Peninsula Opening Weekend South Korea: $13.2 million Taiwan: $4.8 million Vietnam: $1.15mn (not sure of these are weekend #s or pre-sales) Malaysia: $0.85mn Approx Singapore: $0.65mn Approx Total: $20.65mn Admits: 3.2mn Official:

Spirited Away (Re-release) Week 0: $0.247mn Week 1: $1.801mn Week 2: $1.744mn Week 3: $1.490mn Weekend 4: $475k Approx (-42%) Total: $5.757mn

A decent PS film popping up too, 9 days out, around 13k sales. Steel Rain 2. First film had a decent 4.45mn admits in 2017.

I think 160,000 is possible today, roughly 94% of The Lion King and 32% of Train To Busan. If it add 94% of The Lion King from here on, it will reach 4.125 million, while 32% of Train To Busan will see it at 3.8 million. That's no change from what we were seeing in weekend, but I think it can do better than TTB 2nd week drop, as that faced a big film. I think Week 0: 578k Week 1: 1785k Week 2: 1200k Week 3 onward: 700k Total: 4260k plus.

and First $100,000 in Months done just now, overall $325k so far. I think full day should see $1 million.

And finally we have numbers. A First Farewell all set to cross $100k in some time. Currently at $95k. Number of shows listed are 2321 so far, let's see how much more through weekend. Coco currently at #3 with $34,000.

Vietnam reported numbers look like $1.1 million Approx. So worldwide weekend will be $20.5-21mn range. Korea: $13.2mn Taiwan: $4.8mn Vietnam: $1.1mn Singapore and Malaysia: $1.5mn Approx Total: $20.6mn Edit: Not sure if its true, but release date in Vietnam is said to be 24th July, so the reported numbers are Pre-sales may be. But Gitesh mentioned 5 Asian markets, so I assume it released there.

Taiwan $4.8mn 5 days weekend. Singapore and Malaysia shall be $1.5mn. $19.5mn Worldwide weekend.

Monday PS down bigly. Just 13k. Pre-sage 140-160k.

Beauty and The Beast over Aladdin over The Lion King over Toy Story films

Train To Busan Korea: $82.7 million Taiwan: $11.8 million Hong Kong: $8.5 million Malaysia: $5 million Singapore: $3.8 million Brazil: $2.25 million France: $2.2 million Thailand: $2.2 million USA: $2.13 million Vietnam: $1.85 million Indonesia: $1.3 million Mexico: $1.3 million Australia: $0.8 million Argentina: $0.8 million Japan: $0.6 million Rest: $3.75 million Total: $131 million

but yeah, budget is huge for a Korean film and it's better than an original film with some buzz coming from Train To Busan I guess.

Guess Pixar can go up 7 or even 9 with Toy Story, Inside Out, Wall E still remaining. I don't like Monster Inc. that much, but that will also make it. Hopefully Incredibles make too.

I thought it will top but now am 100% sure it won't. Not even in Top 10.

Sunday PS of 68k suggest 420k. Hopefully its better than that.

Nice but too low. This and 12 Angry Men should be in Top 20 at least.

Just finished it an hour ago, what a coincidence. It was pretty great.

I wonder if there's any limit to capacity in play in Korea ( @imbruglia may tell us) . The affect wasn't visible in trend, as with limited capacity, the daily drop and growth would be limited as well, but we saw big drop and big growth on Saturday. Anyways, Saturday looks like 530k, better than expected but still I hoped previous days were better. Anyhow, let's wait how PS are for tomorrow. Per show occupancy was 40 person per show, which is, well good IMO in this period. Endgame in its 1st Saturday had 125 person per show, which I guess would be very close to capacity, may be 90%, so Peninsula works out at 29% Approx. I still expect 4mn range full run. That will be around $29mn Approx. Taiwan opening was big at $800k on Wednesday. Guess weekend may be $3.25mn weekend. Singapore and Malaysia may be another $800-900k each.

I don't know what you mean by MC. Rang De Basanti is actually a Punjabi word and lead is a Punjabi guy and Punjabi singer sang that test.

Yeah Oscar buzz would have worked well in February release but even without that $5.5mn in Taiwan for a non-English film suggests $150mn plus easily.

Saturday seems like okay with 510-520k. Comparing with TLK and Train To Busan, it's quite uneven comp with TLK as it played bigger during Saturdays and Sundays. Comparing with Train to Busan, it was 40% on OD but fell during next two days, getting back to 40% again today. But I guess that's more due to Saturdays getting bigger in almost every country of world and Train To Busan would have capacity problems on it's Saturday as it was doing around 1.3mn admits. I expect weekdays to go in around 30-35%, full run could be around 3.8-4mn.

Rang De Basanti is great. It's my 2nd fav Aamir Khan film (co-incidentally had 3 Idiots 3 leads in the cast). Basically tells story of a group of young people fighting against System in India when something tragic happens, with parallels drawn to group of Freedom fighters against British atrocities against Indians during late 1910s, specially Jallianwala Bagh Massacre where British killed over 1200 people during a peaceful gathering.

Week 15 11-17 July 2020 Movies Castaway on the Moon: 7/10. American Beauty: 7/10. Pan's Labyrinth: This is a fantasy film with a teen lead, the two things I absolutely love and still it end up like ehh. War angle of the film is more interesting than fantasy. Grossly overrated. 4/10. Jackie Brown: Very good but among QT's bottom tier. 7/10. Greyhound: Well paced and runtime, Hanks is good as always. Looks cheap though. 6/10. Cast Away: Brilliant. 8/10. Palm Springs: To watch a film without knowing nothing about them. On top of that time loop. This was so good. It did the Dark's Adam Eve thing in super romantic way and it is even better. 8/10. The King of Staten Island: I mean, ok. Not good but not bad either. Lead is ugh. At one time his fight with his sister was looking like a porno fight.4/10. The Thing: A horror film in which characters don't do dumb things. Brilliant. 8/10. 21 Jump Street: Funny. 7/10. 22 Jump Street: Not Funny. 2/10. Bridge of Spies: I love Tom Hanks and Spielberg's "based on true story"(s). 8/10. Captain Phillips: The film is good. But won't it make more sense to have arms on ship to avoid being getting pirated than wasting so much more money on the rescue. Also seems like Phillips wasn't the hero in real life as he is made in the film, so -1. 6/10. Into The Wild: A fucking 150 mins of boredom in this story of a un-likeable jerk leading upto nothing. 4/10.
