Frozen is undoubtedly biggest animation brand IMO. I am not disaspointed with opening as there is reason of pre-holiday, that too because it had pre-sales justifying its brand status. But it ending under 500 is surely a disaspointment, In fact $550mn if you have Indian parent expectations strictness. ( @a2k @Lordmandeep @grim22)

Frozen 2 isn't supposed to grow just on the ground of being a sequel, it should have exploded as in rest of world except Japan where it is at saturation level, due to consolidation of brand, something I have only realised in Shrek & DM (Minions Brand).

It might be later, Maoyan realtime is faulty. Did it froze in late hours?

I think they were 8. Even with 6.8, less than 4x PSm is bad. Tomorrow PS are just at 5.75mn at moment, translate to 20. Say another 30mn in next two days. 447mn Week 1. Ralph 2 rebounded after week Weekdays, doing 2.4x weekdays in 2nd weekend. Need something like that, if not say goodbye to $100mn

How about 70

I hope you read my next comment as to why I said that. I know that came vague.

Frozen come in 2013, a kid of 12 back then is 18 now. That's good enough.

exactly. 2Bn so far is club of films loved worldwide. TFA did majorily on strength of four-five markets (high ticket priced). EG, Titanic, IW (to an extent) and Avatar did numbers almost everywhere.

Perhaps 230

It was already in 2015 when TFA did that.

In last around 28 days, it has added just $3mn in previews, which IMO is very low. I don't have any comp (may be @grim22 could help us checking TLJ and TFA Wang numbers or other source which was there at that time). Say it add another 3mn in next 2 Weeks, which is optimistic, it will need to add another 19mn in last 11 days for 40mn, which sounds like tough.

As solid as this argument is. I will project Frozen 2 to Frozen as Shrek 2 was to Shrek or DM 2 was to DM. What is common in these three, the original established a brand, which grow over the year, as seen in rest of world in case of Frozen 2 (ffs in India, you know how bad animations are, it crossed F1 lifetime in one day). Now 400mn in 2013 wasn't as big as that it was at saturation level, so expecting a bumper growth is totally normal. And Incredibles 2 happened in 2018, so its not like an animation can't do 600. On closing note, if boxoffice was game of precedence, explain how Endgame opens 357mn and 1200mn whatever worldwide for a 23rd film in a franchise.

Actually I think 50 is completely off the table. It's been 32 days since sale start and 18 is kind of low number IMO. Granted there are still 25 days to go, but the pace really need to pick up in last 7-10 days for 40mn plus.

I agree, but I didn't had problem with just climax, it overall felt like was nothing much story wise. I would have discussed more if there was a spoiler thread, but I felt they tried to over-cater to Japan, understandbly so. Music is awful.

same

If you have capability to score 90+ marks but you score just 75, that however good is still an underperformance. Idk how is it in West, but a 75 in such case is deemed awful in India. Similarly, TLK was easiest 2 Billion ever, in fact, better bet to beat Titanic or even Avatar at starting of year, and it didn't even pass Jurassic World, ugh.

F1 Friday Admits > F2 but Gross wise F2 is ahead. Why is that? ATP for weekend seems same for both films. Edit: Is it 332k for Frozen 2, that will make sense.

Idk, you are trying to make it look as a good case scenario, sounds like awful numbers

Not TS 4 and Frozen 2. Frozen 2 basically due to pre-holiday opening. Ultron and TLK are.

Turkish Cinema has good market?

Oh come on. It's just 250k.

In the above context, I meant that Frozen wasn't just a blockbuster in Japan. There are many Blockbusters every year, but what Frozen did in Japan is unique. We, in India, say them All Time Blockbuster. Baahubali, Baahubali 2, Gadar (2001), DDLJ (1995), HAHK (1994) are the recent ATBBs.

that's just reported chains admits. TS4 Sunday was 808mn while F2 2 days is 1616mn, which means, Saturday was just ¥825mn.

Looking at data, I think 41.95 49.85 37.75 129.55
