[MOANA | 394.6 M overseas ● 643.3 M worldwide]

13 hours ago, newbie BO buff said:

As of yesterday (4 December), Indonesia stands at 2.1 million, less than 800 thousand tickets sold.

Not looking too good, it had to share screens with FB when it opened. And Sing opens in 2 days (7 December).

Where did you get it? I'm looking high and low for Indonesian Box Office numbers but I nevet seemed to be able to find it... 

 

[MOANA | 394.6 M overseas ● 643.3 M worldwide]

 

I think Moana's weak OS performance might have something to do with how it's not exactly appealing to a certain region.

 

Example:

Tangled obviously appeals more to Europe countries, as it's setting is very European and Rapunzel came from European fairy tale, hence it's strong Europe numbers but weak Asian number and average Latin numbers.

 

Big Hero 6 appeals more to Asian countries, obviously, with $160 milion from Japan+China alone, but is kind of weaker in Europe and Latin.

 

Frozen performed strongly in Europe, better than BH6 and Tangled in Latin, and went nuts in Japan and Korea. Is an outlier, not the rule.

 

Zootopia is strong across the board, because talking animals is universal language.

 

What can Moana appeal to culturally? I mean, Pacific islands probably count as untracked territories. We know that Moana sells out theatres in Hawaii, so that's good I guess. Maybe New Zealand and Australia will have good reactions to it. $400 million OS seemed like a good if not slightly optimistic target for Moana.

[Passengers | Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence | Dec 21, 2016 | Trailer pg 70]

I'm cautiously excited for this. I'm rooting for J-Law and Pratt, but so far nothing have really caught my attention. Will definitely watch this in the opening day in my country though.

[Weekend numbers. Moana 28.3 | FB 18.5 | Arrival 7.3 | Allied 7 | DS 6.8 | Trolls 4.6 | Hacksaw 3.4]

Woohoo! Amazing for FB. I hope since it will finish with around $230+ million DOM and $700 million+ WW, we will still get 4 more FB films as promised

 

Also, fingers crossed Moana drops better than Frozen ($26,6 million~)

[Underworld: Blood Wars | Jan 6, 2017 | First Trailer on Page 7]

Watched this yesterday after Moana. It's... uh.... yeah, cool stuff here and there, and the rest is just plain terrible.

[Your Name (2016)]

Ok, I might be a teeny bit biased because I just love Anime films, and Shinkai's previous works are all amazing to me. Also, this is a romance film taken into a greater scale, kind of like Titanic, something I'm a sucker for.... So yeah, long story short, this is an A+ film for me. At any year, this would have been the #1 animated film for me, but for now, it have to settle for #2 of the year because Zootopia exists.

[Saban's Power Rangers | March 24, 2017 | Teaser Trailer on Page 47]

Completely anecdotal, like with Blankment's, but all of my friends that I told about this film seemed to react by bursting out laughing. I think no one really take this film seriously...

[Weekend Thread | Official Estimates: Moana - 55.5/81.1M; Fantastic Beasts - 45.1M; Doctor Strange - 13.4M; Allied - 13/18M; Arrival - 11.3M; Trolls - 10.3M; Bad Santa 2 - 6.1/9M]

Everyone is doing a list, so why not?

 

1. Zootopia

2. Kubo and the Two Strings

3. Hacksaw Ridge

4. Your Name.

5. Doctor Strange

6. The Jungle Book

7. The Edge of Seventeen

8. Finding Dory

9. Captain America: Civil War

10. Deadpool

 

Honorable Mentions: Central Intelligence, Suicide Squad, Fantastic Beasts, Sing Street, and Kung Fu Panda 3.

Haven't watched Moana or Arrival, but both will probably join in once I watched them. I'm confident that Rogue One will join in too, and possibly Sing.

[Top 10 of 2017 predictions!]

