Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Hateful Eight’ Launches With $1.9 Million on Christmas

Five weeks ago, "Hunger Games: Mockingjay 2" launched at $114 million (budget $160 million) and was instantly dubbed a flop because the financial wizards had forecast $125 million, though there was no rational basis for that outrageously optimistic prediction that no other film in history had ever achieved.  This weekend, Tarantino's new film "Hateful Eight" has launched at $1.9 (budget $44 million) and is being called "impressive." And last week the new Star Wars launched at $248 million (budget $200 million) against a forecast of $250 million and has been hailed an instant phenomenon.  When it comes to film, sometimes these wizards of Wall Street just don't make any sense at all.
