27. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1- 3 - November 23

Despite following two well received predecessors, a mass marketing campaign, pent up demand for something enormous to see, and having the Hunger Games in the title, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 opened 35 million lower than Catching Fire. That is basically what Catching Fire opened to in 2 days. It was a much more preciptious drop than those for the Harry Potter and Twilight franchises, despite far better reviews than the Twilight sequel. Hopefully the series will rebound with the final film.

Upcoming Films [ The Equalizer, The Penguins of Madagascar

I won't say Dumb and Dumber To is definitely out yet. It's unlikely, but it could rebound over thanksgiving.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Equalizer is Denzel Washington's 3rd biggest hit to date. After a decent opening, The Equalizer had an oddly front loaded run, especially considering its strong hold in its second weekend against Gone Girl and Annabelle. Loss of IMAX may have hurt it a little bit, but it is puzzling why this was not able to get higher at the box office.

Upcoming Films Exodus:Gods and Kings, The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies
Leaving the List Dumb and Dumber To, Horrible Bosses 2

The Penguins of Madagascar are likely to make it, but it won't be until late December at the earliest.

Didn't realize Sony finally gave Equalizer the necessary push to get past $100m. The legs for this one were pretty weak.

I am sure Christmas will see some surprises.

You were right Jack Sparrow.

With HB2 and D&D To both failing to reach 100m - 33-35 films seems about right.

Just like November with all of its breakouts

^ December is generally a surprise month and we've always have one or two big surprises. November did still surge and the openings were big but not big enough as the last few years.

Yeah but the year in general is again in need of breakouts.

Okay.

The Interview will certainly not reach this mark now. Exodus is unlikely and Penguins is near impossible. Hobbit, NATM and Into the Woods still appear to be locks, but that only gets us to 31. Annie, Unbroken, Selma and American Sniper could all make it, but we would still only match the record.

My prediction is that Annie, Unbroken and one of the two wide expanders next year will get there, which will give us 34 films, which should tie 2009's second place record.

The Hobbit hobbles to 100 million in one week, faster than its predecessor.

29. The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies- 7 - December 23

The Hobbit the Battle of the Five Armies managed to gross more in its first seven days than the Desolation of Smaug, and is 11 million ahead of its pace. Due to Christmas still being down the line for Smaug through the same point, that gap is unlikely to widen significantly, but it is still a decent performance that could have just as easily done less than its predecessor

I think Unbroken and Selma will also make 100 million, which will bring this list to 34 films for the year, which will still tie for second place with 2009.

Don't forget The Interview. That might make $100m.

Not with VOD.

Yeah, perhaps with VOD it will not achieve $100m.

Oop, it looks like Annie may not make it.

The leaks really took away those $10m+ out of its total.

The screener leaks really took away those $10m+ out of its total.

American Sniper will likely do it too

Same with Selma and The Imitation Game.

So NATM3, ITW, Unbroken AS, TIG and Selma will likely all do it. That would be record equalling 35 movies. If The Interview would have stayed we could have seen a new record.

Is Annie completely out of the hunt?

Yes, it is. It will be lucky to make $70m.

But it is already at 53 million...