Not sure if I've posted my prediction or not, but here's the top 10:

 

1. Star Wars Episode VIII $720 million

2. Beauty and the Beast $450 million

3/4. GOTG 2/JL $400 million

5. Spidey $350 million

6. Lego Batman $340 million

7. Despicable Me 3 $330 million

8. Wonder Woman $310 million

9. Thor: Ragnarok $270 million

10. Coco/Fast 8 $250 million (Really not sure)

 

Honorable mentions: I believe these films will cross $200 million. Transformers 5, War of the Planet of the Apes, Logan, Cars 3, and Dunkirk. I want  Valerian to cross $200 million, but $150 million will already be a miracle, so...

[Cars 3 | 6.16.2017 | Trailer Page 14]

You know what? If the first full trailer retain that feel that the teaser give, I'm sold. I'll retract all my statement about skipping Cars 3 and add it in my to-watch list of 2017.

[Hacksaw Ridge | Nov 4 2016 | Lionsgate | WWII movie directed by Mel Gibson. Starring Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer. The movie gets the BOZ/Tele/WB seal of approval.]

Wow. This is fantastic, like, I'm speechless. The best non-animated film of the year for me.

[Transformers: The Last Knight | 6/21/2017 | Big Budget, Weak OW?]

Wooh! Excited for this one. 2017 is shaping up to be a glorious year for films for me, especially since I love Bayformers film (Yes, even the second one)

[2017 & Beyond Discussion Thread | Is 2017 (Summer) Bigger than 2016?]

I will cry happy tears if Valerian can even sneak into the top 10 for Summer 2017.

[Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | July 21, 2017 | FLOP OF THE YEAR]

Really really excited for this! Also, nice to see another Indonesian Valerian fan.

[Weekend Thread | Saturday Asgrard pg 28 or 29 DS 32 Trolls 19 HR 5.8]

If this opens with at least $100 million, I'm opening the Doctor Strange over The Winter Soldier DOM club

[Assassin's Creed | 12/21/2016 | Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard | Final Trailer on Page 71]

Kinda interested in this but I still think going up against Rogue One and Passengers is basically suicide for this.

[#UnpopularOpinions: Movies you think will overperform vs. movies you think will underperform given general expectations]

Overperform:

Valerian. I'm very convinced that this will be able to do better than Lucy and might even come close to the $200 million mark.

 

Also, considering the general prediction for Justice League seemed to be $280-330m, I think it will be safe to say that predicting a $400m+ finish for it is unpopular.

 

Underperform:

Rogue One. $500m+ is crazy. Over Civil War but under Dory is where I see it at.

 

And of course, with me thinking JL can get to $400m, that means Thor will suffer and might end just a little bit over $200m.

 

[Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | July 21, 2017 | FLOP OF THE YEAR]

I want this to make a huge breakout. Like, $700m+ ww breakout. It's impossible, I know, but a guy can dream.

[Saban's Power Rangers | March 24, 2017 | Teaser Trailer on Page 47]

From the trailer, it's pretty obvious they're aiming for the teen demographics which might hurt this because Beauty and the Beast,  while a family film, still have a huge attraction to teens.

 

Btw, still kinda excited for this. I'm one of the very few people who think 2015 FF isn't a total disaster, so I guess I'm okay with the vibe.

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

So, Your Name. O/U Frozen?

[The Little Prince | Netflix bought the rights, it will be released on the streaming service]

This is very adorable. Too bad this isn't given the chance to smash in US.

[Disney's Pete's Dragon | August 12, 2016]

Disney is saving up all those live-action money so they can go all out with Beauty and the Beast

[Weekend Estimates (Page 92): Pets 103.2M (biggest OW ever for an original movie) | Tarzan 20.6M | Dory 20.3M | M&D 16.6M]

Good for Illumination. They can get away with kinda subpar material with that kind of fantastic marketing. Heck, they probably would have been able to turn The Good Dinosaur into a $300m+ DOM grosser.

[Disney's Pete's Dragon | August 12, 2016]

This is gonna breakout big time. $180m DOM minimum.

[Wednesday #s: Dory $6.4M, Tarzan $4.3M, Purge $3.2M, BFG $2.66M]

I've never seen Frozen in full even though I own the Soundtrack
