The Hobbit earned an estimated $8.4 million on The first Friday of 2015 bringing its 17 day total to $207.2 million. It decreased 10% from New Years Day, which is better than The Return Of The King's 17% daily decline and it was down 46% from last Friday, which is similar to ROTK's week-on-week drop of 44.5%.
For the weekend I stand by my earlier prediction of $22 million, which would be a 46% drop from last weekend. In comparison ROTK dropped 44%, however a $22 million weekend for BOTFA would be just 22% less than ROTK's third weekend. This would see The Battle Of The Five Armies keep 1st position at the box office for the third week running. By the end of the weekend, it shall've crossed the $220 million mark which would put it 24% behind the $290 million earned by ROTK at the same point.
International
Between Christmas and New Year, The Hobbit earned another $52 million across the rest of the globe to bring its overseas total to $458 million. It will cross the $500 million mark over the weekend to reach a worldwide total of over $700 million; $1 billion worldwide still appears to be within reach.
