What's really impressive is that it's actually about even in the US and overseas.

Oldboy.... I actually thought it would make a little more. I didn't think it would tank THAT bad, but wow. I guess movie-goers actually are tired of remakes.

It should be close to 800 million worldwide by the time Hobbit 2 comes out next weekend.
Crazy thing is the movie hasn't even been out for a month yet
JoJo1982
JoJo1982 - 12/8/2013, 9:01 AM

@omega

It's more likely to get close to 800 million by next weekend, I think by the time catching fire is done at the theatres which could be around march or April, it should total up way past a billion dollars

Out pacing Harry Potter doesn't mean it will make a billion dollars. For instance, the last Harry Potter movie made a billion in 19 days. Catching Fire will not do that.

Umm the Hobbit is to be a big hit, but Hunger Games it's not going to like disappear from theatres is basically what you saying
JoJo1982
JoJo1982 - 12/8/2013, 9:25 AM
Also gotta think about the competition it has for the next few months

The Hobbit 2 and what 47 ronin
JoJo1982
JoJo1982 - 12/8/2013, 9:31 AM
What I'm predicting is what I'm predicting

Y'all got admit a movie that made almost 700 million dollars in only 3 weeks of released is pretty damn good


Also

Dark knight rises was a summer movie
The last Harry Potter was a summer movie
Hungers game 1 came out a month before the big summer movies rain on it(AVENGERS!!!)


Now how many Big movies we got coming in the month or so?

I got roped into Hunger Games and boy was it dumb! I didn;t like the 1st one, either. The acting was bad, the storyline (ahem) was bland and the costumes were Gaga. UGH!!!

JoJo1982 - 12/8/2013, 9:32 AM
@remy

Man of Steel
World war z

@TheRealRemyLebeau

Everybody talks about Monsters University breaking Man of Steel but it did no such thing. What broke Man of Steel was World War Z. It also outpaced Man of Steel though it ended up making less.
