Cosmonaut

Ender's Game will take them Oct. 31. Thor, probably, only after wide release. And Stalingrad will be fine anyway.

That's actually better for CF performance too: gap between two big releases increased, and, since Thor coming out basically week early, it shouldn't lead the week before CF, but this battle will be tight: Last Vegas, Three Musketeers(local) and Carrie. Also, 4th of Nov is a holiday, so it'll be a five-day weekend(31-4, Thor preview from 1), i think Thor gonna do at least 10m in preview(1-6 Nov)

Too early, but i'll say 400m.

Well, winter is finally coming. By the end of the month there will be glazed frost all over the streets and we'll have to slide until april. Cloudy 2 probably won't even hit 15m mark in total. Stalingrad still have a chance to win a battle with "Gorko!".

13,5m, and i already said why it can do better than Thor + to that: IMAX screens until Hobbit, that's 4 weeks vs 2(Thor), nobody knew about Hunger Games in Russia when they came out, today - everyone knows(it beats "Avengers effect", that situation applies to many markets, HG overseas was a "dark horse", today it's a 100% hit), and, actually, competition was stronger back then. So, game change, Thor will have wide(as always) preview starting November 1st, probably not in IMAX though, because of the Ender's Game(RIP)...

Looking at "Twilight" numbers in Russia, i think CF can go up to 40m, and last part may earn more than 60m, because unlike "Twilight" it attracts more audience and better quality wise.

Only 2 people srsly think that it'll do a billion, really? On many markets result will be 2, or even 3, times better, so ~600 indeed.

Tha'ts kinda odd, i mean, there is no tracking? Can't find daily, only weekly, with screening numbers. Well, thx anyway)

This is very useful info. Who is holding screen record right now, can you post number of screens for every movie? Maybe a link...

Lol, Rush has 1541 copies: http://www.kinometro.ru/box/show/region/ru/lang/en Despicable Me 2 will hit 35m mark this weekend.

http://www.imax.com.au/ CF tickets selling much better than Thor's, lol.

Well, Stalingrad is likely to lead this weekend too. We'll gonna have to wait till October 31 for the next leader - Ender's Game(gonna take those LieMAX screens).

Sonic, just referring back to our Hobbit conversation, BO doesn't expect increase in US either: http://www.boxoffice.com/featured_stories/2013-10-long-range-forecast-the-hobbit-the-desolation-of-smaug-a-madea-christmas And CF is likely to lead 3 weeks, like in US, less certainty, but still more than Thor(2 weeks, because of the CF), so Thor may actually gross less than CF, although statistical possibility(gross of the first parts) is not on CF side.

Saw it today, yep, movie is great. Should do at least 3m in total. 527k OD. Min 5m in total.

Yea, they are the best, simply the best, it's a pity that vast majority of the Non-Soviet people didn't saw them.

Very much, you see everything in action scenes, adaptation to such fast fps is quick, all complaints were subjective, objectively it is a better format, besides, movie was shot in 48 fps, so it's the only right way to see it. I wish more movies was shot in HFR.Sadly, there is only fake hfr trailers for Hobbit, they look much worse than the actual movie.

How is it a lie if it is standart winter weather in Russia?) WW maybe higher, but not here, WW do not simply apply to Russia, there is no localized version of the last trailer yet, and overall reactions are quite mixed... And what "bigger numbers"? How bigger can they be? +20% tops.

$43.85m to be exact, and actually there was an excitment(), weather was normal, doubt it'll be any higher this year)) Some say that "excitment" is actually lower, because not everybody was pleased with the first, but i think many will come again just to see all 3 parts in cinema(must watch of the year), i personally will go just to see movie in HFR for the second time)) It's hard to say who's gonna suffer(more like nobody, everybody will get their profit) ), but it's clear that Hobbit will lead only 1 week(like the first one did). Well, 30m by Sunday and 40m is locked, so at least 50m total(Ukraine and China). Weekend when copies don't talk, i'll be surprise if Rush wins(2nd spot after Stalingrad).

There is 2 local biggies coming next week after Hobbit, both aims for ~30m$, and even more is coming Jan. 1, so it's gonna be legendary hard for him to even earn a 50m$, probably stays at 45m$. 1.5k

opposite is more likely...

Big day today: Yandex buys KinoPoisk(MovieSearch)

It's out 12 December with "12 Years a Slave", of cource it's going to win the weekend but, probably, not going to last. "Hobbit" coming out next week with "Walking with Dinosaurs 3D", plus if "American Hustle" comes out too, there will be just no place for it, and it looks like a bit of rip off from russian(/not only) characters, theme and from previous movie "Tangled". So 30m is probably a bit optimistic, but 20m is a sure thing. It's better to wait and see how calendar turns out, because now it's incomplete for December.

"Stalingrad" should do min. 4m in Mon-Wed + min 8m in 2nd week-end(lead) = 28m at least by the 20th, so total can be close to 40m, but 49.9m of "Irony of Fate" is far off. PR of "Cloudy 2" is already started, so it should win week-end of October 24-27, first movie did only 8.6m in total, so it'll be a surprise if OW will be bigger than 8m, and total - ~20m. And "Gravity" can make it to 20m.

Good looking...
