I think France will win quite handsomely, the only competition I can think of is Japan animes and few old films.
Korea may reach 10 films as well. India I can only think of few more films; 3 Idiots, Lagaan, Dangal, Baahu 2 and Baahu 1 are confirmed IMO. Wild card entry perhaps DDLJ & Swades. So max I can think of is 12. May be a surprise 13.
France is already 9 in about 40 films. Should reach 25 perhaps.
Japan I expect around 20.
Spirited Away Japan (Re-release)
Week 0: $0.25mn
Week 1: $1.80mn
Week 2: $1.74mn
Week 3: $1.49mn
Week 4: $1.13mn
Weekend 5: $0.33mn (-31%)
Total: $6.76mn
Full run could go as high as $8.5-10mn.
Sports is just background. Its personal story of Kabir Khan that is the main theme.
Trailer still holds for a 13 years old film. Much better than Dangal for me.
I am not really KHNH fan. My favourite are;
1. DDLJ: Its Titanic basically.
1. Swades(This IMO is way better than Lagaan): SRK's acting, ARR's music which some of it he reused in Slumdog. And a great story.
1. Chak De India: Acting and Story.
Now list from here change time to time, this time I will put in a way you like the films best.
4. Baazigar
5. My Name is Khan
6. Veer Zaara
7. Rab Ne Banadi Jodi: The film is based on one small gimmick. Don't think about it much. Its simple, sweet and harsh.
8. Dil Se: Mani Ratnam & ARR.
9. KaNK: Long and not really good as per public, but I liked it. Guess you may.
10. Darr
Don't you give up watching 1st 3 atleast. DDLJ and CDI are on Prime while Swades is on Netflix.
No. No. No.
I wish it was higher. I thought it will be higher. You should watch it.
Andhadhun means blind rage.
But its supposed to be Andha Dhun which is Blind & Melody. The lead is blind who plays piano.
I think F9 will have a decline in China.
Hobbs and Shaw did 75% of FF8 in USA. In India about 75%. Japan 80%. Middle East 80%.
But China dipped to half. I know Europe also dipped 40% in Admits but they are hardly related to China. I think this is sign that may be China will go down the hype for F9. I am expecting just about 25% increase in China for F9. What say @A Marvel Fanboy
4 films so far. The list is in process.
I think considering Drishyam & Sholay made it, there must be 10+ films from India easily. 3 Idiots, Lagaan, Dangal, DDLJ, Andhadhun, Baahubali 2 and may be Baahubali 1.
Khan is muslim last name, there is big muslim population in India, though still minority at 13%.
It just happens to be that 3 biggest star in Bollywood are all Khans.
The whole second half is average. I also find Lagaan way way way overrated along with Dil Chahta Hai. Never watched Tare Zameen par, that looks preachy af.
That said 3 Idiots and Rang de Basanti are among my top 10 Bollywood easily.
Saturday: Dolittle 14mn I guess. Bloodshot 7mn. Coco 2mn mostly. Sheep without Shepherd 5mn.
Next weekend Enigma of Arrival has currently 1mn PS. Seems quite good, may be ¥100mn weekend.
