I guess over $1.2mn will be enough for Saaho to be #1 on its opening day. The buzz with trade is that it will open to $1.5-2mn. No Indian film have ever officially topped a single day at Indian boxoffice. Baahubali 2 topped Thursday, but it was rolled into Friday, where it was less than Fast 8. So history await folks.

It didn't in Pakistan as well.

Egypt Week 34: https://www.elcinema.com/en/boxoffice/2019/34 Great 2nd week for Welad Rizk 2. Hardly any drop and that to with over EGP30mn 2nd week. So now it may actually cross EGP 100mn before Blue Elephant 2, which also had very good Week 4. This reminds me of Indian box office in 2008. Rab Ne Banadi Jodi released in mid-December, was trending to become first ever 100 crore Nett Grosser. In its 3rd Week Ghajini released, blasted all opening records, and crossed 100 crore. RNBJ was affected by the release of Ghajini and missed 100cr by 15%, here Blue Elephant 2 may not miss.

That's not actual admissions, but estimated from the ticket price National average by NATO. The figure I posted is more close to actuals. I am the source for India, you won't find any better. hardly an difference. My source is Insidekino on this. That was a typo. Corrected. http://lumiere.obs.coe.int/web/film_info/?id=8001&market=GR Thanks for this. Added.

So I worked on Titanic numbers, there is only $50mn worth markets which are left, will try to fill them too soon. The current total for $2137mn is 386mn admissions. Taking the optimistic estimates, The remaining $50mn would be close to 20mn admissions. That gives 405 million total admissions. The initial run will be close to 365mn, with 3D re-release accounting for 40mn admissions. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TH-Ls41nH4q1ap1ZLLdtIL7ZvBZLUPNyCBnGymiERFE/edit#gid=424252602 That makes Titanic biggest in last 3 decades and Endgame the biggest single run ever.

The world cinema changed in mid 90s, IMO its better to compare the films in these last three decades only. So I am leaving films released before that out of it. As I said Chinese local films could be different monster altogether. Indian film Sholay has over 325mn admits in just India and USSR. Chinese could be even bigger.

It was based on fact that GWTW was thing only in West, with almost negligible numbers in Asia. On side note, I recently come to know about the Cinema in China pre 1990s had ridiculous amount of admissions due to mobile/public cinemas. So it is totally likely if some film has over 400mn admissions in China itself.

Titanic #1 Endgame #2 GWTW #3

Race 3 is par Furious Evil

Mission Mangal very big jump on Tuesday. Weekend: $1,522,399 Monday: $103,332 Tuesday: $250,000 Total: $1,775,700

Dhoom 2 is better than all Fast and Furious films. Including second half.

Most watched films worldwide in last 25 Years. Titanic: 405mn (Including 40mn 3D re-release) Avengers: Endgame: 390mn Avengers: Infinity War: 300mn Approx Avatar: 289mn Star Wars: The Force Awakens would be around 220mn Approx

Now reason I say Avatar is weakest ATG in recent time is this; Titanic in 1990s had precedence of over 400mn admissions. While in 2010s Avatar was barely 60% of Titanic. And now after another 10 years, when theatrical windows are much smaller across the world; Endgame has managed to near 400mn, when no film crossed 300mn in last 22 years since Titanic, may be Infinity War is close by. Ironically, Avatar is the one which is crossed by least margin.

In the Interim Titanic numbers; Countries worth $2.08 Billion has 380 million approx admissions. The remaining $110 million is mostly from Asian countries, so its rather tough to estimate as on one hand you have India with ATP of $0.6 while China is at $2.25 compared to $3 and $6 today. One thing is certain, that its over 400mn. Most likely in vicinity of 425mn. The Biggest Theatrical Blockbuster of all Time.

So pre-sales are par Venom and trend as well. Hopefully reception ain't that good. Its time for evil to be defeated.

AB 2 jump is also 73% ridiculous.

Good Boys: 3.1 H&S: 2.1 TLK: 2.05 AB2: 1.75 Spider-man: 0.455

Only thing I can think of is that it added only 30k (75%) shows after T-3 days.

I think ¥63-65mn final. Using The Meg PSM ¥160mn OD. The Meg pre-sales T-3 day: ¥19.8mn T-2 day: ¥23.2mn T-1 day: ¥28.3mn Final: ¥40.7mn

275mn or so

Everything dropped ~60-65%

IT 2 and then Frozen 2.

Ne Zha USA release 29th August. Will release in IMAX 3D.

Here's to the new Asgardian. @DeeCee @Water Bottle @grim22
