  1. Sure $200,000 on a working day just on 20 IMAX screens is a great result. But how great it is hard to tell. Probably weekend gross on those IMAX screens should be close to John Carter. John Carter had a holiday weekend with only one working day. The Avengers will have a working Saturday this week. But on the other hand imax-only previews caused really huge demand.
  2. Also it appears that the Avengers did nearly 200k on IMAX previews.
  3. First Early Thursday estimates.1. Battleship 540,000 (-74%)2. Safe 485,0003. The Babysitters (Rus) 256,0004. Pirates: The Band of Misfits 113,0005. Street Dance 2 102,000Battleship is sinking very fast. Safe is doing pretty good as many previous Statham movies. This weekend multiplyers will be tricky but 7day gross should be huge. Rather poor start for Pirates and particularly Street Dance 2 but the holidays will obviously help them.
  4. No, it's for Russia only. Monthly subscription cost 300 RUB - slightly less than 10USD. They are trying to get more clients by making movies available very fast. Like just a month after theatrical release. Or even simultaneously like this time.In Ukraine it might be released with voice over or in some cities with russian dubbing. It's not legal thanks to this idiotic law but some theaters sometimes do that. Only with small independent releases though.
  5. Very mixed reports from first day in Russia. Nearly sold out shows in some theaters and well below average in others. Also very bad time for shows in many theaters, particularly in regions. I failed to notice also that the movie is also available simultaneously on a paid Russian streaming service.
  6. Thursday or Friday I will probably have some additional info. Like final screens count and number of shows in major theater chains compared to other wide releases. Piracy was definitely a major issue but it also created terrific world of mouth. So you can't blame everything on that.The movie was picked by a local independent distributor and they definitely failed.They had less than two months before the release and totally wasted most of that so precious time. It happens too often here with relatively small releases. You can't afford massive advertising on prime TV-channels but without it our distributors have no clue what to do most of the time. Still the movie don't even started yet. It might be not that bad and holidays right ahead will help a bit everyone.
  7. Right now it is #6 by grades and #3 by popularity. The page on kinopoisk has 816k views. Not far from Battleship for example. 7 times more than Les Infideles.
  8. Exactly. Some have already seen it. And the majoruty will never know about it.
  9. People downloaded it on-line. And the general awareness besides the internet crowd is still quite low. Really low. Our distributor failed to carry a message to regular people.Fighting piracy here is like fighting against windmills. No one wants to listen and nearly everyone believe it is ok. This is really contagious. What is more when I buy something on Amazon some of them certainly believe that I'm an idiot. Why anyone should pay if you can easily get it for free???
  10. They are ordered by the government for all public workers and recommended for private comanies. It's a very common practice to make a better use for holidays. So three Saturdays in a row will be working days. But Monday April, 30 will be a holiday instead and russians will get three days out of work Sunday-Monday-Tuesday instead of Saturday-Sunday-Tuesday.Next week will be the same. Saturday, May, 5 and Saturday, May, 12, are working days for Monday and Tuesday, May 7 and 8. And four days from May 6 to May 9 will be holidays.
  11. Another deflated weekend with working Saturday by the way.
  12. Weekend prediction from kinometro. http://kinometro.ru/blog/2012/04/prognoz-uikend-sng-17-26-29-aprelya/Poor Intouchables.
  13. 25-3o mln would be ok, 30-35 mln would be prettry good, anything above what will be just insane. The most recent of them is Captain America last sammer. $8.6 mln total.
  14. Even this will require a big miracle. John Carter opened with the all-time biggest opening day on another national holiday March, 8. People had three days free of work instead of one this time. But after that Monday and Tuesday should be really HUGE. These two days will definitely bring more than entire 4day weekend.
  15. I would say it is totally impossible for The Avengers. I already said that Saturday, May, 5, is a working day in Russia. So the opening weekend will be surely deflated. But then Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are national holidays. It needs to gross as much as it can in those four days Sunday till Wednesday. After the holidays everything will drop like a stone no matter what. And a week after that new strong releases will smash everything.
  16. You already put top 25 in the first post. Battleship landed between Clash of the Titans and Fast Five. Quite a strong company.
  17. Battleship by the way had 22nd all-time opening and the 2nd best after 2012 for non-sequels in 2D.
  18. French animated TV-series was rather popular a few years ago. One of the main tv-channels showed it for a while. Besides it's just light-hearted positive and funny adventure movie. People will definitely like it. You just need a moderate advertising to carry the message.
  19. First Spider-Man film was liked by many here. The second...well not so much. The general opinion was that the third sucked. People also don't get the whole "reboot" thing. Who needs it? And all those numerous villains from comic books mostly make no sense here.
  20. Spider-Man grossed strong $3.53 mln in Russia but no one cared whether it was based on a comic book or not. It wasn't even a superhero movie here. Just somewhere between usuually popular sci-fi and fantasy.
  21. Last year Russian film market had around 0.11 ratio to USThis year it could be 0.13-0.14
  22. Nutcracker 3D grossed 13 mln in Russia and only 200k in US. There is no point to compare limited releases and wide and besides it was a film with russian director and made for russian money.
  23. 1st place 381,679 2nd weekend in Poland (-13%) 1,082,425 total2nd place 515,136 5th weekend in The Netherlands (+13%) 2,801,190 total
  24. With so many holidays and wide releases (13 or 14 in 2 weeks) it is really hard to predict anything by now.
  25. Battleship estimated gross is 330.3 mln RUB. That would be Universal best opening slightly ahead of Fast Five. See the top25 chart in RUB. We also had the other kind of record. Local comedy Voin.com grossed $8475 on 105 screens Thursday to Sunday. That's $81 per screen for the entire weekend.
