[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey OS Thread: OVER 1B WW!]

What I meant is FOTR had more admissions in UK than ROTK. It's not necessary a wide epic movie to get incredible grosses. I don't know what has been the inflation in the last 10 years, but asuming a 20% (2% per year), the 3 LOTR movies would adjust to about 70-75 million pounds (without 3D). With 3D (adding another 15%) it would be around 80 million pounds each. I know it's difficult TH can reach that (different times with a logical drop in attendance), but the potential is enormous.

Yes indeed. I said it should do at LEAST £60M with 3D and coming off the epic LOTR trilogy. And it could go higher to £70M/£80M depending on WOM.

[UK Box Office Thread]

Inbetweeners numbers are very unlikely but I think £5m five day opening is doable.

That would be a great opening.Considering The Hangover only opened with £3.2M in 2009.

[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey OS Thread: OVER 1B WW!]

If we take the first film, the number would be better . FOTR, the less epic, is the highest grosser of the trilogy, with 62.7 million Pounds, while ROTK did 60.8 (TTT did 57.6 million)

Yes in £ it is but was thinking in $. The exchange rate really changes the grosses for the LOTR trilogy in the UK.It should do at least £60M then especially with 3D.

[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey OS Thread: OVER 1B WW!]

I asume it will be hard, but I think it's possible. What are you expecting in UK for TH1? I was thinking in 115-125. I'm seeing Pound has dropped a 3-4% since July 2011 (DH2 release), and about a 12% since ROTK release. ROTK grossed 106 million. With the new exchange it would have been about 93 million. Then we should add inflation (15%? 20%?) and 3D (again, 15%? 20%?), and substract a logical drop in attendance from what LOTR did. I think it's reachable.

I was thinking more conservative, around $100M gross in the UK as it is the first film and not like ROTK which was the epic finale to a loved trilogy.It will be clearer closer to release, seems so far off now.

[China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30]

IA4, 130M yuan, $20.63M, with 3100292 admissions via 68788 shows. Almost $5M higher than FOX's Sunday report. This is more like it.

That is a great actuals increase! How high is IA4 going now?

[The International Box Office Discussion Thread]

yes you can see it better below links, just estimatescurrent weekendhttp://www.rentrak.c..._10_charts.htmlhistoricalhttp://investor.rent...kly Charts=

Wow, thanks Rth!

[UK Box Office Thread]

I thought it would open on Friday.

Ted opens tomorrow here in the UK. Sometimes films open on the Wednesday but you are right that Friday is the normal day for new releases.I feel Ted will be huge too (like in Australia) but not sure it can match the Inbetweeners as it is not British.

[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey OS Thread: OVER 1B WW!]

Looking the foreign grosses DH2 did, the only big markets I see DH2 can beat TH are France, Japan (both barely) and Asian southeast countries like Hong Kong, Malaysia or Singapore. Sincerely, the other grosses are beatable

DH2 will be tough to beat in the UK. Would be great to see The Hobbit top it.

[UK Box Office Thread]

That's great for TDKR! With holidays for a month it should definitely reach £50m and possibly beat TA.

I hope so! I have already contributed twice to the TDKR gross and possibly more times! Every little helps.

Just checked TDK's gross and it was only £48.7m, but converted to $89m. That exchange rate has gone completely into the shitter over the last 4 years, hasn't it?

It changed a lot even during 2008. TDK beat QoS in dollars, but lost in pounds. It will be the same story with TDKR.

Indeed, TDKR should beat TDK in £ but won't get close in $ due to exchange rate changes since 2008.However, the Yen-$ exchange rate has improved since 2008 so worldwide it probably balances out amongst other currencies and exchange rates.

[7.27-29 Weekend Actuals: TDKR $62,101,451 TED 7.35M]

Damn TDKR dropped. :(At least OS weekend actuals increased to make up for it!

[The Dark Knight Rises OS Discussion Thread/700M+ OS CLUB]

A very tidy little increase there, nice!Makes up for USA weekend actual decreasing...

[UK Box Office Thread]

It was a -49% drop which is very good considering weather and Olympics!TDKR up to £30.7m ($47.9m) now which is great!

[The Avengers vs. The Amazing Spider-Man vs. DKR]

TDKR for sure, just an epic finale to a wondeful trilogy.TDKR 9/10Avengers 8/10TASM 8/10

[Dr Seuss's The Lorax OS thread]

around 5.5M yuan, 900k $...

Wow, that is truly awful.

[Weekend Estimates TDKR 62.84 IA4 13.3 TW 13 SU4 11.8]

I really liked Bane's voice. His delivery of some lines was great!

[Dr Seuss's The Lorax OS thread]

it's less than 1M...

So the actuals for OW went down in China? Ouch!HR and SD said $1.1M for China so was using those figures.

[Madagascar 3 OS Thread]

Biggest OD of all-time for an animation movie here.

$1.1M OW in Portugal is good.

Up to $291.5M OS now, and loads more markets to open this week and up until October.

[Dr Seuss's The Lorax OS thread]

A bomb territory beyond BRAVE that is ...

It really did badly in China. $1.1M OW there = bomb!

Up to:

$110.3M OS.

Might end up with around $125M OS. Perhaps less.

[The International Box Office Discussion Thread]

18.9M is the number to be added but not 21M.

Really, that sucks.Still, IA4 is going to have a mammoth OS total so $2M will not be too badly missed.

[Best Movie Series? Any with 3 or More Movies!]

Lord of the Rings is simply epic!Harry Potter and Star Wars great also.Everyone forgetting Godfather series too as Part I + II are stunning. (Good enough to balance out poor Part III).

[Weekend Estimates TDKR 62.84 IA4 13.3 TW 13 SU4 11.8]

Only 21% drop, not bad. The projected Sunday drop was too optimistic.The Sunday is 83.7% of TDK. If it follows TDK exactly from here on, it will finish with 469M. That is the high end.The Sunday is also 135.6% of DH2. If it follows DH2 exactly from here on, it will finish with 433M. That is the low end.So expecting a finish in 450M region.

$450M finish will be good all things considered! I hope it reaches that and it will pass $1B WW.

[The International Box Office Discussion Thread]

Official estimates just came out, about $18.89M, $3M higher.

around 21M I would say.

That's good. It will all get added into the IA4 OS total anyway so does not matter too much if it was not reported properly in one weekend's total.

[The International Box Office Discussion Thread]

Of course. Should be at least $5M higher.

Why would they not report it? Is it 'should be' $5M or 'is' $5M higher?

Spain box office is crap right now

Spain BO really is awful this year.

[2012: Year of the Bow ?]

You need a bow to shoot and hit high Box-Office grosses this year it seems.

[UK Box Office Thread]

In other news, The Lorax had an okay OW with $3M in the UK (including previews).Cannot see it doing well, with IA4 raking in tons of $$$ as well as Brave releasing soon. Very daft release date for The Lorax...
