Tower Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) 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.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 2013 was up again, 7.7% in admissions (while the population grew 1.9%), but I doubt 2014 can continue this since the year so far has been relatively weak. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
