  1. Amazing Thread, also Chilean here. Couldn't agree more with what you said about the social unrest, even though most violent protests have calmed down, cinemas still feel pretty empty this days.
  2. At least in Chile it definitely is the case, people are not so hyped BUT most people liked TFA, except for hard-core fans.
  3. This was the last Week in which SW7 was over Avatar gross. If you see it in perspective, at the start, it was pretty logic we dream.
  4. All latin America has a big devaluation also. And thats an important market for FF7.
  5. just 47 million? Auch. PS: Avatar was at 1,619,879,904 in the total box office at this point. The next weekend Star Wars will still be on top (Avatar was at 1,838,802,321), but since then, Avatar will continue to reign the box office as the fastest to 2 Billion.
  6. 1. Empire 2. TFA 3. RoTS 4. ANH 5. RoTJ (A big, big gap here) 6. TPM 7. AoTC
  7. Star Wars surpassed 1Million Tickets in Chile (and is really close to 1.1Million), probably its going to end at 1.3 (hollywood movies here tend to be REALLY front loaded). That is a good result for a December release here (the strongest box office time is July and October here)
  8. Its so sad to see expectations go from "its gonna beat avatar" to "it might surpass titanic"
  9. It may sound weird, but this new king of the box office (which im glad that surpassed Avatar) shows what an amazing run ET and Titanic have. Avatar was on top of the bussines for 6 years, but considering it has a whole new technology to get more cash, its far from what Titanic and ET acomplished.
  10. Well is not that complicated. Lots of not developed countries have a lot of dependency (Oil, Copper, agriculture, etc.), which value is going down because of a slowing demand (mostly because of China not growing at 9%), there u have like all latin america (except for central american countries), the biggest economies of africa, almost the whole middle east and Russia. http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2015/08/commodity-dependency. So investors the government budget in a lot of places go unbalanced, adding risk of default, so investors fly, adding more problems and risk, so more investors go, devaluating the currency. Thats the first factor. The second one is stronger US economy (come on', you're now on one of the lowest unemployments rates in history), so the US Dollar gets even more strong, cause the capital flows are going to the US, not backwards. And the third, are subregional tendencies. In South America for example, Brazil is getting hit HARD by a horrible crisis, so the region gets the hit harder. The same with slowing China demand, so South East Asia should have the same effect, but, because South East Asia is a poorer place that South America, growing the consumer market is easier, even with slowing China demand, same for subsaharan africa. This add risk, and stops growth. So if u have to invest in one country that is getting riskier but without any reward in growth, would you invest? Well, no. The same for capital flows. Well, mostly that. >>>>>>>> Star Wars was really far from avatar this week, 136,300,000 vs 96,300,000 is an enormous difference, even though Avatar had 8 territories more being tracked.
  11. Adjusted by exchange Rate, it will be kicking avatar in some Latin American countries.
  12. In Chile the box office is usually published by admission, but it has lots of periods when its not published. Anyways, according to Andes Films the box office is like this: 1. Minions (2015): 2.086.790 2. Stefan vs. Kramer (2012): 2.086.614 3. Ice Age 2 (2012): 2.069.905 4. Avatar (2009): 1.653.704 5. Inside Out (2015): 1.577.410 http://www.latercera.com/noticia/entretencion/2015/09/661-648280-9-minions-se-transforma-en-la-pelicula-mas-vista-en-la-historia-del-cine-en-chile.shtml Fast and Furious 7 made just 10.000 less tickets than Inside Out, but it should be the 6th one. http://www.otroscines.com/nota?idnota=10482 By opening Weekend, the 2 biggest are Fast and Furious 7 (420.000 Spectators, that is like the ), and Star Wars 7 (350.000). http://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/entretencion/cine/guerra-de-las-galaxias/star-wars-the-force-awakens-reunio-350-mil-espectadores-en-su-primer/2015-12-21/155118.html PS: Im pretty sure Titanic would be the biggest box office success if it were released today in Chile. It has been exploited by years by the biggest channels in TV, and always, ALWAYS is a big success. Also in 1997-98 it cuts, 1.426.749 tickets, when this was a much poorer country and cinemas were not that usual as today. http://www.lanacion.cl/-avatar-rompe-historico-record-de-taquilla-en-chile/noticias/2010-02-15/213804.html
  13. In admissions, im pretty sure u're right, still has room to grow in Latin America, and of course, Asia. But in terms of cash, if u have a weaker dollar, it will grow everywhere. Just in Brazil with 2010 exchange rates, it would be in 50million, not in 22.
  14. Good performance vs Avatar, but Asia (the crucial continent) is still short. Ps: Exchange rates hit harder SW, than shorter markets hit avatar.
  15. If its 58, its like the 5th biggest saturday in History (including openings), also it may be the 24 biggest day in history (so Star Wars will have 4 in the top 25, JW has 2). Simply amazing.
  16. Thats not true. Maybe the hype is inmense in the US and the UK, but this is huge in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Latin America.
  17. If it have an amazing box-office in China, sure. If not, difficult, cause the exchange rates are killing it vs avatar.
  18. With the exception of comedies (and latin guys having the big roles in us movies), the Latin America box Office is really similar to the US. You just have to add some Argentinian movies in South America, the local movies, and mexican in central america. So sure, Star Wars here is an amazing hit. The problem is Asia, that is much bigger that latin america. Even if its the biggest ever in Brazil or Mexico, it stills less important than South Korea.
  19. Totally, in the US box office and everywhere else, there are still countries where titanic is the biggest movie (or the #2), and their movie bussines had expanded like hell.
  20. Over Avatar? In 2010, exchange rates in Latin america were pretty good for us studios, now every currency has crumbled.
  21. What a weird estimation. Avatar over titanic... >>> Anyways, star wars is massive in Latin America, at least in the hispanic countries. In Chile its has like 50% of the theaters
  22. Not in retrospect, but this star wars week was simply, amazing. Even for star wars. But nothing will ever be titanic
  23. In that case u should change term "box office" to "Star Wars, James Cameron and friends"
