Wow! WB dominates the German market. 5/10 Top 10 movies are distributed by them. Makes me curious about the prospect of Fantastic Beasts next year.

Looks good to me. Haven't read the book. As for the CGI, they have another 4 months till release. Im sure it will be fixed.

Ok, so I've only watched the first one and now this one. I have no clue about the ark and I liked the movie well enough on it's own up untill the witch hunt at the end. Lol. But I liked it as a superpowers movie. Not really horror. B-

If this is huge enough in China (230-240m) it will beat Frozen WW. Let's hope it happens.

Expected for MR2. The first one had a great reception. Dunno why people are surprised.

This is the OS forum. I meant 700-800m OS.

Nvm. Found the info I was looking for

Yeah, so... 700m sounds like a good target. 800m max.

Yeah, but between 200m OW and 300m OW there is a huge difference.

Does anyone wanna take a bet? I'm pretty sure this will end up under 1.3B WW. Also, 300M dom OW? Ok, Deadline. As for the 315m OW OS, why? None of the SW movies even managed to make 500m in their entire runs without a 3D rerelease. Why is everyone ready to bet this will increase by 100% or more OS. Even Jurassic World couldn't make it and the original JP made more OS than any of the SW movies.

WEEKEND BOX-OFFICE Great overall weekend, thanks mostly to the insane holds for most of the movies. - The Man From U.N.C.L.E. debuted on top, with 30.862 admissions and $155k. That is a decent enough opening for it and it looks like it should cross the $500k threadshold. - In second, Mission: impossible - Rogue Nation fell only 15% in its 4th outing and reached a very good $778k. It should pass it's predecessor by next week and it seems locked to end up with over $1m. Great legs for it. - Minions increased 27% (!!!) in it's 7th weekend. With 382.376 adm it is already the most attended animated movie ever. It's $1.8m gross also makes it the 9th highest grossing movie of all time. It should have no problem ending up with over $2m. - Southpaw increased 3% after it's somehow disappointing opening and now stands at an ok-ish $189k. - Self/less had a good hold last week and an insane one this week (+4%).and the total is $286k. It already reached an over 3x multiplier and by the end of it's run it should hit well over 5x, a clear example that the romanian audiences like a good SF movie. - Sinister 2 debuted with a weak (and standard for horror movies) 8.574 adm and $38k. - The Fantastic Four eased 20% and the cume is a meh $180k. - Barbie in Rock 'n Royals was up 38% but the total is still awful: $55k (Barbie is clearly no Tinker Bell when it comes to BO power). - Ant-Man lost 3% but reached a good $559k. - And Inside Out closes the top after an insane 44% increase in it's 10th week in release. The total is $734k and if it continues to hold really really well it might have a shot at passing 'Brave's $897k to become the third highest grossing Disney animation behind 'Frozen and 'Tangled'. Top 10 Next weeks openers: - Hitman: Agent 47 - Vacation - Irrational Man - Maya the Bee Movie - Les vacances du petit Nicolas - Toscaanse Bruiloft So a lot of releases, the only ones with potential for over 10.000 adm being the first two. 2015 Top 20 so far:

Why not? I was much better received than Divergent and all in all if it manages a 20-30m increase DOM I think it can increase in the 100m area OS.

It will hit 300m OS.

So freakin hyped for this! My most anticipated movie for the rest of the year by far

What the hell is Straight Outta Compton?!

Any numbers for Vacation? I've only now seen the weekend numbers and it seems it had a surprisingly good hold.

Well, Bond will do strong numbers this year, and Fantastic Beasts should take the crown next year.

DeHaan a shitty actor? What? He was the best part of TASM2.

The WOM is solid. It has a 8.4 grade on CineMagia and it should have some solid legs. And yeah, competition is not that big. The biggest movie in the next two months should be Maze Runner 2, which will probably come close to $1m. But you have other spy movies too: Hitman and Man from UNCLE (in 2 weeks). So that will hit it a bit.

You mean in its 3rd week? Not really, but unless it has great drops, Paper Towns or Southpaw will overtake it, even if they have debuts in the range of 15.000 adm.

Yeah. Very likely. Unless something really breaks out.

WEEKEND BOX-OFFICE Last weekend was a rather slow one, with MI5 debuting rather disappointing. - Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation opened to 41.181 admissions and 207k. That is a bit bigger than the last enttry in the franchise in adm (37.500) and the exact same in USD (thanks to the exchange rates). And while is the biggest opening for the series, it is still disappointing considering the explosion most sequels get here. MI4 opened during Christmas and ended up with a great $820k, a result that MI5 won't reach easily. - In its 4th outing, Minions eased a light 26% and the total is now an incredible $1.49m (and 313.051 admissions). It already passed 'Fifty Shades of Grey' to become the second highest grossing movie of the year and it looks to end up with around $1.8-1.9m. - Ant-Man was down 38% in it's 3rd weekend and the cume is $404k. - Pixels fell 51% from it's debut frame and now stands at a weak $150k. - And in 9th, Jurassic World finally passed the $1.2m border. This week's openers: - The Fantastic Four - Self/less - The Gift I expect a really weak debut for the newest entry in the FF4 franchise, for two reasons: 1. the series isn't popular here; 2. the main theatre chain apparently won't show it. So opening in the 15.000 adm area would be really good for it. Self/less should also consider itself lucky to sell the same amount of tickets. And The Gift - under 10.000 adm.

Anyone know the budget for Attack on Titan? It looks amazing!

CineMagia confirms a 13 Nov release date for this in Romania.

UPDATE: I think I'll lower my prediction for MI5 to around 65.000 admissions. Presales are good, but not as good as I hoped.
