This still has a very big chance of hitting 100M for the 3 day weekend. The fact that less than 15% of the presales were for the midnight and it still made 8.6 M just goes to show the VD (which accounts for around 45% of the presales will be huge). Plus, there will be much better walk-ins on the VD than for the midnight shows, obviously.

Depends. 2015 has no Hobbit which was huge in the Euro zone. -
Ok. I think I'll raise my prediction for 50 Shades from 110.000-150.000 adm to 130.000+. There are just sooo many showtimes and sellouts for this. CinemaCity did not give it any extra shows yet. If they do I'm thinking this will have no problems breaking The Hobbit's OW record.

China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26
James replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
But that is the point. SARFT wants local titles to dominate. -
For it to do that it would require over 30.000 adm I think. It's not impossible, but I doubt it'll go that high with 50 Shades opening. We'll see, haven't really followed it's presales.
-
That is an interesting system. Here every theatre chain releases pretty much everything, except for the really small movies, that are only released by CinemaCity.
-
By that logic, basically every single movie last year except for TF4 flopped... And most movies ever released...
-
It won't. In admissions it has about 1% chance to do it and in gross it has no chance whatsoever. The exchange rates alone will make sure of that. It would be great if MJ2 would make BD 1 numbers.
-
Sure: Twilight - 61.315 adm ($270K) New Moon - 140.542 adm ($756K) Eclipse - 144.741 adm ($667K) BD Part 1 - 214.235 adm ($1.03M) BD Part 2 - 299.022 ($1.38M) Divergent - 102.214 adm ($542K) The Maze Runner - 121.838 adm ($618K)
-
I actually haven't seen it yet THG franchise here: HG - 106.851 admissions ($515K) CF - 158.477 admissions ($855K) MJ - 173.597 admissions ($842K - final; bad exchange rates))

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE Great overall weekend, way up from the last year, and that thanks to the newcomers: Jupiter Ascending and SpongeBob. - Jupiter Ascending made a splash and debuted with a huge 49.358 admissions and $272K. That is way above nearly all comparable titles: 'Transcendence' (39.718), 'Oblivion' (38.709), 'Edge of Tomorrow' (37.926), 'Elysium' (37.453), 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (35.202) 'Pacific Rim' (29.173). In fact, it's the third biggest opening weekend for an original SF movie ever, behind 'Avatar' (67.200) and 'Interstellar' (58.492)! The great debut can be attributed to a series of factors: first of all, good trailers - everytime I've seen one for it in theatres it got great reactions. Second - good to very good reviews. And third - it's a SF movie sold as a huge action spectacle. IMAX was sold out for it all weekend. The WOM seems to be good (currently 8/10 on the biggest movie site here) and if it manages to survive '50 Shades' next weekend it will hold well through the rest of the month. It actually has a decent shot at $1M and a place in the year's Top 10. - In second, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water opened to a good 35.300 adm and $177K. It's well above what I thought it will do, which means the smaller theatre chains really support it, because CinemaCity pretty much abandoned it (it only had 2-3 shows/day in most locations). With no competition till 'Shaun the Sheep' on Feb 27, it should have good holds and end up with a very good gross. I'm thinking north of $600K. - The Wedding Ringer was off 45% and reached $241K. Ok for it. - The Imitation Game had a nice hold (-39%) and now stands at $186K (so-so). - Wild Card collapsed (-63%). Still, it made $194K which is ok-ish. - Big Hero 6 fell 49% this weekend. That is not a good drop for an animation. Total: $420K. At least it will go past $500K but not by much. Very very frontloaded. - American Sniper was down 53%. Cume is at a very nice $358K. - Mortdecai (-51%) is now at a good $340K. - Yellowbird crashlanded in it's second outing (-51%). - Boyhood closes the top, debuting with a weak 3.076 adm and $15K. - Outside Top 10, Whiplash bombed with 2.520 tickets sold. Top 10 Next week's openers: - 50 Shades of Grey - Kingsman: The Secret Service - Wish I Was Here - Stockholm And we are finally here! '50 Shades' will be HUGE. That is not even a question. But how huge? Well, that's hard to answer. Presales started at a record breaking pace last weekend, but now they seem to have slowed down quite a bit. Unfortunately, I didin't have the time to follow the sellouts closely (damn exams!), but there are a lot of them. I would say this is locked to open above 100.000 admissions. Let's say 110.000-115.000. It's better to keep my expectations in check, especially since I don't have a clear picture of the release. Either way, anticipation is huge. 'Kingsman'... I don't know. The marketing for it is nothing to write home about and opening against '50 Shades', even as a couterprogramming, seems like a bad idea. Maybe 20.000 adm? The other two releases under 10.000.

Well, it is big. It owns about 70-75% of the marketplace. It has theatres is almost every major city.

I didn't say I disliked it. But the trailer looks incredibly cheap, even more so that the Smurfs movies which is the lowest you can get. And apparently this is a brand...
