brazil Brazil Box Office Thread
Cooper Legion replied to Fullbuster's topic in International Box Office
Pretty confident Pepsi meant a 21 Mon-Sun instead of Mon-Fri. Seemingly will cap about below 140, but I will dream of some nice drops in next couple weeks. -
At first I interpreted this as you giving the likely total, then I noticed that it was giving the likely midpoint — and then I realized that in a numerical quirk today, going to be pretty close to true both ways! edit: Wow, even closer than I thought. 16:30 midpoint would be a 16.33m finish. 16.45 finish would be a 16:34 midpoint.

Does a 6.5-7 finish look about right? Or will it probably drop faster?

Indeed. China is only some 22% of the last 7 days though, vs 34% of the Opening FSS, and will be a much smaller portion of the next 7 days. The silver lining to fast dropping markets is that they quickly become a less influential part of driving the average drop My serious prediction at this point would be about 155 C, 25J, 410 DOM, 540 OS-C-J for ~1130

Just think how cathartic it will be when the ER is finally good again and Brazil is banging out occasional 100+ grosses like UK, SK, and Japan. -
I would say they can overlap a lot, but not quite the same thing. I’ll grant that it’s hard to draw a distinction since increasing size and intensity of fanbase both tend to lead to more money, but I think if Kevin was offered a deal from a genie where each McU film in the next decade made 10% less money than it otherwise would but was seen and liked by 10% more people (non-theatrical viewing, cheaper tickets, whatever) he would take it in a heartbeat.

Do you mean that IROM Man 4 was RDJ’s decision? It doesn’t have to be IM4 specifically, the point is that they could have used that slot to get sequels for more financially successful characters out faster and just let AM hang around with only 1 solo movie Hulk style. Product placement is is a bit of a non-sequitor, doesn’t hurt continuity or fan satisfaction. 8km not trying to say that they don’t value money highly, that would be silly. My point is merely that given a choice between something which they think will make big bucks soon or something less immediately profitable that strengthens the brand in the long run I think they gravitate towards the latter, so $$$ is more of like the 2nd most important thing.

“Paint by numbers collaborative” is not the same thing as “money driven.” MCU employs a lot of tactics that you might casually associate with being purely about $$$, but in their case I think the primary driver is actually to satisfy fans and build up their continuity, with an eye towards continuing to be a culturally cominant product for as long as possible. That aligns pretty well with making money in the long run, sure, but they’re willing to e.g. make an Ant-Man sequel even though it makes way less money than putting an Iron Man 4 in that slot because they’re interested in setting up characters, settings, plot elements, etc for years down the road,
