you definitely make a compelling argument. Both avengers and Hunger Games opened in a marketplace...
that was weak, similar to this weekend. Avengers improved upon spidey 3 by 37.3%. If The Hobbit increases upon Legend by a similar amount, that puts its opening at $105.9m. The Hunger Games beat Alice by 31.4%. If Hobbit performs the same it will gross $101.4m. Let's say Avatar would've collected $10m more on opening weekend if not for the storm. I think this is a reasonable assumption. If Hobbit opens 37% higher than $87m it will make $119.2m. I don't think it is crazy to suggest that the movie will make $120m or more this weekend. Again, I predicted $108m, but truly, the film could open with anywhere from $75m to $125m. Not calling you out, because everything anyone says at this point is conjecture, but what do you think it will make this weekend? Again, not confrontational, just curious.
To all of you saying that a movie released in December can't open with $100m +.... Dec 13, 19:53
It's probably worth recapping every current prediction we have. {nm} Dec 13, 20:17

Oh, feel free to call me out. I'd guess about $87, with $100 as the best-case scenario and $75 as the floor. {nm} Dec 13, 20:48
