    Frozen OS thread

    in International Box Office

    Yeah no need for the name calling mate, while this is indeed a box office forum, people primarily join this site because of their love of movies. That's the main catalyst for posting numbers everyday, and following updates. We're happy for the success the film has because we feel it's our own success too. Not saying what you're doing isn't cool either mfantin, it's just surprising to see someone summoning up so much enthusiasm and effort for a movie they're apparently indifferent over. 

    But I can see it from your point of view too, crunching BO numbers can be really fun and for someone in your profession (stock trade I believe?) I guess it will be doubly so. Just pointing out people follow box office runs for different reasons and numbers isn't the only reason :)

    Is Cap2 still on course for 4M admissions?

     

    Still two more weeks until TASM2 comes out. Hopefully it can withstand the barrage of new releases tomorrow

    At this point TWS has amassed 2.74M admissions compared to TDW's 2.15M admissions. Thor managed 0.88m admissions after that. Having a thor type run from this point on would give  TWS 3.62M admissions. However I suspect TWS will be stronger during the weekends and if it can manage better week to week drops then 4m admissions is still doable.

    I enjoy tracking BO. I dont watch cartoons. Lol. Seriously.When I was 12, the target audience for star wars in 77, I fell asleep in the theater, havent watched another since. But tracked the BO in the newspaper every week. musicals? Only liked sound of music. Didnt watch les mis or chicago. I watched 20 minutes LOTR1 and returned dvd. Scifi, fantasy, musicals not my thing. I only watch creation stories for comic book movies. First superman, batman etc..Shawshank redemption, goodwill hunting, seven years in tibet, silver linings playbook, the fighter are my favorite type films.I watch lawrence of arabia, the godfather and jaws about every 5 years. Jaws got me into tracking bo when I was 10. Line around the block every weekend for months.Bugs bunny rules! The only toons I watched as a kid.

    First. 75 is 100% off. Thats zero% correct. In prediction % proximity is commonly used. Those that mentioned S.A. were talking US dollard. 150 is the floor. 200 is looking likely. 30m away or just 15%.if you thought an army approaching your flank was 75k, and 150k was there, you just got annihilated. If you thought 120k was very likely after revising estimates on your other flank and its 200k, your all dead, your women raped and children sold into slavery :PI'd rather be crazy than dead.

     

    My question to you, I only ever see you talk numbers about frozen. Have you watched it? did you enjoy it as a movie??

    Data is from Kofic (Korean film council) and is only available from the year 2013 Onwards. The above chart is based on data from January 2013 to January 2014. It'll be interesting to see which will be the first film to achieve 1 million downloads.

    The Fatal Encounter is a great opponent for TASM2 IMO. While I'm not expecting Miss Granny numbers, I'll be disappointed if it doesn't hit 5m admissions.Me too. But first I want Broken (방황하는 칼날) to be a decent hit at least. It looks good and Jung Jae Yeong deserves another hit.

    While miss granny was pretty much a surprise hit there's quite a bit of hype building around this. If WoM spreads for it like it did for miss granny I can see this killing TASM similar to how TWS killed noah on its second week, especially since demand for Hollywood blockbusters could be sated by then.I think 3m admissions should be the aim for broken, possibly higher. Jung Jae Yeong is also starring in fatal encounter so it could be a good month for him :P

    The fatal encounter is already in top10 of presales (2.8% share) with over 24 days left till release (april 30th)

    It's set up to do very well. Hopefully it can do a miss.granny type of run or even better :)

     

    I'm hoping this brings about some recovery for local movies.

    During the first quarter, local movies experienced a 4-year low in the SK box office

     

    Admissions percentage for Local films fell below 50% (48.9%) for the first time in since 2010.

     

    Consistently good to great performances by Hollywood films such as Frozen, Non-stop as well as recent releases Noah and CA:TWS against the generally poor performances of local films (a few exceptions such as miss granny & the attorney) has led the majority of movie goers to pick Hollywood films over local ones. 

     

    This is a sharp contrast to the year on year rise of local movie percentage that South Korea's box office has experienced in recent years. Since local films recorded a 51.9% share in 2011, it increased the following year to 58.8% and managed a record breaking 59.7% in 2013. The share for local films this time last year was a huge 69.2% 

     

    Factor in the fact that hollywood films have steeper ticket prices compared to korean local films due to 3D and 4DX formats and the difference in gross increases further. 

     

    With further popular hollywood films such as TASM2, godzilla & TF4 lined up the good times are expected to roll on for hollywood in South Korea.
