    The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Record opening in Philippines and India, stabilizing elsewhere

    in International Box Office

    This is very interesting.  Maybe the so called inevitable international increase won't happen.

     

    It certainly won't in Korea and Japan isn't likely either, or if it does increase it will be very small. The competition there at the moment is the biggest in 4 years. 

    China should increase but judging from the mixed reactions it's been getting it might not be as big as everyone expects. 

    Hopefully some Latin American countries will break out.

    Very surprising. That Wed/Thur is lower than Cap 2 (which opened against Noah's 2nd week) and the Thur # is even lower than Thor 2.  What kind of upcoming competition in SK does ASM2 have?

     

    It has zero competition right now. It is being screened in almost half of the total screens and the movie that came in 2nd only has 8000 admissions. Seat saturation being at 10.8% pretty sums it up.

    Cant wait for that thursday number for spidey. But wtf whent wrong. It had bigger presales than the first..

    I guess TASM1 could have had better walk up businessWhatever the reason presales are falling behind nowCurrent presales: 128,891 (62%)TASM1 the same day: 179,799 (71.4%)

    TASM2 had to open big to stand a chance of increasing over the first. 2 very anticipated local films are opening next week. There's no TDKR true and it should do well up to the one week holiday at the beginnning of may but the week after Godzilla and another semi-anticipated local film gets released. Good chance this will have unspectacular legs.

    Thanks Rsyu.That's a shame about Fatal Encounter. Though I'm looking forward to it still.The ferry incident is really sad to see, it's always hard to witness a nation in mourning.

     

    If it helps, Hyun-bin's acting was praised quite a lot. I think the main problem people had with it was that they tried to put in too much, character development, plot etc so it took away some of the tension from the film. I'll get back to you with my thoughts after I've seen it :)

    One thing I've been wonder but always forgot to ask, does SK has something like RT where critics see and rate the movie in advance?The Fatal Encounter is next week? I thought it wouldn't come for another 2 weeks.

     

    There isn't a rating website as far as I know. They sometimes write columns about their impressions and thoughts though. A lot of the responses I've read for TASM2 and the fatal encounter was very mixed. Fatal encounter is released next week 4/30

     

     

    It's rare to say that but South Korea clealy disappoints here...

     

    It has been a disappointing month in general. The ferry disaster has put people off entertainment in general. A lot of the pre-release advertising and press conference etc was cancelled so there wasn't really any buzz to this.
