pretty normal 100% growth from SAT. 4-days weekend probably 135M.

nope. its what it is 40.8.

nope. avatar 2.

c$40.8M

Your hint 14.5

Quite possibly 380 by next Sun.

$385-390M os. $450M+ dom.

possibly drop from this.

If this follows Rogue One, will end up around 3.7B, though it is making gains so can reach 4.5B I guess.

Also for all the hype of increased ticket prices, prices are par other Hollywood tentpoles. May be some cinema has surcharge of ₹10/20 over Dr Strange, but it's largely same. The ticket price increase that is helping gross is basically in South India. back in 2019, ticket prices in Telangana state were regulated at ₹125 in Hyderabad city, now that limit has been increased to ₹300, that's why you have APTS doing such numbers for films nowadays. Endgame did ₹29cr NETT in AP/Nizam, that's equivalent of ~₹60-65cr today. Similarly TN and Kerala have around 50% increases. North India price increase is around 10-15% may be.

eh. he isn't asking to increase ticket price. right now say a 3D ticket is ₹325 & 2D is ₹295. the extra ₹30 is 3D charge, that isn't being reported in GROSS, that's usual practice here. reason that is given is that since distributor don't get any share from that, they don't report it.

it's so bad it's funny

Weekly is fine but I think 24th and 25th will be a lot lower than what @Shanks have. Argentina trend makes sense to me.

2.35. 2nd weekend will be 5.1-5.2M.

220K eve. should hit 350K SUN. 1.85M weekend.

~14.5 (+2%)

Unfortunately we don't have dailies here but I suppose they will be closer to Argentina in trend.

Disney cutting ticket prices, probably to improve admits but I think bad decision. Could potentially lead to missing EG record.

this doesn't seem right. 24th should be a lot lower and 26th a lot higher.

2nd weekend biggest ever for Hollywood likely. Endgame was ₹63cr. Avatar 2 is ₹39cr in 2 days, weekend should be ₹68cr range.

Demon Slayer to Japan. Record opening, great legs.

There are some films with 300/400M+ admissions in old days.

India and China usually are a lot alike. I think even in normal time China would have ended around 75-80M admits range for A2 vs 87M of EG.

This exactly why admissions. Admissions help avoiding not only inflation but also exchange rate issues. Its better to compare admission of 2012 film with 2022 vs their gross.
