V: Warner Bros.' "The Hobbit" tracking in the $75 million range. Antibody Dec 06, 14:12

If that turns out to be true, the per-theatre average for that movie will be less than TDKR, which was 2D only. accountant_4_Jesus Dec 06, 14:27

And that would make sense, based on both franchises history... no? Batman is bigger, domestically, than LOTR... gardavou Dec 06, 14:35

It would make sense regarding Batman, but not really regarding JB23! {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 06, 14:39

Which is only 2 less than AVAT for the same time period. makes sense? I think so. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 06, 14:52

Studios typically low-ball expectations. All this tells us is that $75 million is the floor. They wouldn't put that number out if there was ShawnMR Dec 07, 09:01

V didn't say this came from WB. Typical, when the home studio lowballs, it's a second number of their expectation vs. the trackings. {nm} Antibody Dec 07, 09:14

True, I misread the article at first. Still, I think the same principle generally applies. For all we know, that pulls from what Wrap said {nm} ShawnMR Dec 07, 10:43
