That will destroy the prospect of Dragon 2 there. Too bad for Dreamworks, the studio that used to bring the Transformers movies....

Bond = absurd, gradiose story. Have you even watched the rest of the Bond series?

You mean Star Trek Into Darkness? A rogue agent got loose and seeks to destroy the organization he used to belong?

That is quite a range....

You are not stupid. This movie does require you to have a little bit of pop culture knowledge. I find it the most interesting movie to come down in a while. The ending is dark, heartbreaking, and beautifully depressing. It kinda startling to see ScarJo's true physical form.

Gravity >>> Avatar but seriously, Avatar 3D > Gravity 3D

Apes in 3D is very disappointing indeed. And the best use of 3D in movies is still James' Avatar. I just saw Avatar on 3D bluray again last week, and the depth of field created there is still superior to the current batch of heavily promoted 3D features, including The Hobbit movies.

$45M is low for a movie that is a smash hit in many countries. But considering China's taste in movies (SH & giant robots), that gross is pretty substantial.

This is a more thoughtful action drama than your typical SH movies. Plus, there are some really frightening stuff in it: "You follow Koba now.." sends chill down everybody's spine. A young kid cried (why do parents bring young children to movies with "intense, frightening scenes" in it?).

GTFO!!!

3 weekends away...too late

Expect good to very good drop next weekend

PR is a fan-boy movie, very front-loaded.

Monstrous!

And Chinese actors & actresses.

"XMen is gonna suck..."

It's not likely to hit $600M WW now, it seems. World Cup & TF4, not a very good timing by Dreamworks, and their counter-programming didn't work that well for some reason.

"Dammit, I am in the wrong movie...."

Yea, but it is not doing Alice's number. More than my estimate of $170M. It's a success all around

Will be interesting to see WDAS take on this kind of story Aren't PacRim & TF1/2/3 already a bunch of movies about boys with their gigantic...toys?

Dragon 2 may not do as well as KFP2 which did an amazing $500M OS. But No. 3 is already in the planning anyway so....everybody gets to keep their job

Re: Dragon 2 I have always thought that this could gross $30M+

Aggregate for Asian markets China $116.5M S Korea $33.7M Japan $9.6M India $9.3M Singapore $7.4M Philippines $7.0M Malaysia $6.6M Hong Kong $6.5M Thailand $3.5M Taiwan no data Indonesia no data Total $200.1M That is 40% of OS total without Taiwan & Indonesia (which is a huge market if the studios know how to market their films there.) South East Asia alone has a robust population of more than 600 million people.
