It will be more backloaded than the first, but that's still a disappointing number.

Our KJ thread says H1 did $12.4m in midnights while THR says $13m

13 million last year for H1, but I'm not sure if both had the same amount of screenings.

I'm not sure how bad of a sign that is. This probably has less frontloading from the most hardcore LOTR fanatics, who waited 9 years for H1. That most devoted fanbase can affect the midnight numbers significantly.

not a really good number. But remember films seem less frontloaded over the weekend this year (think IM3, Thor 2, Catching Fire) so a 70 something million opening is still possible.



Also, I swear Hobbit 1 had earlier showings

Expected. I definitely think this will be more backloaded than the first, though I still expect the OW to come in lower than the first.

so looks like a little less than 30 million unless it really picks up for the day.

I knew it! "BUT IT HAS A DRAGON!"

With that number, I'm not sure it'll hit 30 million OD. I'm seeing something like 28/ 21/ 15 for a 64 weekend. Could still go less.

I still think it will go over 70 million. I suspect it will be more backloaded. I would also say lets wait we saw what happened when people jumped to conclusions with Catching Fire.

I think people realized the CF thread was more of a joke, at the end of the day, it was still a 150+ opening, and was going to have a great hold run thanks to Thanksgiving. A 33% drop in audience the rest of the weekend would be 56 million. Now there is backloading, but that much? I think 64-68 seems like the best bet.

These numbers are pretty much expected. We'll probably get a $75-80 million opening weekend, but WoM will be better overall, good enough for at least a $290 million total.

I don't think it does better than $27m today with that number.

I think it's more likely to be more frontloaded.

Might not beat Star Trek. I had a feeling it could drop quite a bit.

I remember that Friday and saturday, people were calling it disappointing from the friday numbers and the movie was more backloaded than we thought. Again, lets wait until Sunday before we jump disappointing.

But still not more backloaded than The Hunger Games. With the last one's frontloading we are looking at a 'disappointment'.

We haven't even seen Friday's numbers yet, so lets wait. People are getting out of hand with jumping the gun with Friday numbers. I wish it was like the old days when we didn't know anything until Saturday.
