titanic2187

given strong monday and tuesday, even it drop 30% on wednesday and another 15% on thrusday, it will still get $2.4m on thrusday, in order for WW to drop more than 50% against SMH's opening, I couldn't imagine how low it would be needed for the friday increase of WW....

I'm proving EUROPE STILL MATTERS

bigger than I thought. Anyway, this week tuesday and wednesday was the 1st uninterrupted mid-day for WW since its 2nd week. 3rd's week tuesday and wednesday was disturbed by TF5 while last week was BD.......

Would wednesday big too?? I noticed that the day after ID, 5/7 was generally bigger WEDNESDAY compared to normal wednesday

Avatar scored $175m in france alone, $162m from germany, $110m spain, $88m from italy. Titanic made $140m from germany, and france too, and many more unimaginable huge figures from other european countries. Guess what CBM movie made more than $40m in france or germany? ANSWER: NONE!! if it wasn't for europe, Titanic and Avatar could lost their crown long ago!!! EUROPE STILL MATTERS.

It became the third film of 2017 to debut above ¥1 billion, and the 37th film overall to clear the milestone. The fifth Pirates film matched the debut of its predecessor On Stranger Tides almost to the exact admission (down 0.2%), but opening on the 1st of the month (discount day) prevented it from matching it in revenue (down 13%). Disney is surely happy with the films' success so far, with this opening likely guaranteeing a total over ¥7 billion ($60 million) and a fair chance of reaching ¥8 billion ($70 million). >Shinobi's Country comes in second place, debuting to an impressive 404,452 admissions over the weekend on 332 screens. The film, based on the novel of the same name and directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura, will be aiming for a ¥3 billion ($25 million+) total. >I Have Difficulty Being Loved Too Much opened in third place, selling 143,000 admissions over the weekend frame on 252 screens. And since debuting on Friday, its 3-day admissions rose to a solid 191,000. We're about to enter the Summer Box Office, so it might be leggy enough to reach the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone. >Beauty and the Beast experienced its expected harsh drop this weekend thanks to the release of another major Disney tentpole, and will be winding down its run in the next couple weeks. However, over its eleventh weekend, it managed to surpass The Wind Rises to become the 18th-highest grossing film of all-time, and has sold an incredible 8,721,794 admissions to become the 23rd-most attended film of all-time. >Anpanman: Buruburu's Big Treasure Hunt Adventure! is the 29th entry in the popular children's program and sold 79,975 admissions over the weekend on 196 screens. The debut isn't among the top-tier in the long-running franchise, but it did come in above the average. >Free! Timeless Medley Yakusoku (Promise) came in above estimates by a comfortable amount, selling 44,768 admissions over the weekend on just 59 screens. This is the second film in the Timeless Medley series, and the fourth overall in the Free! franchise.

to be fair, all those raptors were played by human being.....

ultron was distributed by disney, cinderella was receiving double-feature "treatment" that week, which boost its sales. The tactic is very common now.....

well, if somebody predict that DM3 would approach $100m, they are still right, just it become 5 days opening figure.

I think some theater manager can't wait until 3rd weekend to drop it....they'll just drop it in 2nd week

well, alice 2 was completely forgotten, i couldn't even recall its existence until u've mentioned it

with cash-cow, WDAS, pixar, marvel and lucasfilm, when was the last time Disney had a flopped film???

sequel fatigue stoke not just once, but they were soon recover, and still making money, like POTC5, it still make money although far lesser, with lower risk than original IP and no alternative for sequel model, hollywood have no way to get rid of sequel......

with marvel's movie successfully blend the comedy genre with superhero element, "pure" comedy drama just have no where to go....

For Ferrell, House reps his lowest live-action comedy opening from a major studio, while for Poehler, it’s certainly her lowest three-day for any major studio release that has featured her as the marquee draw.

Heading into the weekend, most had expected it to rake in $85 million to $90 million. Sunday estimates showed the movie grossing $75.4 million, but the number was revised downwards on Monday morning when final weekend numbers were calculated.

June's figure stood at $1.054b domestically,lowest since 2014, hope July will pick up here.....as much more promising film join the marketplace...

either way, I hope it's true as WW showed the biggest up among top 10 on sat, meaning holidng power is there.... another, I found that WW just couldn't have one "normal/smooth" weekend in its run because at least one day in the weekend was either inflated or deflated for a reason, 2nd weekend- $58.2m(against inflated opening friday as thrusday preview added into opening friday) 3rd weekend- $41.3m(inflated sunday as father day) 4th weekend- $24.9m(deflated sunday against father day from previous week) 5th weekend-$15.6m(inflated sunday as 4th July) 6th weekend-???(deflated sunday against 4th July)

well, WB have WW only dip 3.3% on sunday, that's good but isn't too optimistic?? is this how 4th July worked?

tomato law is in full force in the marketplace now
