  1. Beacause a SW movie would come under a Fast and Furious movie which would prove there are bigger franchises today.
  2. It will be hilarious to see fanboys lose their mins when SW doesn't even hit 1.3B. "SW is the most popular frnachise ever blah blah blah"
  3. From what I see it's another name for the 'One Direction: Where We Are' documentary. Weird.
  4. Idk. It keeps gettin moved up. It was set for release in February I think, now this. I think it might move again.
  5. Oh, you are right, my bad. Thanks for that
  6. WEEKEND BOX OFFICE Easter weekend came with huge drops for all movies, but the week preceding the Easter was one of the biggest ever. - Fast and Furious 7 dropped 80% in it's second frame, and while that seems awful, it's really not. Most theatres were closed on Sunday and only had a few shows on Saturday. But the weekdays were out of this world for every movie. This way, despite 'Fast and Furious 7' only making 40.000 adm during the weekend, the Monday-Thursday frame brought in over 170.000 tickets. After 10 days, the seventh instalment in the 'Fast' franchise sits at a monster $1.7m (9th highest grossing movie ever) and 406.118 admissions (4th most attended movie of the 21st century, behind 'Avatar' and two 'Hobbit' films). It is already No. 1 for the year ahead of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and it will very likely maintain that position). Also, next weekend looks promising for 'Furious 7' and for all movies in fact, because we talk Easter break, when most films increase from the previous week/weekend. So look for 'Fast 7' to be around 600.000 admissions and $2.3m by next Sunday. In fact, if it doesn't get very affected by 'Age of Ultron', it might have a chance at passing 'Avatar' in admissions (and only admissions, considering it already legs behind 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' in USD, despite selling way more tickets; reason: bad exchange rates and lack of 3D). - In second, Insurgent had the best drop in Top 10 (-67%) and now stands at $641k. That is great for it and with good WOM it has a chance at overtaking the biggest 'Hunger Games' movie, 'Catching Fire' (so $850k+ finish). - TinkerBell and the Legend of the NeverBeast was down 80% and total is $171k. - Get Hard slides 73% and reaches a good $321k. - Next we have 3 openers (Minuscule - La vallee des fourmis perdues, Kidnapping Mr. Heineken and The Longest Ride). All of them bombed, not even touching 5.000 adm. - Home's (-70%) gross is a weak $158k. - Cinderella (-73%) won't even reach half of 'Maleficent's total (it now stands at $456k). - Big Game closes the top after an 80% drop. - Way down the list, Un beau dimanche only sold a laughable 32 tickets. Top 10 Next week's openers: - Paul Bart: Mall Cop 2 - Cut Bank - One Direction: The Inside Story - Danny Collins The first 'Paul Bart' was a bomb here, but the presales for the sequel seem quite promising. A 30.000 adm OW might be in order. 'Cut Bank' may have a slim chance at topping 10.000 adm, while the others will flop. TOP 10 for 2015:
  7. Actually, piracy is one of the reasons GoT gets the audiences it gets today. Even one of the HBO spokesmen aknowledged it. I know people that paid more money just to get HBO because they wanted an authentic GoT viewing after pirating the first seasons.
  8. We don't even get HBO in our pack of TV programs. Piracy is more than welcome and legal (since there's no law here to incriminate it yet).
  9. But other markets will likely decrease because of the Exchange Rate. The ER problem was mitigated by FF7 by selling an enormous amount of tickets. Considering these ER it's likely F7 will sell roughly the same amount of tickets WW as the first Avengers did.
  10. Beacause I actually know one or two things about how OS markets work and you clearly are clueless. But no matter, I hope the same thing for you.
  11. You cannot. Only Episode 1. Ok. So I have to find another place to discuss GoT. Great.
  12. So I can or cannot talk about spoilers from the leaked episodes here after all? The title says something, you people say smth else.
  13. Yeah, AoU will increase the same as FF7 because.... because what? There is no correlation between these two movies. One had it's protagonist dying.The other has nothing of sorts. Actually, it'll have decreasing 3D rates and no novelty element to it that was the main reason it made money in the first place. In the end, FF7 will sell more tickets than AoU anyway.
  14. Are you talking economic or BO wise? Because the second is quite locked to happen sometimes around 2020.
