Yes, you're all right. 

 

I was talking only about Italy

 

My fault

LC?

 

Local Currency

[ITALY (Botteghino): 'Inside Out 2' is 7th biggest film of all time and biggest animated film ever!]

It's not going to make more than 7 M EU (8 M $) - at least 20% off what TASM2 made.

Moreover the LC has changed. By comparision TASM2 made 13 M $ (and Homecoming will be almost 40% off this) .

 

It could habe been worse but still it's nothing to be proud of.

[ITALY (Botteghino): 'Inside Out 2' is 7th biggest film of all time and biggest animated film ever!]

I guess it's bad. 

 

TASM in the same period (July) made 1,1 on OD. (ok, it had also the advantage of being still a 3D movie)

 

 

[SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING | 546.0 M overseas ● 880.2 M worldwide]

TASM had also 2014's ER. A great advantage. 

 

It has made +40% less than TASM in LC (also opening in July)

 

There's no way it matches  TASM or TASM2 in LC, let alone in $.

Oh yeah!

 

 

[Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle | December 22 2017 | Special showings for Amazon Prime members on December 8]

It's criticized only because of its name. If it were called "Welcome to the Jungle" people would say that it looks decent and a good action comedy for families.

Sub 50% is still very unlikely

 

Only a few superhero movies managed to do that

Mojo also doesn't count the $13m Thursday for POTC: At World's End as part of the Friday gross. Batman 89, Batman Returns, Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park 2 are some others with Thursday previews that are separated from the weekend.

 

I think they handled the Man of Steel Wal-Mart thing correctly given the fact it's a very unusual situation. I do think they should add the Thursday previews into the Friday grosses of POTC3, B89, BR, JP1, JP2, etc.

 

In that case POTC 3 would be 16-17 M, given the fact that 3 M are still considered as MS.

 

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2320&p=.htm

 

At the time the record was 16,9 M (SW ep 3), and the second was Spider Man 3 (9 M) 

 

 Also TF3 (I just noticed I had it at 13,5 M but 5,5 are considered by Mojo als Thur)

Don't forget, $12M of that OW came from that Wal Mart ticket thing.

 

No.

 

Wall MArt ticket thing (12 M) was extra OW.

 

The MS of MOS was 9 M, not 12 M.
