I don't think that these numbers are bad last weekend thursday was a holiday and many schools were off friday too.This weekend, the was no holiday and There was an important game saturday.And maleficent only fell 50%. That's good.
It's 60% for this film. Paramount taked what TF3 made in this markets and saw they made 60% of T3.Asia love this kind of movie. Then, Ásia makes more for TF than for a drama or other kind of movie.Cause TF4 only opened in three of the 10 big markets.It still has to open in France, Brazil, Mexico, UK, Spain, Italy and Germany.
Aka, You was right.In China people only see one movie.Maleficent was doing great numbers and was killed.They took almost all the screens from a successfull movie.This would never happen in other countries.
Paramount said that it opened in 60% of overseas market.If 60% made 200, 100% would make 333,33 first weekend international.In general, You can project 3 times first weekend, but I think TF4 is front load, then I will go with 2,6 x first weekend. Then 866,65 million overseas.With 260 USA, it'll do, sadly, at least 1,1 billion and will have more awfuls Transformers Movies.
With more than 300 million first weekend (with only 60% of the overseas market), sadly the awful TF5 will do much more than 1 billion worldwide in the end of it's run.
Deadline says 586 million worldwide for Maleficent.Then, around 384 million overseas. If China didn't have killed it taking more than 75% of it's screens (TF5 is the cause), it'll have almost 400 million overseas.
West coast = bad taste?Transformers should'n get 100 million.Awful movies Killing cinema.Some people go one few times a year to cinema. If they see s.h.i.t., they will think cinemas is ...
And what about the holdovers, Spatula?Deadline is saying that some movies are falindo more than 70%.Only adult movies or kids movies (dragon and Maleficent ) too?
362,3 million overseas wednesday. It'll not do much in China, but I think still have more than 380 in the end of this weekend.http://www.screendaily.com/box-office/transformers-4-set-to-crush-rivals/5073593.article?blocktitle=LATEST-FILM-NEWS&contentID=40562
