raniE Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The reason I sugest taking the number 15th movie and not the the first is to make it less susceptible to statistical outliers. For instance in 2009 AVATAR was a total outlier, meaning in it underperformed DOM, so you get smaller factors.Well, I get the point about outliers, but I don't think Avatar underperformed in the US. I just think the international box office is that much bigger than the US box office. It's just that it isn't usually united behind a single Hollywood film like that.

raniE Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yes, but I see ROTK did nearly the same amount in dollars in 2003 (5 years earlier than Mamma mia!):ROTK - 24.1 millionMamma mia! - 25.059 millionI suspect ROTK had more admissions than Mamma mia!. Exchange rate was higher in 2008 than 2003 (0.15 vs 0.13, 15%), and I suppose prices would be higher too.Just looked the admissions up. Mamma Mia sold 1,904,978 tickets. Return of the King sold 1,836,763. Fellowship however, sold1,942,793 tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raniE Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So Swedish liked a lot LOTR. Do you think we could see similar numbers for The Hobbit?I think the numbers for the Hobbit are definitely going to be big. We haven't had a really big hit movie so far this year, and the Swedish audience went gaga for the Lord of the Rings movies. I don't know if the numbers will be at quite the same level as the Rings, but I definitely expect The Hobbit to blow the competition out of the water. Skyfall should be able to do quite well too, as the latest two Bond films were both bigger than the biggest film so far this year, but it won't stand up to The Hobbit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I hope BOM will one day develop an algorithm that will automatically adjust international grosses by country for inflation. It is doable for most developed and developing countries. The information needed is out there. It will be labor intensive getting the algorithm set up but once it's up and running the hardest part is done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Israel is about 100:1, more than that for OW though since Israel is more backloaded. Edited September 2, 2012 by Tower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 100:1 in Portugal too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Okay thanks Cjohn and Tower. So Exp2 is on it's way to doing more than 100 mill equivalent in Finland. Great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Okay thanks Cjohn and Tower. So Exp2 is on it's way to doing more than 100 mill equivalent in Finland. Great!Well, The Expendables already did more than 150M here in our equivalent. We really love some good old stuff. American Pie 4 did the equivalent of 200M+ in America here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 In Israel Superhero's tend to make less than DOM, Avengers made the equivalent of 245M (much higher than the Iron Men, which made 61M and 68M) and TDKR made 265M so far. On the other hand the Summer "overachievers" are Mad3 with 433M so far and IA4 with 327M so far.But nothing this year comes near the Smurfs, which made a massive 647M last year.

The Toymaker Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Mexico: 14:1Wow, so TE2 is a $115m-sized hit so far. TE1 is only a $75m-sized hit. But it's yet to beat the mighty blockbuster that is ZOOKEEPER....$136m!!Man I love these ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) so Israel is more like Europe than AmericaI suppose, but there are examples where Israel differs from the European norm:HP8 (335M) made less than Inception (367M) and barely half of the Smurfs.Fast Five (295M) beating HP7 (246M), HP6 (215M), HP5 (247M).The Dictator (239M) making similar numbers to TASM (234M).Shrek4 (452M) destroying Shrek3 (277M) and Shrek2 (377M).Revenge Of The Sith (80M) making less than a lot of smaller films, like 40 Year Old Virgin (120M), Hitch (112M), Wedding Crashers (106M) etc. Edited September 10, 2012 by Tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Does anyone remember what France's was? For some reason I'm thinking 7:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Does anyone remember what France's was? For some reason I'm thinking 7:1Maybe a bit higher. Last 3 years it is between 7.25:1 and 7.75:1. I have done some quick calculations and I have obtained that range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done some quick calculations and I have obtained that rangeHow do you find the yearly box office for any country? I know Inny Binny did that at Mojo. So the easiest way to figure it out was if the US did 10 billion in sales and Australia did say 1 billion in sales, then that is where the 10:1 ratio comes from. But Mojo doesn't list a yearly sales chart. And I'm not adding up 300 movies for each country to come up with a ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I calculated for Israel based on numbers from here(PDF), which has a lot of countries, but is a bit dated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
