An prediction on Top 3 for the year?

I might be wrong but right now I would say (amongst Hollywood films, so far this year a local film is the biggest):

 

1) Mockingjay (catching Fire made 3.74)

2) Interstellar (Inception made 3.67M)

3) HTTYD2

 

Could see Exodus or Penguins Of Madagascar (if it keeps its audience better than Puss in Boots did from Shrek 4) or Hobbit 3 (but it will have to increase from the Hobbit 2) also make it.

I'm not sure where that extra money came from pre weekend, as far as I know it opened on the weekend. Either way though, it is pretty good and has Holidays the following week, and is far better than Percy Jackson or Fault In Our Stars.

Still, 2013 was really impressive, and the improvement in the number of admissions per capita is a good omen for the growth of this market. Given the population is still young and fast-growing there is a lot of room for improvement :)

Next year should be much bigger though, with FF7, the Final Hunger Games, Ted2 and KFP3, all sequels to films that made 3M, so it should be really good.

Yes, Israel is growing 1.8-1.9% each year, and the fertility rate is very high for a high income country:

And the number of children people have has actually gone up lately (amongst Jews, other groups have gone down), so it should continue with similar growth for the foreseeable future:

Actually, I may have spoken too soon, while the films that show up in Mojo are weaker, local films have been very strong. There was a big local hit that made over 400K admissions and is still playing, another couple of films made 200K, and another 2 made 100K. Apparently one of the big theatre chains, Cinema City, had more admissions for Israeli films than Hollywood films over the summer. This, combined with what should be a stronger slate of films from Hollywood at the end of the year, might mean that 2014 will be OK.

Everything is up for the New Year, but everything will plummet again next week for Yom Kippur when theatres will be closed for Friday and Saturday. The Equalizer easily had the highest opening for a Denzell film, but it was helped by the holiday.

5 new films on the chart because of the Holiday, excellent opening for Let's Be Cops, the biggest comedy of the year, beating 22 Jump Street and Neighbours (separate post about this soon). Dracula's opening also seems good for that kind of film. The other openers were not expected to make that much so the numbers are fine for them.

 

The Maze Runner is having a great run, should finish with at least 1.5M, and will probably make 1.6M-1.7M.

Great hold and total for Let's be cops. Good opening for a film like Gone Girl which should be relying on legs. Normal drops for everything else considering the fact that the holiday ended on Thursday. No more holidays until December, so it will be easier to tell what films are trending towards after next weekend.

Any early predictions for interstellar?

 

You can't pre-order more more than 2 days in advance, so I have to go by past Nolan films. TDK and TDKR made 2.5M and 2.7M respectively, and are the two highest grossing superhero films of all time, in a market where superhero is a relatively less successful genre. Inception made almost 3.7M on the back of really great legs (more than 10 multiplier). My guess would be something around Inception, but that is dependant on getting great WOM.

Nice, so Nolan is a pretty established director there. Is November a busy month for movie going?
