OS weekend actual down by around $300,000 to $66.7M for the weekend. Not down by much but still over-estimated.Still, $1B WW looks locked.
-
It says on IMDB Taken's 15, but I've seen it rated 18 too...
15 or 18...still a big step up from a 12A and Taken 2 will be at least a 15 I hope.I think the uncut version of Taken is 18, I guess the cinema release was a 15.
-
BOM is probably wrong then, still China loves IA4 and it is doing great! Hope it gets $70M+ there.That doesnt make any sense. The latest update for IA4 in China is $44.44M. Last week (7 days) is about 24M, up 16% compared with first 3 days week ($20.6). For weekend-to-weekend drop, it is 13M/20.6M, about 37%.http://forums.boxoff.../page__st__2480

TDKR has had 2 over-estimated weekends in a row now if reported actuals are true, you would think they would learn. You want to increase from estimates not decrease...
-
Try local newspapers and magazines then expand from there.I write for my university paper doing film reviews...etc.
-
Taken 2 should definitely be a 15 at least if it wants to be as good and popular as the first one and build on its success. 12A would be awful for a film like that, from an 18 --> 12A...

Some solid numbers there, UK Box-Office of Summer 2012 is big and will get bigger next week!Going to be mad with Brave, Expendables 2 and Bourne Legacy all releasing in the same week with TDKR and Ted still lurking. I don't think 1 film will do big OW numbers because there is so much competition for screens and audiences.1 Ted £9,333,700 £9,333,7002 The Dark Knight Rises £4,290,605 £40,846,9133 Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days £1,537,178 £1,537,1784 Ice Age: Continental Drift £1,213,388 £24,671,6035 Dr. Seuss' The Lorax £856,003 £4,648,4236 Brave £820,084 £820,084

Solid weekend for TDKR, looks on track still for $450M+ gross.

Chinese release dates are mad.

Thanks, interesting and confusing.$ grosses for UK grosses will never be fully accurate it seems so £ grosses are more reliable.without going to far into it, its a total mishmash and yes I haven't looked at it closly in a while but when I was BOM coversions were bad.Internally studios/distributors generally convert based on a intercompany weighted average exchange rate for each financial month(so if a film plays jul/aug/sep it will have calculations based on three rates), when they give all the INTL numbers in $us its converted from $lc using the intercompany rate, now various sites may convert those numbers in $us to $lc but it may not match the $lc depending on how they chose to do it (some use the latest daily rate even on cume figures)now when each territory releases they weekend/week official top 10/20/50 etc its released in $lc from the various territories, then sites convert to $us(once again varies)so if hyperthetically if you looked at say TDKR in UK and say you look at what BOM has under its INTL total and you look at what they have it listed as in GBP then you go to say the weekend actuals report which is given in GDP(there maybe some territories where the data is given as $us) and look at TDKR that total may/may not match what say BOM or others have converted from $us or converted to $us
-
Ted is wild and hard to track, will need to wait a bit to see where it will end up. Though $40M+ seems locked!All films should be racking up nice totals now too as holidays in full flow and Olympics not impacting too much.
-
BOM says IA4 dropped just 11% in China this weekend?
-
TDKR did £4.3M ($6.75M) in its 3rd weekend and now up to £40.9M ($63.9M) already!Saw it today for 3rd time at Vue Westfield and it was still really busy.
-
Great weekend for Ted OS, glad to see it doing well as it deserves it!
-
There should be a standard exchange rate that BO sites should use every week to keep the figures the same.I thought BOM was reliable, will scrutinise their conversions more now.Thanks for the info RTH!it a nutshell it how the two are choosing to convert lc to $us, BOM is (at least in the past) really bad at doing it a lot of their conversion for like all times lists can be so far off in the stratosphere its not funny
-
I guess so, they should the same daily/weekly exchange rate to avoid so much change though.It's probably due to exchange rate fluctuations when numbers are posted...
Which works out around £9.1M OW for us UK folk... which is flippin' amazing!Should hit £30M+ now over the summer.Humongous $14.3m opening for Ted. Incredibly impressive for a film that has to deal with all the Olympics hype at the moment, with no built in audience or 3d. Definitely the opening of the year.
-
Good weekend for IA4, will break $600M OS in a few days then it will get closer and closer to IA3.
-
HR seem to do just as good and factual foreign BO articles as SD except the HR articles are free to read!
-
Why are the UK charts different on SD and BOM, both are showing different grosses? (I always use BOM, but weird to see SD showing different grosses).http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/uk/?yr=2012&wk=30&p=.htmhttp://boxoffice.screendaily.com/countries/9/charts/latest

Yeah, Japan was awful and strange for Pixar but I believe and hope Brave will do well in the UK. £25M - £30M would be great and can happen!Japan was just shocking. Pixar films nearly always doing fantastic business there too, but Brave's gross there has been pathetic.
-
Here are some UK numbers of some Pixar films for comparison (final gross):
TS2 [£44.3M]
Monsters Inc. [£37.9M]
Finding Nemo [£37.4M]
The Incredibles [£32M]
Cars [£16.5M]
Ratatouille [£24.8M]
Wall-E [£22.9M]
Up [£34.6M]
TS3 [£73.9M]
-
Pixar films before Cars mostly broke £30M and since then none apart from Up and TS3; after Cars turned loads of people off Pixar it seems and Cars 2 from last year may affect Brave too.It should definitely do £25M as it supposed to be good (Empire 4**** review, RT 77%) and if it has good WOM and a good summer run, £30M+ seems feasible.And hopefully, as well as good legs, it bucks the poor OS trend and actually does well in one of Pixar's best OS markets.Hmm, I don't know about £30m. Many Pixar films have fallen below that in the UK. £25m would be fantastic, considering how badly its done in a lot of markets.Up had amazing legs though. Hopefully Brave will have a long life.
-
No, it is Pixar so no UK bombing allowed.But the UK gross may be lower than other Pixar films which would be disappointing and a let down.It should really be grossing £30M+ over the summer.Well, it definitely won't bomb.
-
The whole UK box-office has been impressive with it shrugging off the Olympics and still lots of films performing very well!
Intouchables OS - 409.0m!
in International Box Office

OS total now at $355,059,346 and it should hit $375M+ and maybe even $400M+ OS by the end of its run with at least 10 markets opening and they all love it like most markets.
