Not that I loved Soul but it was said to be best film of year by many and is the best reception for animation film I have seen till date. It's a shame animation films are snubbed this hard.
Monday hold was decent at 18M. A bit harsher than Potter's 58% drop. Tuesday is currently 5.25M, normally would be 12-13M, but I didnt checked Monday, so donno how will it be doing.
Nothing big releasing next weekend so hold should be good.
Am guessing 186M Week 1 and 50M 2nd weekend may be. 290M ($45M) closing perhaps. A good $36M lead over Endgame.
Thinking weekend
China - $80M
Japan - $10M
India - $5M
Russia - $4M
Taiwan - $4M
Australia - $4M
Korea - $3M
Middle East - $4M
South East Asia - $5M
LATAM - $7M I guess
Total - ~$127M
So about $1M T-16 days for a Wednesday. Since haven't tracked a medium range film this far out, so no idea what that means.
Also don't know if private screenings will be thing like they were for WW84.
But I guess $1M T-16 days shall means atleast atleast $4M final, may be $5M. That will point toward $7-10M OD.
From say 7 OD, we can go for 4.5 Thu, 7 Fri, 7 Sat and 5 Sun. 30M 5 days.
From 10, probably 45M.
I don't think anyone said or think Raya will actually breakeven. It hasn't released in half the world, that $150 P&A is for full release for big event films. Raya will be close to $50M, which it will mostly recover.
Holy Shit. Corpse is talking about 2M give aways sellout. Fuck it, its doing $400M Japan then. 42B.
$48M for current markets, will probably reach $52-53M, so yeah, won't need any other place now. If China goes crazy like Taiwan, $600M worldwide may be.
