Seems like the USA Box-office is just plain bad at the moment. Only doing well for the big films...Knew Finding Nemo 3D would get no where near Lion King 3D OW.
Intouchables is a global sensation and doing well in all markets.South Korea made $11M for Intouchables, so hopefully Japan can beat that!I know SK is not a perfect comparison but they are both big Asian markets.
Decided to try and email BOM to get them to update this useful section of the site:http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/weekend/Which had been abandoned since weekend ending June 3rd. And what do ya know, a few hours later... they seem to be adding all the missed OS weekends in (at least 6 weekends so far).
Great, 5 players! May the best man win.With the order most important as exact grosses are very hard to predict spot-on.Let's also hope the weekend ahead has a significant boost over last weekend. It should do as the weather is now in Autumn almost.
Thanks. Didn't know the Japanese BO calendar, now I do. It was released in 2011 but I can see why is counts as 2012 film. Indeed, it is great Avengers is doing so well when it could have relatively flopped hard in Japan with ~$20M.
So last week's players were:
TheDarkAlfred
CJohn
PhilipJ2001
JCS
Tower
Heretic
No one got the order right and I will say it was a narrow victory for CJohn as he predicted Dredd on top correctly and got the closest grosses with PhilipJ2001 and Tower. In a case like this, if you get #1 film right you win.

My predictions for this week (to include previews as usual for UK):
Paranorman £2M
The Sweeney £1.7M
Hope Springs £1.6M
To Rome With Love £1M
Premium Rush £0.5M
Will be much better weekend ahead. I hope.
Here is a full list for the weekend, including below Top 10.http://industry.bfi....-September-2012or Top 20:http://boxoffice.scr...9/charts/latest Indeed, an -85% drop for The Watch!But Keith Lemon... 2nd weekend was -69% drop then this weekend was -79% drop. Absolutely plummeting!
