I expect this is a very conservative estimate.

Late shows Thursday at Chinook:

IMAX

10:00 PM (100% sold)

AVX

10:30 PM (90% sold)


Friday at Chinook:

IMAX

11:20 AM (half sold), 3 PM (75% sold), 6:45 PM (99% sold), 10:30 PM (99% sold)

AVX

11:30 AM (25% sold), 3:15 PM (50% sold), 7:00 PM (90% sold), 10:45 PM (80% sold)


And that is 4-5 days away.

A quick check of other theatres shows similar results.

It will be a big weekend for The Hobbit.


I would encourage people to not worry about the critics much. There are a fair number of critics who just seem to take pleasure in panning great movies just for attention or something. For me I have always found IMDb ratings a better indicator of how much I like a movie... The Hobbit is at 9.0/10 right now.

Just my $0.02.
