Box Office Predictions (08-10th Nov) Results
Real shocking results this weekend. Thor The Dark World won the weekend! With practically no competition yeah that obviously happened and really this is why I don’t do the prediction past summer because even I am bored. Go watch some movies!
Returning Films
Can’t forget about are returning films as well. Ender’s Game may have won last weekend but wow did this drop like a led brick this weekend, 62% drop to $10M. Bad Grandpa may have dropped more than I thought but still came up 2nd place next to Thor 2. Gravity is still holding on and within hugging distance to Ender’s Game.

New Films
Thor: The Dark World
Analysis:
Slightly under what some predicted but still an excellent result for Thor 2, $86M this weekend. That number is a 31% jump on Thor 1 (win) granted Iron Man 3 gave a 36% jump but were not going to compare this too much. Now I thought this film would get more of an female audience than most superhero films alas the audience was 62% male. Thor smash! Internationally though this film is smashing its past numers and has nearly made its international earnings in two weeks.

I was disappointed with Thor 1 so I wouldn’t think 2 would do so good. Good call, a lot of peeps are saying this one is excellent and should have been the first, so I want to see it now.

Yeah, we’re really getting into Oscar nominee territory here. My guess is ’12 Years a Slave,’ ‘Enough Said,’ and ‘Blue is the Warmest Color’ will be getting some important nods soon.

I’m happy for Thor 2, which looks terrific and will be the next film I see. But Ender’s Game, Ender’s Game, what happened? It’s my favorite sci-fi novel, and the film was better and MUCH more faithful than I could have hoped for. It deserves to be seen, but with an overcrowded season and a bad marketing campaign, I guess it never stood a chance. Here’s hoping it’s appreciated in time.

The marketing has been terrible but that’s the luck of the draw. Hopefully people will see it on DVD 😀

Nice numbers!!! You’re pretty accurate here, I am surprised to see Free Birds even doing this well. I’ve heard nothing but crap things about it. Great to see Gravity still. . .clinging on to dear life. 🙂

I don’t even know what Free Birds is haha 😀

I think I predicted between $70 to $80 right, so we’re both off by about $5 mil. That’s a pretty good number, though of course, hard to beat Iron Man’s stellar box office prowess!

We were equally wrong, high five 😀
Yeah good numbers, what we should expect from marvel from here out 😀

Yeah, high five! I actually thought you might’ve been closer in the numbers given how popular it has been internationally.

I think it should be on to make $600-700M worldwide 😀
