BOG: HGAM2 grossed eye-popping $25.25M from just THU night shows from 8pm on! Oleg Max Nov 22, 07:50

Wow, nice! {nm} tatoufan Nov 22, 08:04

BOOM! {nm} lobogotti Nov 22, 08:04

28% bette than first but first I think didnt start until either 10 or 12 vs 8 {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 08:05

It was midnight only; 8/10PM didn't become the norm until beginning of this year {nm} PositiveJon Nov 22, 08:23

Could make 194M if 28% increase carries over for the weekend. {nm} thatpj Nov 22, 10:17

Shrug. My eyeballs are still in my sockets. {nm} islander Nov 22, 08:25

I think you and I are thinking the same thing on our EAP picks...we either emerge victorious together or die together :D tealfan Nov 22, 08:42

oh oops, actually i will go a bit higher when i get a chance (but still a touch lower than most) {nm} islander Nov 22, 08:47

traitor! =P {nm} tealfan Nov 22, 09:12

what's encouraging about HGAM2 is how the quality of the first propelled it to over 400M. lobogotti Nov 22, 08:57

TWLI2 $26.3M, TWLI3 $30M, TWLI4 $30.3M, TWLI5 $30.4M {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 08:58

massive indeed, but not one of those films opened to near what Hunger Games did off its first film. closest was 10M behind. {nm} lobogotti Nov 22, 09:05

$10M in the ramge of $140-$150M is only 6%. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 09:08

true, but there are major differences between the films. I don't feel like HGAM2 is anything fanboy (or girlish), but rather a film that lobogotti Nov 22, 09:21

the WOM is strong on this. I really want to hate HGAMES and im trying to nitpick but cant. LOL i guess the score sucked. {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 22, 09:53

score it on a 1 thru 10 scale... what say your grade? {nm} lobogotti Nov 22, 10:39

Part 2= 7.8/10 Part 1 = 5.9/10 {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 22, 10:52

I'd say Part 1 was a good 6.5 or a tad better.... so encouraging indeed. {nm} lobogotti Nov 22, 11:39

i couldnt sit thru 10 minutes of any twilight movie, H-games had me locked into my seats for 2hrs+ {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 22, 09:08

Could not have said it better myself! {nm} arbybaker Nov 22, 09:15

That's why more could've been expected. Perhaps the older fans are waiting till the weekend. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 09:18

dunno, i dont feel the awareness is there yet for 8p/10p showing, average joe thinks its still a midnight show. {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 22, 09:55

If you're planning to be the first to watch it then you would know the time shift. It's not like they're gonna show up blind at midnight. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 10:04

yeah and many ppl still think first to watch = midnight, so they pass on staying up late and settle for friday adrenalin112 Nov 22, 11:01

Solid start. Already passed one threshold (25M) by doubters. {nm} thatpj Nov 22, 09:17
