11 AM: The importance of the international box office for Hollywood has never been more evident than in these weeks leading up to the official May 1st start of the summer movie season. Universal’s 2D Battleship doesn’t open in the U.S. until May 18th but it’s having another strong week at the overseas box office where its month-early debut in 28 international territories and China now bring the film’s total worldwide estimate to $72.2M and close to $100M through Sunday. Pic now opens in 24 territories. Russia opens today and early estimates predict $2.1M for the day (equal to Fast Five‘s opening day). The film released in China Wednesday and grossed an estimated $3 million on its first day for the studio’s best opener in that country (ahead of Fast Five‘s $1.7M first day which was also a Wednesday). http://www.deadline...._medium=twitter

Flopping, I guess.

Okay, I've yet to see one completely positive review on Battleship. But according to many people on Twitter/Facebook/Forums, the movie was quiet good. Nothing as bad as the critics portray it to be. Obviously everyone is making a big deal about the fact that it's based on a board game and is basically Transformers of water....but that doesn't mean it's a TERRIBLE and LACKLUSTER movie. It's certainly not a bore, I imagine. I haven't seen it yet, but for those who have, what do you think?

Why isn't this in 3D? Just wondering. 55m and 58m is basically the same thing if you asked me lol....in the broad scheme of things...it could have been WORSE! :unsure:I just hope Russia and China pull in some big numbers PLEASE GOD...and it does better than expected in the U.S

30m from Russian and China....in best possible situation.....30m from other territories....90m next week. :wub: *dreams*

I will spazz if it racks in 90-100m next week. Let me not get ahead of myself though. Come on BATTLESHIP! May 18th needs to get here ASAP.

What other countries is it opening next week? As of now it's still only 26 right?

Cool...here's to hoping for the best.

Russia?

Predictions for China? Will they be in China next week for some promotion?

Hmmm.....well...... <_<Looking at the long term domestic projections: dropped from 146m to 135m. Come on.

I hope the promotional campaign is even bigger in the U.S. Rihanna will be on SNL on May 5th, so maybe she can squeeze some promo in or maybe some sort of skit pertaining towards Battleship.....but yeah...it would be great if the entire cast could have hosted SNL on May 5th!With immense promotion...this could push Battleship's projected domestic sales to about 200-250m......people hardly know what the movie is about.

When will it be out? I'm new to this and don't know anything at all about how this works.

72 hours is clearly three days.

And I had my hopes up.....all I guess we'll just settle for a decent outcome...nothing terrible and nothing GREAT either......I wanted it to SLAYYYYY though. Critics are trashing this movie every single day...I have yet to read one good review...and I wished Battleship's performance prove them wrong....

What are the final numbers? When will they come in? Was the 58m for Wed to Fri?

So it's not doing that good after all? I wanted 300m+ OS........I NEED MORE!

Hey I was just wondering how Battleship is looking so far WW and in the US (sales wise)
