[JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW]

I've heard that The Little Prince is popular in Japan and considering it even has its own website how big it can be here?

I think $20m but of course you know much better

[Official France Box Office Thread]

... That trailer made me cry. The animation looks stunning and by any chance do you know who's singing in the trailer? Her voice is so fluid and agile! Who's distributing the film and does it have a release date in the States yet? Definitely a front runner for Best Animated Feature just from the trailer. What is the critical reception in France thus far? Sorry for the many questions, the film is simply a masterpiece!

Salvation by Gabrielle Aplin if you mean the first  english trailer.

I don't live in France but based on what i've seen on Allocine and other sites its reception is mostly positive.

Paramount Vantage will handle US distribution.A release date will come soon.

[The Little Prince OS Thread | 38.9m Total | Thriving in Brazil and great numbers from Poland as well]

I'm hoping for an upper $100 million cumulative or more.

I have a feeling that it may  end up performing much better than just $100m.

[Official France Box Office Thread]

My body is ready to follow the Prince's run! I'm hoping it gets an American release! I read that it's budget was $80 million? That is insane for an animated feature made outside of the United States and even more appalling when you consider the amount of factors that can contribute to a weak performance!

PS: I just ADORE Inside Out's french release title of Vice-Versa. <3 <3 <3

Of course it will since it even has an english trailer!

[The Little Prince OS Thread | 38.9m Total | Thriving in Brazil and great numbers from Poland as well]

This is a topic about the new French animated film which is based on one of the most popular books of all time!

It's budget is more than $80m an extremely high budget for a French movie but i think it will be a success.

I agree with you!

I believe that given the importance of this project / film and also the influence that the book has around the world, especially in France, certainly have to create a thread, so please keep the honor create it.

 

Hug!

 

Sure!

[Official France Box Office Thread]

 

Hello! I'm from Brazil and new here!

 

I wonder how the French are the expectations for the premiere on Wednesday (29/07) of the animation "The Little Prince", one of the most expensive films ever produced in Europe. I know the book is considered in France as the book of the twentieth century.

 

In Brazil the premiere is the 20th of August and the expectation, at least mine, is on high.

 

Hugs! 

 

I'm also excited and i'm sure it will be a huge hit 

I was thinking of creating an OS Thread about it but i suggest you do that.

[Mexico Box Office | Inside Out 2 opens to mind-blowing $30.2M, 2nd highest 4-day lc OW ever!]

Pixels repeats at #1 on Saturday, followed by Minions, AM, Paper Towns and The Gallows. Sunday is Minions strongest day so the race at the top still open.

Minions is a beast 

I thought that Ant-man would beat it this weekend....

[BO Germany/Austria: Inside Out 2 #1 with best 2024 OW]

And the first weekend trend for Germany from insidekino.de:

#1: Minions - 575k admissions (-25%)

#2: MMXL - 300k admissions (the first one had just a little more than 400k TOTAL so that's a strong number)

#3/4: And-Man and Kartoffelsalat with 160k each

#5: Unfriended - 120k (-35% - a little disappointing after last week's strong PTA)

Terrible for Ant-Man.

Has Minions already beat despicable me 2 in admissions?

Thank you for making this because i'm a huge Pokemon fan

I mostly care about the games but i occasionally watch the anime.

Anyway i've heard that this pokemon movie is really good!

Do you think it can reach at least $22m 

[Minions OS Thread | 1 BILLION WW CROSSED!! | 6m weekend | $811.4m OS total]

For a moment I thought that it might beat Frozen...    

I like Minions but it seriously doesn't deserve to become the highest grossing animated film

[INSIDE OUT | 501.1 M overseas | 857.6 M worldwide]

I hope it reaches $1 billion worldwide

That's impossible

   

But it still performs much better than most Pixar films and it's a huge hit

[INSIDE OUT | 501.1 M overseas | 857.6 M worldwide]

Next weekend it opens in UK.

Expect big numbers

[Top ten films of 2016 predictions]

You can't use the fact that no one is interested in a film with over a year left to release as a reason to doubt it. I mean, it's a Disney movie. You know there's going to be hype eventually

I think so but it's curious that they haven't found the actress for Moana yet...

[Top ten films of 2016 predictions]

Thanks man! I expect a lot of these are going to be way off for sure, but I am going to do another set I predictions come October and then a final one Jan 1. Hopefully we get a better look at some of these movies by then so we (I) can make more accurate predictions

You're welcome.

Most 2016 films will start filming later this year so you can even more better predictions.

[Weekend Estimates: Ant-Man 58.04 | Minions 50.24 | Trainwreck 30.24 | IO 11.66 | JW 11.36 (Page 88)]

The Ant-Man number in the title at the moment is the OS number, 56M, which is actually pretty good based on the markets it opened in. With good legs and help from China it should reach more than 250M OS.

I'm particularly curious to see how big it was it Latin America and Russia

[Ant Man OS Thread | 334.5m OS to date | 513.7m WW]

[Weekend Estimates: Ant-Man 58.04 | Minions 50.24 | Trainwreck 30.24 | IO 11.66 | JW 11.36 (Page 88)]

I was really expecting more from  Antman. I'm kind of disappointed 

We should better wait to see how big it was in each country rather than just an OS total.

[Weekend Estimates: Ant-Man 58.04 | Minions 50.24 | Trainwreck 30.24 | IO 11.66 | JW 11.36 (Page 88)]

Nice! Global wasn't bad either. Glad you liked it CJohn!

What markets does it have left to open?

Most of Europe as well as China,Japan,South Korea and India.

[Weekend Estimates: Ant-Man 58.04 | Minions 50.24 | Trainwreck 30.24 | IO 11.66 | JW 11.36 (Page 88)]

People are waiting with anticipation to see how hard ant man bombed

It won't bomb     

Anything over $55m is Ok.

[Argentina Box Office - Minions: first movie ever to do $35m+!!!]

Minions is going to pass $20m today!! It takes it 17 days to reach that magic number, 1 day more than FF7. It's the 6th movie to do $20m+ and I think $30m could happen for the first time in history because the winter holidays in the most populated areas of the country are starting today!!! Minions are making history in this market!!! Also Inside Out is doing fantastic and it will make it into the All Time Top Ten by Gross tomorrow or on Monday.

Very happy about both movies and i hope Minions will reach $30m to become the highest grossing film of all time!!!
