  2. Can it double that today. With rave reviews I am hoping for huge walk ins. 200K+ OD.

     

    Possible but it's difficult. No foreign release has broken 200K+ OD in 2014. TASM2 came closest with 190K and even then it was up against zero competition. I think it'll be somewhere between 150K-200K OD and 1M-1.2M for the weekend (fri-sun)

  4. X-men: days of future past is released early and available to watch starting this evening. 20th century fox Korea reports that with the positive reaction from audiences and critics alike, they decided to start showings on the evening of the 21st as a kind of event.

  5. Top Hollywood Franchises/Films in South Korea

    Posted Image

     

    Data prior to 2000 is impossible to get so some popular series/franchises such as star wars, terminator and James aren't on the list.
    Marvel heads the list and the gap is only expected to increase as they already have plans for sequels in the years to come. Avengers: Age of Ultron alone will add another 10m+ admissions when it lands next year:)
    Transformers is almost certain to pass the harry potter series as the 2nd most popular franchise this summer. What's particularly impressive about transformers is the average per film which is far ahead of any other franchises. 
    Mission impossible is pretty high in the rankings too with decent average, a testament to the wild popularity of Tom Cruz in Korea.
    Shrek is the most successful animation franchise in Korea, but that isn't saying much as it isn't all that far ahead of the 2 Kung-fu panda movies and Frozen.
    Some franchises such as X-men and Twilight make the list through sheer number of releases though, as you can see from the average, each individual film did pretty poorly.

  6. so to defeat SA Frozen has to make good use of summer - like Olaf singsif the Disney associates are really set to break the record (why not?), they could start advertizing campaings with selling cheap ice cream during the hot summer month to draw children into a frosty world

    They already did something similar in south korea. A particular brand of ice cream saw record sales just from changing the wrapper to show elsa & anna.

  8. X-men past releases

    Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

    Gross (admissions): Title

    $5.1M (N/A): X-men (2000)

    $7.36M (N/A): X2: (2003)

    $12.4M (1.79M): X-men: the last stand (2006)

    $18M (2.53M): X-men: First Class (2011)

    $6.6M (1.28M): X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

    $6.9M (1.08M): The Wolverine (2013)

    Nothing really stands out enough to brag about. The peak of the X-men franchise in Korea was First Class so DoFP being a direct sequel to that should be a considered a plus. If it can add to the original fanbase, 3M plus admissions is within the realms of reason. For now though I don't think it's in the Spider-man, CA2 territory. A lot depends on the actual quality of the film and the Word of mouth it generates. Surprisingly the wolverine series did close to bomb numbers in Korea despite being released after the X-men franchise was firmly established. Hugh Jackman is one of the most recognized and popular Hollywood actors in Korea so it's probably more to do with Korean people not liking the films itself rather than disliking the lead actor.

    X-men: the first class was released during a similar time of year and being a direct prequel, makes the most sense for DoFP to track against it. First class week-to-week breaks admissions down like this:

    wk1: 767,779

    wk2: 781,930 (+02%)

    wk3: 414,201 (-47%)

    wk4: 374,969 (-9.4%)

    wk5: 123,563 (-67%)

    wk6: 57,197 (-54.7%)

    total: 2,534,977

    DoFP has the added complication of facing competition from the World Cup which is hugely popular here, but it should be able to do the majority of it's business before it opens.
