  5. The only negative factor is the weakening euro.

     

    ...and the weaking average ticket price. No one here cares about 3D anymore (in fact average ticket price has fallen in the last years (from 6,41 to 6,02 Euro). 

     

    I have already underlined twice that:

     

    TA: average ticket price 8,4 Euro - attendance 2,133 M - tot 18,0 M 

    IM3: average ticket price 7,0 Euro - attendance 2,289 M - tot 16,1 M EU

     

    GOTG: average ticket price 6,8 Euro - attendance 0,833 M - tot 7,1 M EU

    TWS: average ticket price 6,7 Euro - attendancd 1,065 M - tot 5,7 M EU

     

    Moreover since 2013 in May there is the  week of  "Cinema's Celebration" (in which rickets are sold at the price of 3 Euro for 2D and 5 Euro for 3D)

     

    Another example is:

     

    TASM2 (releases in the same slot): average ticket price 6,3 Euro! - attendance 1,447 M - tot 9,2 M EU

     

    By comparision, 2 years earlier

     

    TASM: average ticke price 7,6 Euro - attendance 1,554 M - tot 11,8 M EU

     

     

    So. 

     

    AOU average ticket price 6,8 - in order to pass TA ----> attendance needed  2,65 M (+20 % vs TA)

    AOU average ticket price 7,0 - in order to pass TA ----> attendance needed 2,57 M 

    AOU average ticket price 7,2 - in order to pass TA ----> attendance needed 2,5 M (most likely scenario)

    AOU average ticket price 7,4 in order to pass TA ----> attendance needed 2,43 M (+14% vs TA)

     

    An increase in local currency on TA is everything but assured (by the way it's possible), let alone in $

     

    Sniper will close at about 19 M EU and AOU is everything but assured to pass it (by the way, it's possible)

     

     

    And, in all Italy, there are 3 IMAX screen.

  6. Moreover I am pretty concerned about the average ticket price of the latest Marvel Movies. It passed from 8.4 € (Avengers) to 7,0 € (Iron Man 3), to 6,75 € (Gotg and Tws). With that average Age of Ultron will need a big increase in attendance to pass TA in local currency (18 M €) and even a bigger one to pass it in $.

    • Like 1
  7. AS will pass for sure 19M € now. SAM should close above 15.8 M €. Exodus above 7 M €. TIG at about 8 M €.

     

     

    Brief Predictions 2015 ---- All datas in Euro. In order of release:

     

    Lock 10+ MLN €

    • 50 Shades of Grey: there are no true comparisions but the nearest I can see are High School Musical (+9 MLN €) and Twilight (+11 MLN €). A lot of curious people over 14 will watch it at the cinema.

    • Furious 7: the franchise has kept growing since the 4th entry (8,3 M € ---> 10,9 M € → 12,9 M €). This will for sure have a 12-15 M € result.

    • Avengers: AOU: Avengers did 18 M €. IM3, in 2013, did 16 M €. The only thing I am worried about is the average ticket price : TA had 8,43 EURO; IM3 7,03 EURO; TWS and GOTG about 6,75 EURO. AOU will likely have 6,9-7 EURO and if so, it will need a 20% increase in attendance to beat TA.

    • Minions: DM2 made 16M € 2 years ago. This won't make more but not that much less

    • Spectre: Skyfall made almost 13M €. Even if it loses some attendance, it's almost impossible to see it under 10 M €

    • Untitled Zalone's movie: if it ever get released in December, this won't have any problems becoming the most successful movie of the year. Zalone's last two entries made +43 M € and +51 M € respectively.

     

    Possible 10+ MLN €

    • Cinderella: Maleficent (14 M €) and OZ (8 M €) are the comparisions: do the math

    • Jurassic World: JP3 did 5,5 M EU back in 2001. This will have 3D plus inflation. 7-9 M should be achieved. Can it pass 10 M €? Maybe. I bet it won't.

    • Ted 2: the original made 11 M € in Oct 2012. If it keeps the June release it will be hard to pass 10 M but anyway possible

    • Hunger Games MP2: the finale effect always works here in Italy. Twilight Saga added 20% with BD 2. Thus is possible for this to add 15%.
