Most sequels' BO correlates with how good the last installment was.

Posted by: badvladdy on Dec 14, 17:03 in response to gogreen's post I guess Hobbit will follow into the famous Matrix pattern

If the last movie was good the next one will almost always do better even if it's not as good as the first, and vice versa.

I guess Hobbit will follow into the famous Matrix pattern {nm} gogreen Dec 14, 09:50

im really surprised. i figured its a movie based on a beloved classic and the first trilogy did so well and all.... guess people are tired horrorfanatic Dec 14, 10:13

Hobbit isn't going to survive the onsalught of movies that are coming out in the next two weeks. {nm} thedudeman2222 Dec 14, 10:58

The difference between LOTR and the hobbit is the LOTR was three seperate books, over hundereds of pages long, and the hobbit is 200 300 pag thedudeman2222 Dec 14, 11:00

Speaking for myself, I'm weary of the "must-see" Tolkein diet; still feeling cynical about the 3-part stretch. I can wait. A long time. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 14, 11:36

This. Part of what works about The Hobbit as a book is simplicity and speed. {nm} jjmarino Dec 14, 11:37

Maybe weather is a factor? {nm} PVL Admin Dec 14, 12:00

I wouldn't write off Hobbit2 yet. It will get fantastic WOM and hobbits might be relatively small but they have strong legs. [nm] ladybegood Dec 14, 10:43

The weekend is not over yet, remember HGAM2? I think HOBT2 may have an upside surprise. {nm} elchan2012 Dec 14, 10:44

Matrix pattern? The second film increased and the third lost half its gross (something that isn't expected of Hobbit yet). {nm} ShawnMR Dec 14, 12:58
