Visionnary... Valerian : 58M$ Cars 3: 19M$ BD: 15M$

Prediction is not the topic here. The topic was more answering to someone (marvel) who constantly write that the movie will drown in every territory just because he don't like it....

After 5 weeks.... Valerian still number 1 at the french Box Office this Week-end 1 2 Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets EuropaC $1,747,970 -29.8% 940 -30 $1,860 $32,976,922 5 2 1 War for the Planet of the Apes Fox $1,692,022 -34.2% 685 -72 $2,470 $20,357,916 4 3 N The Hitman's Bodyguard Metro. $1,514,169 - 467 - $3,242 $1,514,169 1

Still something that I don't understand here. DM3 did 5.3M admission and mojo annonce a total gross of 37M$ when average ticket price in France is between 10$-15$ (3D) ? Is this because the VAT or exploitant part is excluded ?

Valerian reached 40M this monday...

Valerian did better on monday than during the week-end... How is this possible ?

Baby Driver will do less than 1/3 of Valerian during the week end and Cars pretty much the same. When you know that Valerian will do a "not so impressive" 30M$ OW and WW2 is also loosing a large part of his audience how can you explain such a disaster ?

Does a drama about WW2 in France have a chance in China ?

Valerian would only do 10M on total run after opening week-end at 30M ? Doesn't sounds verry optimistic even with arrival of new movies.

Valerian is now the 3rd highest grossing movie in the french yearly box office with 30.4M $. This is also due to the huge % of 3D screening (>20% more expensives). As Valerian was still second at the BO this friday it could become 1st at the yearly box office in the coming days (DM is at 37M$). 1 Despicable Me 3 UPI $37,795,472 7/5 2 Raid dingue Path $33,304,269 2/1 3 Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets EuropaC $30,465,246 7/26

In the European Economic Area but you need to be represented by a Belgian Production Company in Belgium --> in this case Belga Film Fund who has a long term partnership with Europacrop.

"Those in the pre-sales world don’t believe what Deadline was told — that 90% of the film’s budget was sold this off around the world in pre-sales and made up by tax credits. They say pre-sales would cover more like 60%. " "Those in the pre-sales world believes"..... That's exactly why I call Deadline bullshit...

Like I said Belga film fund is coproducer via the tax shelter sytem https://www.belgiumfilm.be/film-financing/tax-shelter

Besson saying Bullshits is definitively something possible.
