[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

So they expect to take all that time and effort and resources to make a movie so it can barely break even way down the track? Sony didn't set out making MIB3 in the hope that it would make 180M domestically.

I'm sure people much smarter than us at Sony new it was very likely to finish beneath MIB/MIB2 especially 10 years after the last film which is never a winning formula, it will make money for the studio.

[Prometheus OS thread]

It is a damn good opening, SW opened in twice as many territories to 39m only 4m above Prometheus, it is well on its way to a 300m+ OS total.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

Good number for MIB, SW and TA. Overall a good weekend.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

^ The only official figure we have is 215m, I would take that number, marketing is probably 100m WW and that is covered by DVD etc, only needs 430M WW to make back its money, should finish well over 500m WW.Not bad.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

20.24 weekend for TA

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

FC did have some rush factor, if it wasn't so well received I would say it would have fallen harder on 2nd weekend, something like 60%, I think SW can hold better, maybe low 50%. FC also faced direct competition in GL, SW has a brighter outlook going into the 2nd weekend.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

Pretty good for SW, hoping it can reach 150m.

AFL, greatest sport in the world.

[Snow White and the Huntsman OS Thread]

That should be hopefully be good for a sequel; and also to encourage a greenlight for similar projects (Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Pied Piper and Pinocchio are some of the ones kicking around right now).

The only chance I can see of a sequel happening is if Universal think the first film has done enough to warrant a sequel not decreasing domestically or OS with 3D. If it isn't in 3D we won't get a sequel IMO, either way why invest 200m in a film you know won't give you returns for year, are those small returns even worth risking that much money? I doubt they go through with it, would be as stupid as the new GI Joe.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

I'm going to take Nikkis numbers with a bit of hesitation, at least we know SW increased for sure. Maybe 22m is possible.

[Legend of Korra]

I was the same until they introduced the ability to take someones bending away forever. Really upped the stakes.

[Snow White and the Huntsman OS Thread]

It will make around 420m WW max imo.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

5.652 was the correct number as I thought, why would the less exact figure have been the correct one.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

MIB 3 scored $8.1M in 2nd place yesterday and looks to gross $28M in its second tour of duty.

Not a bad number for MIB3, looking at falling in the middle of the 150-200m range. OS also doing well.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

i think SWAT can jump 10% tomorrow

This is what I'm hoping for as well.

[Snow White and the Huntsman OS Thread]

It should make around 60m in the rest of the markets. Won't be enough to pass 300m unless we see huge grosses come from Russia, Japan, Aus (25m)

[Snow White and the Huntsman OS Thread]

I don't think it can pass Thor's 270m OS, 250m would be good.

NIKKI: My sources say that overseas Snow White opened in 45 territories and was especially strong in Latin America and Asia. It will gross $39.3M this weekend, which is on a par with The Hunger Games’ $38M and better than Twilight‘s $30M, for a $95.1M worldwide cume. Snow White still has 18 territories to go including big-ticket Australia, Russia, and Japan. Insders now expect the movie’s global cume to earn $250M-$275M all-in with this nearly $100M result. “We’ll make money with the movie which we really care about. No one can rag us this week,” a Uni exec said to me this morning.

Well I guess I was right about this one, looks to have solid OS numbers but not enough to push it past a 300M OS total.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

I'm just confused at this point. Hoping TA is over 6 and SW is over 21

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

It has to be 5.652m, 6.3m doesn't equate to 538m

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

Will need to increase close to 10% tomorrow if it is going to reach 60m.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

Just normal for MIB3, headed towards the stock standard 3 multi.

[Wrath of the Titans OS thread (209M total)]

218m is a terrible OS total for this, it halved it's domestic performance and OS decreased about a third of the first. Well deserved, the first was a horrendous film and I was looking forward to it so much before release. I'm glad people turned there backs on this one.We won't see another film.Only saving face is it doubled it's production budget which was still reasonable after the first's success. Sometimes studios give to much leeway with the budget of a sequel to a successful first film. WB have there budgets in control usually.

[G.I. Joe: Retaliation OS Thread]

I wonder how much of an affect having 3D will actually have OS, some markets will embrace it, especially with The Rock in it.The first grossed 150m, I would say this can make 200m without 3D and 230-250m with 3D. Either way OS can't save this one.

[Fri: SW 20.3m; MIB 8.3m; TA 5.65m/Sat DHD: SW 21.5m; MIB 12m; TA 9m]

Yep, 600m is basically assured for TA.
