17 Dec 2012

Singapore - THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY takes the no. 1 spot with US$1,729,846 - the 6th biggest opening weekend and 4th widest release of 2012. It arrives on 107 screens in up to 6 different formats - 2D, 3D, IMAX 3D, IMAX 3D HFR, 2D Dolby Atmos and 3D Dolby Atmos.

No other major films open, but THE HOBBIT's screen average of US$16,167 is far from promising. It's the second lowest amongst films that start out with US$1m and above this year. Its box office is likely to be affected the following week with the release of three major films - Jackie Chan's CZ12 (十二生肖),  JACK REACHER starring Tom Cruise and Disney's latest animated hit, WRECK-IT RALPH.
