Box Office Thread: Winter is Coming...

[xiayun]

$300m domestic and $1b WW look realistic.

[Jonathan]

Weekend actuals are in. Not too any changes, though Band went up $560,000, and Lincoln's PTA went up to $85,856. Excellent start for both.

[AliasDarren]

Skyfall did $11.3m on Monday (thanks to the holiday) enough to get it to $101.9m. Insane. Wreck-It Ralph will cross $100m today.

[coolinout1]

Wow, crazy how Vamps shot up 300.2% in the one theater it was playing in!

Was that the same theater playing it in it's opening week? Hmmm...that reminds me, it came out on DVD yesterday!

[Jonathan]

The Sessions will be in 514 theaters this weekend, so this will probably be the widest it goes, and give a good idea of just where it'll end up box office-wise.

No Opening Record For Final Twilight Saga? ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′ Looks Like $60M-$65M Friday And $135M Weekend For $174M Worldwide; ‘Skyfall’ $31M, ‘Lincoln’ $20M



Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice Weinstein's SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK drew up a debut of $120k @ 16 sites--$7,526 per.

[Markku Palo]

Lincoln earned $6.37 million in its first day of wide release, beating the measely $6.25 million pulled by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter earlier this year.

Breaking Dawn Part II got an A Cinemascore, vs. B+ for Part I. Perhaps this will end up making more in the long run.

[shooter_mcgavin]

Yeey we live in a world where a Twilight Movie get's an A this calls for a Meme



I've actually donated money to Charity the amount I spent in total for these Twilight movies. So I can kind of right the wrong I may have caused.

[Artimus]

Twilight getting an A makes total sense. Only fans are going!

I was absolutely certain that The Sessions was going to become a commercial hit. There's really no winning formula these days smh

[dyedred19]

How in the WORLD could you think The Sessions would a commercial hit?

[Shy_Hallaman]

Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice History is alive and well. Spielberg's LINCOLN scored a 3rd place finish with a sensational $21M.

[russen18]

yay for SLPB and AK

Yay, Lincoln over-performed a bit! And it has an 'A' Cinemascore! It is definitely passing $100 M.

Well, then all the Twilights should've gotten an A.
Also, the audience had a higher % of males than any of the previous installments - 25%, I think?

Tracking -
MTC (3 day)
Silver Linings Playbook - 1.5 (even in 400ish theatres, that would be terrible)
Red Dawn - 14
Life of Pi - 17
Rise of the Guardians - 32

RS (5 day)
Guardians - mid 50s
Pi - low 20s
Dawn - mid teens

Looks like Anna Karenina will expand to about 50 theaters on Wednesday, with a bigger expansion planned for the 30th. Hitchcock opens in 16 theaters on Friday.

[Cecilia]

How in the WORLD could you think The Sessions would a commercial hit?

The marketplace is currently saturated with well reviewed movies for adults. I bet Sessions would have done better if it didn't have to compete against Bond, Argo, Flight, Lincoln and now AK and SLP. It's sad to see good dramas cannibalizing each other.

[Bob Burns]

Lincoln will float.... be one of those films that hangs around in the top five/ten week after week with odd drops and rises.

Everyone's gonna see it.

Wonder how it will play internationally.

[Eternal]
