@terrestrial the above Australia and New Zealand are local currency.
Besides lost interest in tracking after watching the film. Just tracked the numbers today morning. Overseas weekend is $5.06 million, since all markets aren't reported on Rentrak/comScore, some markets are estimated based on historical numbers and my direct link with distributor.
Zero is looking at ₹27-30cr Net (₹35-38cr Gross $5-5.5mn) opening day going by initial pre-sales. That's a bit lower than what I expected but can pick up in the next 2 days.
Going by the early reports on content, the weekend would be ₹92-102cr Nett (₹118-130cr Gross $17-18.5mn).
I agree with him. Grinch, if follow Moana, will add $45mn plus till Christmas, considering $12.5mn plus this weekend.
$15mn post that won't be an issue, no matter how big it fell, especially when Holiday period is still there till New Year.
Ralph has underperformed big time IMO. I liked the original and coupled with Internet & Disney stuff, I was hoping for $250mn plus North America but right now $200mn seems like struggle.
In fact, being about 70% of The Grinch in daily numbers, will go lower further, is embarrassing.
Buzz is quite good, the film will open over 30cr nett but that's not a concern, the problem for SRK is word of mouth. He desperately needs good audience reception with this one.
Indian animation sucks. Sucks badly. Most of them are basically "mythological" or "religious" stories.
The highest grossing animation is Chaar Sahibzaade with just ₹28cr ($4.5mn). The second best is less than ₹7cr ($1mn).
Hollywood animation have their niche, only Incredible 2 is able to cross ₹50cr. No other film managed even ₹30cr.
Top Animation films in India
Just came out watching Spider Man: Into The Spider Verse, pretty sure its best Spidey film, however my favourite remain Homecoming. *hide*
Opening is poor in India, however, on expected note though, animations are weak here.
Was busy with 2.0 so couldn't focus on North America box office. 2.0 kind of did better than I was hoping, but its bomb anyway.
Spider Verse next weekend 😎
Sureshot $250mn plus for Aquaman in China. I won't be surprised with $300mn. ffs it has a 9.5 Maoyan score, over 3.25x weekend in full run is almost there.
