Analysis: Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy concludes this December with The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies . Outside of hardcore fans, though, it doesn’t seem like there’s much excitement surrounding this finale. The franchise is currently on a downward trajectory: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey earned 20 percent less than The Return of the King, while The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was off 15 percent from An Unexpected Journey. The bleeding should slow down with The Battle of the Five Armies: Smaug was widely considered an improvement over its predecessor, and franchise finales tend to do pretty well. Unlike the last two years, though, The Hobbit isn’t the only major movie coming out this December. Noting the lukewarm reception of the first installment, other studios programmed some very competitive titles: Exodus: Gods and Kings , Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb and Into the Woods should all chip away at this movie’s audience. As a result, a modest decline seems to be in order (somewhere in the five to ten percent range).

Holiday 2014 Forecast: ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ – Box Office Mojo
The movie seems to be about a young girl who wishes to share Christmas with a friend she can depend onwhich turns out to be the internet celebrity Grumpy Cat, who for some reason can talk in Aubrey Plazas voice. Its hard to surmise what else will happen in this movie, except that Grumpy Cat will talk incessantly and fire a paintball gun and cause all manner of hijinks. Lets hope the folks at Lifetime havent discovered any other internet memes, or else well have A Sudden Clarity Clarence Thanksgiving to look forward to in 2015. Tags:
