    Yeah but so did those two movies. Competing against each other sure, but there's Matrix opening on Boxing Day too.

    Not sure if Bond had any previews tbh, as far as I know its first sessions started yesterday.
  4. lab276
    On the contrary, I think Bond will be the biggest film of the year. And why 60m for NWH? I'd say that's wildly optimistic. That would be more than pre-pandemic Rise of Skywalker and Jumanji 2.

    Last time was 2010. There's a pattern for how the calendar repeats, but it's extremely nerdy.

    I really hope they avoid lockdowns. I thought they were an embarrassment in Australia this far into the pandemic. To have one now in Germany at 65%+ vaxxed...

    Here's how the Spider-Man films have done in Australia till now: Spider-Man 30.8m Spider-Man 2 24.4m Spider-Man 3 24m Amazing Spider-Man 17.4m Amazing Spider-Man 2 16.1m Homecoming 25.7m Into the Spider-Verse 13.7m Far From Home 37.3m And here are the biggest similar demographic movies of the Pandemic Era: Godzilla vs Kong 27.9m WW84 24.9m Fast 9 21.1m Shang Chi 16.5m (and counting) Black Widow 13.3m Bearing in mind that unlike other places, we're about to get a slew of blockbuster movies that may deflate expectations for Spider-Man a bit (Eternals, Bond, Venom and Dune before, and Matrix after). It's yet to be seen if the market will expand like it has in the past, or if these movies will eat into each other. In other countries Bond, Venom and Dune are weeks in the past, and Eternals has only just released, so Spider-Man will stand alone more clearly as the big Christmas release. I'd say honestly anything over 15-20m should be considered a success.

    I wouldn’t expect more than $1m. Foreign movies don’t usually break out of the target ethnic group (if that’s a politically correct enough term). The biggest foreign language films that I can think of that did break out to some extent in recent years are Intouchables and Demon Slayer.

    This thread has been here since day one of the forum!!!

    I wouldn't expect anything to make it to the billion mark, the box office isn't coming back that quickly.

    I wonder if this is a unique case for the delayed films of 2020, it had its premiere, and then was locked away and no one was allowed to watch it for more than a year before being given a theatrical release.
  12. lab276
    Means about 6.7m AUD. Black Widow opened to 6.1m, but that was with Sydney under lockdown. WW84 opened to 5.2m.

    This is bullshit imo, if Netflix movies are released theatrically then they should have their gross reported like all other films. I guess this is why The Harder They Fall didn’t have any box office recorded in Australia. It’s like how Tesla doesn’t report its car sales like all other manufacturers. These new tech sort of companies think that they’re above transparency and I totally disagree with that. The old guard companies would love to be as opaque, and they shouldn’t be given any ideas!

    The critical reception to this, compared to any other Marvel movie, is completely baffling to me.
  16. lab276
    At the sessions I checked it was doing pretty well, quite a few Gold Class sellouts and smaller screens selling out. Hoyts I can't access on Chrome for some reason, but before it crashed on me, every session at Wetherill Park was "selling fast". No idea what this means for numbers though. Generally seemed to be doing well in Western Sydney though, I think having a more diverse cast and Chloe Zhao directing has had a positive impact.

    It’s updated on Friday and includes Thursdays. You can see The Last Duel at 2.03m, but at the end of the week had made 1.99m, which means it made ~40k on Thursday.
  18. lab276
    1.58m for Previews + Thursday for Eternals.

    It’s a public holiday in Victoria. In NSW I think it depends on the workplace, in mine it’s a day we can have off at any time within the month. I worked Tuesday for example, but I’m taking Friday off.

    Tentpoles to the end of the year: Nov 4 Eternals Nov 11 No Time To Die Nov 25 Venom 2 Dec 2 Dune Dec 16 Spider Man Again Dec 26 Matrix 4 (and others) Not a bad list really, they really should all be aiming for a minimum of 15m. Hoping at least one of them (Bond) just totally smashes it and breaks 40m. Godzilla v Kong is still the post pandemic leader with 27.87m, which feels like an age ago already honestly.
  22. lab276
    How will Eternals open? The reviews have been disappointing, but since when has that stopped anyone from seeing a film? Surely anything >5m can be considered a success.
  23. lab276
    Pretty good for The Last Duel! I know it's a bit of an illusion because Melbourne has now opened up again, but it's up to 1.78m, and hopefully might leg it's way to 3m.
  24. lab276
    One year on... I'd estimate we're at 29.9m admissions, so we're already past last year's total with two months and the biggest movie of the year to go.

    I liked WW84 just fine, and most people thought that was pretty bad too.
