Box Office Mojo isn't the Gospel. They have full and precise data only from 1982 onwards. They also don't mention the many pre-1989 re-releases of Gone With The Wind. More to the point, the 1981 release is an "expansion" but the 1982 is a re-release?Box Office Mojo doesn't mention them.

It didn't gross that much in its initial release. BOM simply doesn't have enough data before 1982 to list the grosses of the separate releases. They lump everything together before that date, just as they do with Star Wars, whose $307m initial release is actually the combination of four releases (1977, 1978, 1979, 1981).Well, it made 189 od it's 198,5M gross during it's first release in 1939. A 200M grosser 75 years ago is kinda out of this world.

Remember, there are more boys than girls in China.We know Chinese boys do go to the cinemas when Japanese boys mostly don't.

Dear Chinese users, any thoughts about Pompeii? Complete flop or a threat for HTTYD2?

If you're talking about the box office of the 1977 film, given that in its original run adjusted (without rereleases) it grossed less than Titanic adjusted (without rerelease), I would say Titanic does most certainly have something on it. They're both phenomena, mind you.Star Wars was the phenomenon to end all phenomenons, Titanic's run was phenomenal, but even Titanic has nothing on Star Wars.

I was under 10 and I was a male (still am). I went to see it. With my father. Everyone in my elementary class saw Titanic, indeed everyone in my elementary school (yes, boys included). Completely universal appeal if any movie ever had it. It doesn't sound like you were around in 1997/8.I doubt very many kids under the age of 10 cared about Titanic (little boys especially).

As a friendly reminder for those who have Cinderella under $200m:Alice: $334m, number 2 of the year (granted this is exceptional due to 3D ratio)Oz: $234m, number 10 of the yearMaleficent: $236m and counting, number 4 of the year so farPlus, Cinderella has a grand total of 1 children's film in its way before the summer: Home, which doesn't look particularly threatening (Penguins would perhaps have been a different story)

Why is the BOM OS estimate consistently $1-2m lower? Are they forgetting some country?
-
The two franchises have incredibly similar trajectories:First is a surprise and grosses $300m DOMSecond explodes and grosses over $400 DOMThird decreses (Pirates more steeply but no 3D)Fourth is in $240-50m range DOM but does $800m OSThat's almost similar to Pirates 4

Looking at the other G-PG movies this year, other possibilities are Rio 2, Maleficent and Earth to Echo. Don't know if he (or you) will be interested.The only thing I wish is that TMNT was age appropriate for my toddler son. I try to get excited to spend $30 to go see something like Planes 2, and I just can't! And I don't think he'd make it through GOTG without getting scared during some moments.Like, I basically keep thinking what if TMNT was as all-ages family oriented as The LEGO movie had been? Or, if it had been directed by Lord & Miller?

Again a good theatre count hold for HTTYD2 (-38.9% and that's the highest loss so far). I'm surprised it's holding better than Maleficent, given that the latter has consistently beaten it in average theatre gross throughout the week.

Exactly what the Academy loves.According to AW, it is a sanitized bio of Hawkkins life.

I agree that the love story seems unnecessarily prominent but nailing the look is not something to be quickly dismissed. This is going to be a mimetic performance. Which the Academy loves. It's a biopic about a living legend. Which the Academy loves. And it's a man with a very serious disability. Which the Academy loves. As long as he stumbles, falls, crawls, drools and cries in pain, I think Redmayne is in a good position. Plus, I think it helps that the director has already had a series of well-received works and, with his documentaries, has already collected awards (including an Oscar).I'd say the only thing he nailed in that movie was the look. Everything else looks pretty... generic, even if based on a true story. It seems really cheesy. Unless the trailers are VERY misleading, I wouldn't consider this a contender in anything.

This is still grossing $1.3m weekly in Venezuela alone.

So GOTG is crossing $110m after five days. I guess that reputation took another blow:

Highest OW for a non-sequel in 2014. GOTG may well keep the title until the end of the year.

How does HTTYD2 manage to drop on Fridays? That's... impressive.

I think Disney is on her shit list. Wonder why.
http://www.villagevoice.com/2002-03-19/news/who-s-afraid-of-mickey-mouse/which led to Finke v. Disney:http://www.leagle.com/decision/20034382CalRptr3d436_1403in which she was defeated (scroll down).But apparently she hated them even before that.Last month, the New York Post fired entertainment reporter Nikki Finke, shortly after the Walt Disney Company complained about two stories that appeared in the Post under Finke's byline on January 29 [2002].

Has it been posted already that Frozen has now sold 1.8 million copies in Blu-Ray? Sorry if it has:http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-07-29/japan-animation-blu-ray-disc-ranking-july-20-27/.77102

Well if Maleficent gets some help from Guardians, just like Oz having a mysterious +16.7% increase the weekend Iron Man 3 was released...
-
It needs roughly $10m DOM, $20m from Japan and $5m from the rest of the world to make it to $750m. Not impossible, but we'll have to see.

That seems like an impossible increase from existing markets. Did they perhaps decide to include Puerto Rico?
