    Weekly? try this: http://taquilla.estamosrodando.com/

     

     

    Total? https://www.mecd.gob.es/bbddpeliculas/cargarFiltro.do?layout=bbddpeliculas&cache=init&language=es

     

    You have to enter in the box named "Titulo" the title of the film. I have tried original titles and it works. Admissions is the figure next to the word "Espectadores". But it is not updated immediately. Sometimes is necessary to wait some weeks to see the final number. But it is quite accurate. And you have every film released in the country.

    thanks, that helps!

    The real total gross for Avatar is $10.018.880 but BOM lowered their totals because on the weekend of January 15th, 2010 the exchange rate increased from BsF 2.2 per Dollar to BsF 4.3 per Dollar  but that movie was released about a month before the change happened so BOM got this one wrong

     

    well, I got it. thanks.

    I'm working on it.

     

    I know that Titanic and Maleficient are the only ones with +2m admissions (maybe Avatar is in this club too) and Papita, mani, tostòn is the venezuelan movie with more admissions. (1.72m). 

     

    I'll let you know when it's done.

     

    according to boxofficemojo, avatar only made $5,125,939 in Ve, that's not a good number.

    Men in Black 3 / May 21~27th Weekly Box Office Forecast

    This Friday, May 25, comes with Will Smith's Men in Black 3. Will's star power was largely built in the late 1990s, especially by the two MIB films. However WS didnt have one single film on the big screen since Hancock in 2008. So is his star power still there? Can his latest filck live up to the ever expanding oversea markets ? Many wonders or doubts. Currently staying at 63% on Rottentomatoes.com, which is not a particularly high score but should be enough for a third installment that started almost 15 years ago, it seems MIB3 actually delivered after all.

    Desipte no films released since 2008, Will Smith remains one of the top popular hollywood super star in China. Debuted that July 2th, Hancock collected more than 100M yuan in the Chinese theaters, ranking #5 among all the hollywood movies on the yearly chart. Will's other Chinese releases including Bad Boys(1995, 32.8M yuan, #5) and Enemy of the State (1999, 22M yuan, #4). Not too much WS movies released in China, but all of the released ones ranked the yearly top 5 hollywood films at the box office. If MIB3 can follow this trend, it has great chance of joining the $100M club, or at least should be very close to that mark.

    And then how about the marketing of this film ? Sony and Mtime will co-hold its China premiere on 23th May and WS will attend. And the trailer is showing all days recently at the subways in Shanghai. Apparently Sony are really pushing it in China. How about the hype ? Well, still 3 more days to go until it hits the theatres, MIB3 has 12,000+ want to see on Mtime.com and 15,600+ want to see on Douban.com, which respectively are the top 2 movie sites in China. All we know is the figuress are not far-off to, if not higher than, Marvel's The Avengers at the same period of the time. So the marketing is good and the hype is massive, and all it needs is a big opening. However, there is still one little problem, Marvel's The Avengers, which, also coming in 3D, is just entering its third week of theatrical run. The Avengers smashed about 120M yuan(more accurate numbers available later today) last week with a cume of 450M yuan, according to recent reports. And it should still be able to do huge business this week, though a typical 50% weekly drop is expected with the arrival of MIB3. The same weekend of last year, POTC4 opened to about 145M, which is still the 3 days opening record in China. So does MIB3 have any chance of besting that ? The aneswer is yes we think. We first predicted 70M for the Will Smith movie a few days back when making the May forecast, and now with the reviews overall positive pulling in, we have no reason not to insist on that. So if it really did open to around 150M yuan. And with nearly no major competition until Madagascar 3 (June 8th), solid legs can be expected. Thus, a total of about 80M at the end of its run sounds reasonable.

    So here is my final weekly(5.21~5.27) top 5 prediction:

    1. Men in Black 3 150M yuan ($23.7M) New total: 150M yuan ($23.7M)

    2. Marvel's The Avengers 60M yuan -50% ($9.5M) total: 510M yuan ($80.8M)

    3. The Three Musketeers 7.5M yuan -70% ($1.18M) total: 32.5M yuan ($5.15M)

    4. The Grey 9.6M yuan -40% ($1.5M) total: 25.6M yuan ($4.05M)

    5. Titanic 3D 4.0M yuan -60% ($0.63M) total: 975M yuan ($154.5M)

    Your prediction of MIB3 is quite close to mine
  5. No.SM3 in 2007, 150M+ yuan, yearly #2, right behind TF1, plus breaking the opening record.IM2 in 2010, 170M yuan, yearly #10.Now look, TA in 2012, 500M yuan, could barely get in the yearly top 10.TASM in 2012, could match TA's total in 7 days, without TF, will be the yearly #1 movie at box office.

    I don't think TASM has any chance of getting close to TF3's record even with the expansion of China's movie market. It's more than an arithmetic problem when you predict its boxoffice. TASM will get not more than $120m in China. Mark my words!
