Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
Yeah, don't get me wrong I don't think one film is better then the others, just concluding on what the general public will lean towards. I would be thrilled if The Hobbit got that high, I'm sure it will get close. I sure as hell hope it does better then the Avengers.
My most anticipated movies go like this:
TDKR/The Hobbit (too close to decide
)
Spidey
The Avengers
Bond
Bourne Legacy (Hopefully 2012
)
Edit: Just wanted to say your sig is EPICLY awesometacular!

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
Well, if The Hobbit part one makes 500-600 million world wide it will be considered a huge failure. That would be 200 million dollars less than TTT made. Middle-Earth has gone beyond just being a niche type genre with how people see it. That's why I'm 110% confident it will do so well. I'm gonna do my part I figure I'll see the first part at least 4-5 times.
Thanks! The Entity did that for me.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
Yeah, I bet the first part does close to 600-700 million if it does well. Part II will be the one that makes the big bucks, mostly because the first will help pick up the heat for the second after it's released on Blu Ray. I'll probably end up seeing it 4-5 times as well.

Like I said we shall see. I think 600-700 million is just really off the mark (I'm beating a dead horse at this point since I've said the same thing in 4-5 posts). Then the second probably will do equally as well if not better placing both films within the top 5 world wide box office easy.

Are we talking internationally?? Internationally The Hobbit (Parts 1 AND 2) will make over 1 billion each. I have no doubt about that. Especially after LOTR, and the fact that The Hobbit is one of the best loved books ever. Add to that 3D as well, and you've got at least a billion at the box office.
The Dark Knight Rises I don't know. I really don't know yet. The Dark Knight did very well, obviously, but does that mean this one will?
And I agree that the Avengers will do the least of these 3, and will do about the same (probably slightly more) as IM 2.
Anyway, trust me when I say I am looking forward to all these films, and will probably see them all a few times as well.

I'm talking about domestically (U.S). They'll easily make over a billion internationally.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
"But no living man am I! You look upon a woman! Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."
Turning it into a one liner for the final blow really killed the moment.
I think what really hurt the line was the placement. In the books it was only a small part of a larger piece of dialogue that occured before the fight began:
"But no living man am I! You look upon a woman! Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
Can anybody answer the age old question for me. Why didn't Gandalf and Frodo just ride the eagles to Mount Doom? Is it because the Eye and the Nazgul would have seen them and the eagles couldn't take em'?

PJ utterly failed with his handling of this scene. As I've said many times before the Rankin Bass cartoon has more dramatic impact and is truer to the book than PJ's version which was a complete disappointment for me.
1 billion world-wide for the Hobbit?? Maybe. The world is so down and out now that either they will clamor for some escape or not get interested. I swear when I was a kid blockbusters meant something different than they do now. It seems there is no enduring cultural event when it comes to movies. I guess Avatar had some legs, Titanic as well, but as a child of the 70s Star Wars was everything.

Man if PJ had used all that dialog it would have sucked.

I love this interview and good to see him in good spirits and health but it's tinged with sadness seeing him so old. He's doing very well for an active actor pushing 90yrs young though.
So glad he managed to film his scenes for the two films. This for me is the icing on the cake.
Cant wait to see what PJ has created
