"Haunting in Venice" opened first with 2M euros, higher than the 1.8M of the previous and with better marketing and reviews. Let's see the legs now
I should also mention The Nun 2 which is doing really well and should outgross the first movie
I just watched Murder in Venice and I must say I liked it, better than the second and also shorter. In any case here it will easily gross more than the previous and I hope the rest of the world will follow
I also remember that at the end of the year Cineguru shows the highest grossing movies in the main cities and I can't wait to see the results in province of Venice, will it outgross Guardians of the Galaxy or The Little Mermaid? We'll see
In Italy Imax etc is basically irrilevant but in any case it surpassed Fallout which was the main target
But unfortunately if a film have a good result in 90% of the planet but not on the two largest markets (which are as big as all the rest) the final result can never be satisfying...
From 17 to 21 September tickets will cost just 3.50 euros due to the return of the event "Cinema in Festa"
In june admissions increased by a good percentage but not enough to increase the expected box office, let's see how it does this time
Highest grossing anime movies in Italy after the summer re-releases
1) Captain Harlock - 5.1 million euros
2) Pokemon 1 - 4.7 million
3) Pokemon 2 - 3.1 million
4) Stand By Me Doraemon - 2.6 million
5) Dragon Ball Super: Broly - 2.5 million
6) Spirited Away - 1.5 million
7) Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero - 1.4 million
8)Doraemon Movie n. 34 - 1.3 million
9) Doraemon Movie n. 35 - 1.2 million
10) The Wind Rises - 1.2 million
11) Jujutsu Kaisen 0 - 1.1 million
12) Howl's Moving Castle - 1.1 million
13) One Piece Red - 1 million
14) Ponyo - 980k
15) Dragon Ball Z: The Battle of the Gods - 960k (two days release)
The Wind Rises gained a position, while Howl Moving Castle and Ponyo joined the list
Some random news, Ninja Turtles open with 740k euros, Jeanne du Barry with 550k euros, and surprisingly The Meg 2 is going to outgross Mission Impossible 7
In the past week Barbie surpassed The Da Vinci Code, Bohemian Rhapsody, Joker, Ice Age 3 and Benvenuti al Sud in the official all time list reaching 30.2M
In the meantime The Meg 2 outgrossed the previous movie and Dead Reckoning did the same with MI: Fallout, with a chance to pass also Rogue Nation at 5.4M
I was finally able to watch the movie after waiting one month for the release, and I really liked it (despite the first hour being maybe a bit too slow)
I think it will surpass the 20M but I also don't know how the competition will do (Ninja Turtles, Gran Turismo etc)
Nothing official or particularly useful but I can easily see that it's considered very good (as it was for every other country). Like shown here
There was also an interesting article by "Rivista Studio" about Robert Downey Jr titled "much more than a superhero" but unfortunately I wasn't able to read it and now it seems deleted 🤷♂️
Barbie reached the 29M euros and Bohemian Rhapsody, while Blue Beetle opened with just 500k euros (lol)
On the 23 August instead we'll finally have the possibility to see Oppenheimer
