m or more. Young women are really into this. Plus it has a modern soundtrack. I think it will be a blast. Leo in 3D is always good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 You may think its a joke but 1st one had a shocking ow. The audience base who read books is growing. So if CF is accepted well and they can build a buzz around the 3rd one(plus make it 3D), I think OW record is not out of picture. I am not predicting it to do so at this point. But I will not rule it out either. So its ridiculous to think its a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 So what to expect for Avengers 2 then ? 250m OW, higher ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well yeah it's divided but not evenly divided. I'd say it's divided with an 80/20 split. I agree that the vast majority of the audience enjoyed it, but that's the thing.....yes, they have positive reactions, but they don't have raves. TA had "OMG, you have to see this movie, it's the best thing ever" type buzz, which obviously boosted opening weekend IM and legs. IM3 buzz is more like "Yea, it's good." Not exactly gonna make people rush out this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Catching Fire will need roughly 190M to also take the OW attendance record, assuming it gets ~20M from IMAX. Edited May 3, 2013 by spizzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although considering the help of a finale factor, it seems the 4th movie would be the more likely one to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Twilight did not show any growth between part 1 and 2 of finale. So if part 1 is 3d and CF is well received it can beat Avengers OW. I believe only HG movies have a chance to break midnight record of Potter but it wont ever be truly broken with this 9PM releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
