Mario is weak in East Asia
Too bad for it, will probably keep it from contending against Frozen numbers.

Regardless of actual impact, it's just obnoxious as hell to be announcing digital release date before the opening weekend has even really started. What the hell is the incentive there?

Mario's numbers in Europe and LatAm are a stunner.

"This year the censorship of films in China was more easy because a new mayor of China film association called 毛羽 said that the market should earn about ¥60 billion in 2023 so that foreign films will enter into China more easily."
Market was open with lesser censoring of Content. Not sure from where you are getting that Hollywood Film are decaying because of Censorship.
None of 2023 Imported Titles have good Douban. Except D&D &Suzume - everything was below 7.0. Asking $150M for a poor reception film will look foolish. This isn't US where Critics are neglected. Both Audience &Critics Score must be good for a Successful Run in China.
Since Post Oct 2022, I have more hopes on China after they ease censorship. If things go well they can go back to No.1 Again.
Well, it's too bad that you all just follow Hollywood Numbers because they can cross $1B and other language films has lesser or let's be real, not possible at all. Things haven't ended and I think M.I.7 gonna be promising if not affected by poor reception.
Just to clarify I wasn't suggesting performance of Hollywood films was suffering due to censorship, just that decline of China's relevance to Hollywood at least should have the upside of studios no longer having to walk on eggshells. I do agree it's a shame, but it makes sense tracker interest wouldn't be the same if the explosive results for fanboy properties and other Hollywood titles are no longer there.

Nah, Market won't be getting less attention if you see things outside Hollywood. The Market is still big and have great potential. Just doesn't look going well only for Hollywood Movies Overall for 2023. Other Imported films are doing fine numbers.
There are Japanese/Taiwanese/Cantonese Works that has run successful in Pandemic China. Even, remake of Japanese Film "Hachiko" is doing better numbers &steal shows from others.
From studios and Hollywood BO fans, I mean. Hopefully this will be the final nail in coffin of studios ever trying to pander to CCP censors for increasingly niche returns. It's also quite the turnaround from the promise of pre-Covid days with $150m+ being easy money for so many properties (although I think the general leveling off in expectations was already underway when people were previously expecting it to take #1 market title within a few years).

That's interesting. Will contribute to this market getting less and less attention.

JW2 is the high point of the series so far (seeing 4 on Saturday).

Anyone calculate what the OS weekend total was?
-
Hmm is there any potential for the China release for Titanic to put #3 spot at risk for A2?
-
I'm sure A2 missed out on $60-70m from Russia at least.

Do you have OS numbers for SW and Jaws?One thing surprising to realize is BOM still having Jaws OS ($210m) over SW ($196m). Not sure how reliable or what SW gross was before the 97 re-release, but does seem like the Spielberg films played a bigger part in kicking the door in overseas (with Jaws -> E.T. -> JP).

Was just thinking the other day how many the craziest accomplishment for Titanic is how its OS gross alone crushed the former WW record by like 35%. Probably WW record holder had not done something like that since GWTW at least?

Wish we got $100m out of UK.

Puss releases on DVD Feb 28th?
How stupid! It’s still making good money and has no family competition for a long while.
why must the studios be so impatient?!?Studios are never learning at this point.
The genie is out of the bottle.

Am surprised Avatar got a bigger VD boost than Titanic but great numbers for both.

Avatar will drop around 50% next weekend against Ant-Man.
2.3B?we'll see it...
Yah I question if it still happens at this point. Does not seem like OS weekend increased with actuals.
-
Wonder if there will be any increases from estimates. Studios definitely not failing to take SB into account lol.

A2 is a huge success, but the admissions trajectory from Titanic -> A1 -> A2 is a sobering reminder for the state of the industry. Although to be fair expecting any director to replicate that level of success is a tremendous ask and he already accomplished it twice in a row.
Will be interested to see where things go from here with A3 (I imagine downward for 3/4 and then maybe there is some finale factor with 5 that will bring back audiences). The main curiosity with #3 will be to see how an unhindered China performs.
-
9 weeks at #1 is very impressive for Avatar.

Globally this weekend we have A2 with $25.9M and Titanic with $22.3M.
That makes Jimbo the first director ever to have two films at the top two spots of the global weekend chart.
Hmm are either local blockbusters in China doing more this weekend?
-
So I assume $100m for A2 won't happen now barring some eventual re-release?

Notably, Way of Water crossed the $250 million global threshold from IMAX box office grosses alone, earning another $2.65 million in the final weekend of its planned IMAX run. Domestically, the sequel has earned $87.6 million in the format through Sunday with $1.25 million of that coming from this weekend.
Does A1 still have this record?
Too bad I just realized last weekend's drop puts $100m in UK out of reach.
THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE | 787.1M overseas | 1362.0M worldwide
in International Box Office

Probably best to expect less from Japan and just be pleasantly surprised if it puts up decent numbers in the end.
