I am MCU fan. I will speak for my fandom with whatever facts I can find.

Admissions higher than Avatar. LC higher than Titanic & Avatar (If we have fixed ER for all countries, EG will be ahead).

Titanic is G.O.A.T. These Star Wars, GWTW, Jaws, etc were just western phenomenon. Titanic was bonkers West and East. The true blue worldwide phenomenon, that we will never see, save for MCU pulling something incredible next decade. Titanic final is equivalent to Endgame opening, destroyed worldwide records.

My MCU mates, hear me and rejoice. We are no laymen, who need to wait for official updates or just dollar values to understand box office. We all know how important factor Exchange rates are; and we also know Endgame is already the biggest of all time. Not only local currencies; we have admissions record handily. If Endgame do that $2.79 Billion, good. If Not, its already the biggest of all time.

Aladdin Friday: ₹5.06cr Saturday: ₹7.74cr Sunday: ₹9.22cr Total: ₹22.02cr / $3.17 million +125% BaTB +315% Dumbo - 61% The Jungle Book Shall go for ₹34-35cr Week One & ₹60cr / $8.75mn Approx full run depending on next week hold.

I was talking about Domestic. Overseas was expected due to May Day.

local currency. China, Mexico, Uk, Philippines, are similar. Russia, Germany & France Maleficent slightly higher in lc. Rest Aladdin ahead.

Wolf Warrior would be #3 I believe Transformers #4

I was watching the TV spots on India channel of Disney and gosh they had such entertaining stuff but wasted with those stupid trailers.

29.5-29.75 (31.3 29.7 29.5 : 90.5) 8.75 6.5

Let's be fair to them. I for most of my expectations made stance that, EG increase on IW will come from weekend only. When that 357 happened, I was still thinking of 800-850 full run, but the Monday was absolutely crazy. That's when I lost my mind and started expecting 975mn+, though not for long, just a week after, I was at 900 and another week bring me down to 870s.

It didn't had Godzilla.

Read again.

Solo had 57% drop from true FSS. We can expect 50-55% from Aladdin I guess. $37-41mn Approx. Let's pinpoint to $38-40mn.

I will try to put some views on Avatar and Chinese market expansion. Avatar grossed ¥1.34 Billion in China in 2010 which was roughly 3x of previous highest grosser 2012. That 3x is big trivial fact but I think It isn't that big thing as we are making it and many feeling that Avatar 2 may do the same to say FF8. Now why I don't think it is. I will give my reasonings from China and an case study from India. Avatar did ¥1.34 Billion in 2010, Immediately next year Transformers 3 did ¥1.07 Billion. In 2012 Lost in Thailand did ¥1.02 Billion. In 2013 Journey to West did ¥1.24 Billion. Now the point of what I am saying is that, yeah Avatar did 3x of previous highest grosser, but it wasn't followed with films resuming to same ¥40mn ceiling. The films in subsequent years did similar numbers as to Avatar, with JtW actually doing Avatar admissions. Avatar wasn't just one off, it was followed by other films closely and eventually crossed in 2014 with ¥1.97 Billion, ¥2.42 Billion in 2015 and then local films take over. If Avatar was special case, we would have gone to same 50-60mn range for the big films. This also nullify the fact that it will do, what it managed to do in 2010 i.e. 3x of previous highest grosser. Bollywood also had a big grosser in Dec 2009, 3 Idiots (₹267cr), which did roughly 2x the non-Aamir gross of highest grosser that time. India has comparatively higher inflation than rest of world. The business in normal was growing from ₹1670cr in 2009 to ₹3770cr in 2013. Today the highest grosser is Dangal (₹511cr) but that has to do with inflation as well as admissions wise Dangal is 36mn while 3 Idiots was 32mn. This is when release size today is 5000 screens, in 2009 it was 2000. Reason is that, for whatever the market is, population is still there to consume product. e.g. a city of 100,000 people had one screen in 2009, that screen will remain rushed but it has 100,000 audience to capture and might get 10,000 of them. If you make 3 screens, people are still 100,000, the people watching film will remain around 10-15k only, with average going down. Today, the highest grosser is ¥5.7 billion approx in China and that's coming from the regular growth of market. Not that it took time to first overcome Avatar and then reached here. For Hollywood that number is ¥4.25 Billion. The target for A2 will be to first cross Endgame and then local films. Its not 2009 anymore where the biggest grosser of a country of 1.3 Billion was just 10mn admissions, its 160 million and that's perhaps how big it goes in today's digital time. @NCsoft

Actually, Aladdin is ahead of Maleficent in most market, save for that Maleficent had softer exchange rates than Aladdin.

TLK main channel had 17mn views on 24 hours. There were various other uploads. Disney India uploads stands at 16mn. Twitter views were huge as well. My timeline was as it was an semi Avenger trailer.

It had record opening for horror. Also there was anomoly as Facebook views were higher than normal. Fifty Shades; 1) porn 2) it did opened huge.

Holidays from 2nd June to 8th June. 2nd weekdays will be huge for Aladdin.
