While economics are not my area of expertise I tried to know more about ER in Brazil.
Last week the dollar was worth R$3.84 on average while this week seems to be around R$3.90. R$4 or more in one month can't be excluded.
I could be wrong because I don't know anything about finances or economics, how does that work? How could the Real go beyond R$4? How is the economy of Brazil? Thank you in advance for your answer

So I just watched MJ1's performance compared to CF both DOM and OS and I must say I'm not impressed.
It lost around 90m DOM over CF and I even decreased OS. That is quite disappointing.
MJ2 will face disappointment about MJ1, currency issues because of the stronger dollar in most OS territories and a strong competition in China where it's already a very weak franchise.
So I just expect it to have CF numbers or slightly higher OS, at best.
That's a bit worrying.

Yes, Brazil is not into Star Wars but I have the feeling it could go beyond our expectations there.

From Goffe
The theater I usually go has already sold 1/3 of the tickets for the first showing. That's huuuuge over here, especially considering that the OW is still 2 months away and that SW was never popular here, films like Fantastic Four and Constantine sold more tickets than ROTS for example. People never, I mean never buy tickets in advance, Mockingjay 2 didn't sell ONE single ticket yet, and they're selling tickets for that movie for a month now.

Pleeeeeeeease, you will be hyped too

Watch both videos, they was better than every trailer released
I watched enough, don't want to see too much of it.

Did you watch the amazing MJ2 videos that I posted?
No. I watched the last trailer that I very good and that's sufficient.

Mojo is again (sporadically) posting the Mexican box-office chart!

Meanwhile, Star Wars VII seems to be breaking pre-release records! It's going to be huge ...the original tre-quel is a cult classic.
Unfortunately the only available gross I could find for the entire saga is:
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
OW: US$3,387,551, 33,384,993 lc, 500 theatres.
Extended OW: US$5,704,170, 56,215,736 lc, 500 theatres.
Total: US$8,793,561, 87,487,992 lc.
which looks very underwhelming, it fizzled quite quickly. But market has grown exponentially since then. I'd be surprised if it opens with less than 150M lc.So I forecast over US$30M, but could go as high as US$40M if WOM is strong. Of course ER could suddenly improve or implode.
If there is a market in Latin America where SW7 can do well it's really Mexico

wrong dude. Officially they said on the news. For the first 24 hours since they put tickets in pre-sale revenue it's allready over 2 billion dollars!!! Only about 24 hours. Worldwide of course. Eat this Avatar!!! 850 million Domestic. 3 billion WW, and maybe even 3.5 billion....
While I hope you're right I want to be cautious.
-
Jesus! But I'm not even attacking it (yet), thanks god you was not here when A2 was released then
Yes thank god
-
I don't hate you, but you violently attacked Star Wars, it's a terrible sin:'(
I don't understand why you hate me

I'm an angel

LMFAO!!! You're so fucking cute

I'm surprised because it was tracking at $100m just few weeks ago, and now it's already down to $75m, I wonder if the final number will be even lower
All the attention will be on MJ2 anyway.
-
That's an amazing movie to watch alone because I can sing loud
Lol I imagine something sexually nasty
-
But you cry for animation movies
When I feel very close to these characters yes, because learned to knew in the movie. Perfectly normal, I can relate to characters of these movies.
-
Are you really surprised by this low tracking? I never felt any hype for this.

I Believe that this film will play much better than expected, i live in Mexico and ticket sales started yesterday, and in the movie theaters of my town, there are 16 midnight showings, and 9 are already sold out, and the others are 70% full already... Quite fast considering that presale just started one day ago.
Prequels never were the big thing here, i dont know if it was because Star Wars isn´t big here, or was the prequel effect. But im sure that TFA will have an opening of +10 million.
Latin America will be Star Wars' most difficult region to conquer. Let's see if Disney will be able to create a new fan base in that region.

#Spectre targeting $75M-$80M opening, pacing behind #Skyfall http://ow.ly/TDKIG
Wow, this would be really disappointing
I never felt the hype for this movie unlike Skyfall, not a surprise

Just bought my tickets for the Ed Sheeran concert, and seems that I'll be the only one in cinema, great! That's an amazing movie to watch alone if Arthur know what I mean
I have a vague idea
-
Did you cry too?
I don't cry for people I never personally knew.

Not good, AOTC and ROTS made about 800K, which if you look at the chart above, is nothing, and gets beaten by films all the time. ROTS made less than random stuff that most people haven't heard of like Space Chimps or Arbitrage. I don't expect anything huge from Star Wars in Israel.
Weird, as the biggest high tech pole outside the US I thought Israelis would be more into sci-fi and STar Wars or geeky things.
-
You don't understand, I'm almost crying
Indeed, you're way too emotional. You remind me of people who cried when Steve Jobs died

I see..Israelis seem to be very serious people, not really into dreams and creativity.
I guess it was to be expected when you're surrounded by threatening neighbors in a dangerous region, you need to be down to Earth and realistic. I see it that way but maybe you'll disagree.
