Poland Box Office | Avatar: The Way of Water is HUGE

Recommended Posts

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

It could reach the Top 3 all-time?

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 :P

^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.

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.

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

1 - Hercules   48,126 48,126    

2 1 Planes 2                                       46,176  186,741

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.

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.

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 :D

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 :)

I hear what you say about local films. 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! :)

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.
