I know schedule is sh*t but this is a country where scifi spectacular did so much business: TF3, IM3, and PACRIM
All did in excess of $100M, and all were advertised heavily as 3D/IMAX Experience.
It will be an utter disappointment if GRAVITY only did $50M.
You know your own market. How would this one play in China?
China seems to be fond of more commercial features TF3, MI4,
PACRIM, IM3 - all did great numbers. GRAVITY is non-stop
action but this is not your typical action blockbuster.
UK $45M
China $70M
Japan $20M
TOTAL $135M combined
US remaining: $30M
OS remaining: $50M
--------------------------------
Total WW $641M
That is an incredible figure!
PS:
China's estimate is an enthusiastic one,
conservatively GRAVITY should do $50M.
But seeing how China loves spectacle,
I can confidently say that $70M is
very doable.
THOR 2 has enthusiastic response from Asia.
Somebody should have an aggregated East Asia
numbers. That is a substantial market if
combined: Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore,
Philippines, Thailand, China, Japan, Korea,
Taiwan, HK, and Vietnam.
THOR1 made $43M in East Asia without China
