Given it's a Moses movie, though, is this or is it not expected to bring in that surprisingly strong "faith-based" audience, as well as the typical mainstream audience which looks lackluster by those numbers? While faith-based. It seems more action oriented than affirmation of faith like say, The Passion. Yeah, I'm thinking this is perhaps a manufactured way to grab that segment of the audience, by putting this major religious-in-a-way movie out at Christmastime. And given stories in the past of church groups actually putting together what were basically big field trips and busing people to theatres, this might not be the best time of the year to expect them to do that, as I'm certain these same groups have already been knee-deep in their own Christmas church activities for weeks, if not months, now.

Objectively, Mockingjay was boring as hell and a completely unnecessary cash grab. I don't like picking on fans that often, but their money could have been much better spent.

Well my money is being better spent. I knew it was a cash grab when I saw them announce the split. I read the book. I knew it wasn't long or super detailed enough to where they needed two films for it. So I knew damn well it was a cash grab, and hell I'm not gonna rent it, not gonna buy its home release, unless I get like some complete series version of the films. I won't pirate it, though. I'll just wait till it eventually comes to Netflix, so I can see it legally while giving the studio the smallest amount of money I personally can.

Objectively, Mockingjay was boring as hell and a completely unnecessary cash grab. I don't like picking on fans that often, but their money could have been much better spent. Yeah, but still...the fact that it's going to be close says a lot. I can see them keeping the movie in theaters for so long to try and get every ounce of money needed (remember how Frozen stayed in theaters for like 2 months after the DVD release just so they could crack $400M domestic?) to beat GotG. But it barely beating it still says everything. If Mockingjay would have hit $400M, I would have not said a word and given the title to them. But if Mockingjay barely squeaks by a couple million, the story of the year is still going to be GotG. A movie that nobody thought had a chance. Not just that, but an ORIGINAL movie. The last movie that wasn't a sequel or part of a franchise (why I'm not including The Avengers) to be #1 domestically was unsurprisingly Avatar. Before that though, the first Spider-Man movie.

That's $44 million down the drain for Sony.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies made $11.2 million from Tuesday evening shows, which is up from the $8.8 million made by The Desolation of Smaug last year. Reviews are mixed, but leaning slightly positive. The final installment of a franchise usually improves on the gross of previous film.
