THR: HGAM2 Friday matinee grosses are trailing behind the first film. Antibody Nov 22, 14:50

"Based on early returns, box office observers are divided as to whether Catching Fire can match the $152.5 million debut of HGAME" - wow... {nm} Oleg Max Nov 22, 14:53

Nobody knows anything! {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 15:02

how can they be divided if they have #s in front of them? its either beating HGAME or not... if not, are they still holding out hope for Oleg Max Nov 22, 15:05

Because they have different opinions. Nobody knows anything! {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 15:06

wouldn't their opinion be based on hard #s though? i take it middies are throwing them off... {nm} Oleg Max Nov 22, 15:08

You should know that by how the projections vary and change from now until Sun morning. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 15:13

I get it might be tough for an original flick, but wouldn't it be so much easier to compare data of the sequel to the original and come up Oleg Max Nov 22, 15:21

The midnights are ahead, but the Friday matinees are behind. There's already a contradiction. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 15:24

An "accurate" estimate for the weekend could still be $15-20 million off. Different movies perform differently, even when they are similar. {nm} RogerMore Nov 22, 15:30

because it might play differently than the first film, e.g., more people go at night and later in the weekend than came out early last time {nm} charlie Nov 22, 15:09

because they {nm} tealfan Nov 22, 15:18

because they're not in a hurry to admit they were wrong {nm} tealfan Nov 22, 15:18

On the other hand, everybody knows nothing! {nm} DTravel Nov 22, 23:48

It's a Young Adult targeted movie... Young Adults are usually in school on Fridays during matinee time {nm} RazorHawk Nov 22, 15:18

weren't they in the school when the first one came out too, or was it a holiday wknd? {nm} Oleg Max Nov 22, 15:24

March 23 was not a holiday weekend. Good Friday was April 6. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 15:27

The first installment came out on Spring Break (at least for my area) {nm} aggie2145 Nov 22, 15:32

SPRING BREAK WOOHOO! {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 22, 17:06

"Spring break. Spring break. Spring break fo'ever." {nm} Willroast Nov 22, 17:30

Is it going to be a rollercoaster of a night for this stock??...haha! A very expensive ride considering official projection are not in yet?? {nm} Malachi1 Nov 22, 15:24
