IAL made $1.0M this weekend and another $3M after that. Hobbit made $1.9M this weekend.

Chart updated (7 posts up).

$300m looks good. It's finally really pulling ahead, with a Saturday almost twice as big as IAL's.

Well, it looks like $300M is finally a lock after all. :sweat:

So, Hobbit started off as a huge disappointment overseas and a medium disappointment domestic. In the end, it will have been a small disappointment overseas and a mild-to-moderate disappointment domestic. I hope the sequels do better, though that is far from certain.


Yes I hope the sequels at least follow the original trilogy and increase. Decent chance once more people have discovered the film and enjoy it. Plus 48fps wont be the same issue it was as its no longer new and hopefully critics wont be fixated on it.

Still needs a multiplier of 3. It was lucky since there aren't many PG-13 movies around. The final boost will be the VD and President Day weekend. It should finally stop covering that multiplier cause the late legs legs have been poor given the competition.

Regardless it will reach $300m now with or without studio push. WB has done good keeping this movie in so many theaters for this long.

Look at that sexy Monday week-to-week hold! If only it would keep its screens, could have topped Skyfall. But it's probably gonna lose a lot this Friday, with 4 new movies opening.

Even if it kept more screen (assuming it would still lose SOME), it probably wouldn't have topped Skyfall. Skyfall, afterall, is also still doing well.

I'm still hoping for New Line to surprise everyone and unexpectedly pull The Hobbit from all theatres this Thursday. ;)

TH's main problem has been those Friday increases, they are not even close to what predecessors got and Saturday increases are not benefiting much from it being children friendly.

I think that's it for me, as far as updating the chart goes.

Woah, woah, woah!

The naysayin's not done yet...

Let's remember that The Hobbit didn't come out of the blue - - it was pitched as a prequel to a trilogy that was very successful at the BO. The original three films made $315m, $342m, and $377m respectively. With the brand familiarity, 11 years worth of inflation (40%), and a 3D premium (15%) - - The Hobbit should have been looking at an absolute minimum domestic BO of $450m.

$300m was pretty much the worst case scenario for The Hobbit.

Well thats why it's called worst case scenario, you can't go below it.

Bradley was certain a month back that this won't make $300m but now since it made that he brings up inflation, well done.

No one is saying it did beyond expectations but it just did fine. I do believe expectations were a little high and then the movie was also not as great as LOTR trilogy.

Mostly I was protesting the misuse of the word "lock" - - but yeah I was praying for it to miss the $300m.

You're crazy, $450M would have been the very best case scenario. It would have been lucky to make over $400M. A few weeks before it came out, $375M-400M seemed about right. $450M would have been PHENOMENAL.

However $300M is disappointing.

It was not a lock when it came out but after the holidays it was a lock. I don't how you define your lock...like the movie at $299.99m is a lock or whatever but this was a sure thing from what I saw.
