Ajde Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The Hobbit means some serious business in Poland, where it opened with 547 047 admissions for a weekend and 892 066 if we add the numbers from the pre-shows, which started on Tuesday. Can't say for sure, but that would be around 3,8 mln opening for a weekend's result alone. Stunning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajde Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Nah, don't think that's possible.Even if TH gets the same amount of admissions as the LOTR films, it still won't be enough to break even 20 mln.But you know, never say never Edited January 1, 2013 by Ajde 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajde Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 ^Yeah me too.Anyway according to http://boxoffice.screendaily.com/countries/12/charts/28693Hobbit grossed 3,81 $ mln on its opening weekend. In terms of the $ gross that would make it the second biggest opening.6,13 $mln from Tuesday(Dec 25th) to Sunday seems to be a great result as well.Also, the Hobbit has passed 1 mln in admissions earlier this week, probably on the 1st of January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 What does Hobbit need by end of weekend to be considered a good result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajde Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 9-10 mln I'd say. ( weekdays aren't that much important though, what crucial is not to drop more than 50% from its opening weekend), that would place it then in a very good spot with chances of endind the run grossing more than 15 mln. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajde Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Quite a while since I posted anything in this thread but man, about time I did so with recent Iron Man 3 opening in Poland. In its first 4 days of release, from Thursday to Sunday it made 235 000 admissions, which is a great result. It already beats whole runs of either IM1 and IM2. Don't know the breakdown for singular days and it remember it counts for 4 days instead of a regular 3 day ow. Comparision: Iron Man 3 - opening weekend(4 days) 235 000 admissions Iron Man 2 - opening weekend 56 418 admissions; 200 644 admissions for a whole run Iron Man 1 - opening weekend 32 095 admissions; 133 992 admissions for a whole run The Avengers - opening weekend 125 751 admissions; 502 053 admissions for a whole run Edited May 13, 2013 by Ajde 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpo Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'll soon will restart this thread with weekly numbers but I'm waiting for 1H14 full numbers to show up so I could have a good point of start 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpo Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Top 10 weekend by admissions ( 25.07.2014 - 27.07.2014 ) ( table description: this weekend place, last weekend place, weekend admissions, total admissions ) 1 - Hercules 48,126 48,126 2 1 Planes 2 46,176 186,741 3 3 How to Train Your Dragon 2 18,738 868,381 4 2 Step Up: All in 15,300 73,696 5 5 The Nut Job 12,980 242,649 6 4 Transformers: AOE 11,124 521,916 7 - Chef 11,110 12,907 8 8 The Purge: Anarchy 9,409 41,134 9 7 Supercondriaque 8,492 88,441 10 6 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 8,308 101,350 Great, hot and sunny weather once again produced a very slow weekend in cinemas. This July is probably the weakest in years mostly due to fantastic weather. Overall this summer is weaker than usual and Summer overall is not a great time for cinemas in Poland. Only movies doing well are animations ( HTTYD 2 is slowly pushing towards 1 milion admissions, Planes 2 should end up with around 350-400K admissions and Nut Job should reach 300K admissions ), Transformers 4 ( ~550K admission in the end ) and Maleficent ( ~600K admissions ). PS. It's confirmed that this is the worst July since 2003 with just ~1.85 million tickets sold. Edited July 30, 2014 by chimpo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I made a list of movies that should do well in the second half of the year.

Rsyu Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 what is the local film share like? Is Poland a Hollywood dominated market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpo Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's around 75% hollywood, 20% local movies, 5% other. There are years when local movies have around 30% share in the market. The only big local production left for this year is Miasto 44 ( City 44 ), which could be really huge. This is a favourite for first place in this year Box Office. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 That's a good market for Hollywood so Do you have numbers about the size of that market and its growth? For example the size of the Brazilian market reached $0.84B ($840 million) in 2013 and it grew by 15%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpo Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Here are yearly admissions from 2005 to 2013 [*]2005 - 23.6 million admissions [*]2006 - 32.0 million admissions [*]2007 - 32.6 million admissions [*]2008 - 33.8 million admissions [*]2009 - 39.2 million admissions [*]2010 - 37.5 million admissions [*]2011 - 38.7 million admissions [*]2012 - 38.5 million admissions [*]2013 - 36.3 million admissions Market value in local currency is growing each year and last year it was ~800 million PLN ( ~270 million $ ) 2005 is a little bit misleading. Overall after 5-6 years of stable numbers at around 28-31 milion admission, we had a jump to almost 40 milion admissions in 2009. The numbers are now stable at around 37-38 milion admissions for 4-5 years, so if the trend continues then we should see a bigger jump soon again. Polish currency is still rather weak to $ since 2009, so the currency exchange is not favourable for the market. Market is growing and big cinema chains are adding more cinemas in small and medium cities, which will help getting more admissions. They are also planning adding more cinemas to big markets like Warsaw, Lodz, TriCity, Poznan, Szczecin, Lublin. If only local movies would become bigger magnet for viewers then the market could grow to around 50 milion admissions per year in next 5 years.

Thanks for these great numbers This market has a lot of room to grow given it's three times smaller than the Spanish market. I hope it can go up in admissions but I have doubts because the number of births has been in free fall for 25 years,the current stagnation could last but I hope I'm wrong,we need bigger markets in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was similar in South Korea, the movie going population originally wasn't that large. The financial success of local movie Swiri in 1999 was a watershed moment of sorts and the growing local film industries has been instrumental in developing the overall film culture ever since. It would be great if something similar happened in Poland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpo Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It's interesting that during Communism Era it was normal that we had way above 120 milion admissions per year. But back then tickets were cheap so everyone could go and see a movie. I think it's still possible for the market to reach at least 60-70 milion admissions in 10-15 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
