The Martian OS Thread | 17m Weekend | 245.6m OS total

[Rsyu]

Predictions? Looking on IMDb it was scheduled to be released in late November/early December in most countries but I guess that could change with the release date in the Domestic market being moved ahead of schedule to October 2nd. What do you think? Over or under Gravity OS?

I have a feeling this is going to do really well overseas, maybe a little less than Gravity/Interstellar but still above 350-450 mil

I see Life of Pi numbers overseas.

Assuming they didn't change this particular aspect of the book, it has a neat China connection. (Though I guess it doesn't have a release date there yet?)

[Rsyu]

I'm pretty sure this will get a Chinese release and their role in the book is pretty positive as opposed to the usual skullduggery so I can see it getting a good reception there (all assuming they don't botch up the movie of course).

The Martian>Interstellar should be a good target providing they don't bury it in a really terrible release date.

Will people be sick of the annual space movie though?

Why would they be? 1 year isn't a short span of time and other genres are produced with higher frequencies without the same problem. I think the more pertinent question is whether or not it will be a good film.

Venezuela, October 2nd.

 

Much obliged. How do you see this playing in Venezuela and South America in general?

[MattW]

I'm thinking around 250-300m, 400 max.

[DAJK]

$315-$375M

[Rsyu]

why so low? Both Gravity and Interstellar managed $450M+ OS and early reviews suggest The Martian could be a really well made movie. Don't see how it goes below 400 really.

I have to agree. With China being more stronger with their markets, i can easily see it grossing above the $600M WW-mark. It could be Matt Damon's highest grossing film if it beats Interstellar's $675M WW-gross.

Yeah this. The only problem I see right now is that The Martian could potentially be facing up against Spectre in China which could cut into it's run. 

[fmpro]

Budget is 108 mill and its hard to see less than 500 mill WW...

It will be a smash hit

[Rsyu]

Anyone else think that the timely announcement from NASA of the potential existence of water on Mars could boost awareness of this film internationally?

[MinaTakla]

Ridley Scott’s space survival story is scheduled to touch down in approximately 50 territories this weekend, fresh from its strong debut at last month’s Toronto International Film Festival.

The UK, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Taiwan and Hong Kong are expected to deliver the biggest hits forThe Martian.
