  1.  

    Italy:
     
                              MJ1   vs CF      vs    THG 
     
    Wednesday:                   €0.63m  vs €0.59m
     
    Thursday:    €0.67m vs  €0.396m vs €0.084m

     

     

    THG should not be considered. It had a nice OD but then fell like a rock. CF is a perfect comparision (it would have been more perfect if they both opened on Wed). Mp1 is going to make 3,7-4M€ on OW

  2. Mockingjay OD $0.84m, almost on par with Catching Fire. That OD should lead to a $5m+ OW

     

    Interstellar did $0.18m on Thursday. It should do between $1.5m-$2m this weekend. It should pass $10m on Saturday. 

     

    In EU MokcingJay OD is better than CF

     

    Mp1 OD Thur: 670K EU

    CF OD Wed: 630K EU

    CF 2ndDay Thur: 395K EU.

     

    Today (Fri) Mp1 should do about 600K EU (750K $).

     

    IS -42%, it was expected, 1,5-7$ for the Weekend.

     

    Remeber that Penguins are coming on Sat on 350screens.

  3. CF made 5,9$M in its first 5 days (with an exchange rate of 0,73) (of which, 5M during OW). Mp1 should make 5$M in its OW (4 days).

    IS will be for sure above 10$M on Sunday. 13-14$M is now a realistic goal IMHO.

    On Saturday and on Sunday there will be "national premiere" of Penguins (that means that the movie will basically be out for two full days in a good number of theaters): I expect at least 2$M but it's difficult to predict.

  4. This is a very weak assumption.

     

    I don't think the name of the leading actor is the most important thing in a movie like Interstellar: it isn't a teen movie, the choice to see it or not depends more on the interest that you may have to the subject matter.

    However Interstellar's cast isn't so bad: McConaughey is the 2013 oscar winner, Damon, Hataway and Caine are widely known and also Chastain (oscar nominee) and Foy (already seen in final chapter of Twilight saga and in The Conjuring) aren't newbies.

     

    McConaughey has won an Oscar but that doesn't mean anything in a BO prospective (at least in Italy). Yes, more people know who he is nowadays than 5 years ago but most of the GA still doesn't recognize him.

     

    Damon

    isn't in the marketing.

     

    Hathaway had only a success here in Italy (Devil wears Prada) and I don't think the GA knows who she is.

     

    Foe? Do you think someone went to the cinema saying “Oh I am going to see IS because there is the actress who was in the last Twlight movie, my favorite movie.” Noone recognizes her. If there was Pattinson, it would have been another story.

     

    Caine was in all Nolan recent movies so he had more exposure than the others; but certainly not that much.

     

    Chastain? If I ask to 20 friends of mine who she is, two of them would say “Yes, I know her”.

     

    Shall we talk about DiCaprio?

    Here in Italy almost everyone loves him. GA appreciates him. His box office track is amazing. In Italy He has the Star Power. Maybe also Damon has some (but less), others actors above are not so-well known here.

     

    Then it's right to say “the name of the leading actor isn't the most important thing in a movie like Interstellar: it isn't a teen movie, the choice to see it or not depends more on the interest that you may have to the subject matter. “ but considering that we are in Italy, a well-known face would have attracted more people, that's a fact.

    Not a big success here in Italy, I honestly expected at least 7 mln EU; it's going to make no more than 6 mln EU.

     

     

    IS in now at +$4,3 M.

  6. Interstellar did 290k Euros on Thursday. That's more than DU (245k Euros on Thur) and GOTG (272k Euros on  Wed). The First made 2,3 mln Euro during the Weekend (4days), while the second made 2,35 mln Euro during 4 days weekend (of which, 234k on Thur.) (+Wed=2,6 mln in 5 days).

     

    If it follows similar pattern it could make 2,7 mln Euro (3,4 mln $). Inception made 2,6 mln Euro (at the time, 3,55 mln $) in its first Weekend (but that was 3days).

  8. Realistically, among the remainder of 2014, are there any movies you think can cross $20 million at least?

     

    $20 mln= 16 mln Euros

     

    Hollywood Movies:

    - Interstellar: Inception made almost 11 mln Euros in 2010. TDKR made 15 mln in 2012. This is a wild card, 16 mln is a stretch but possible (if it is good). CHANCE: 10%

     

    - Penguins of Madagascar: Madagascar is the most successful trilogy in Italy (more than TLOFR and all the others (http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/14102-italy-box-office-one-direction-where-we-are-won-the-weekend/?p=1685464 )

    Moreover PUSS in Boots retained most of the audience of Shrek 4 (all in Euros):

     

    Madagascar 2 25.09 mln

    Madagascar 3 21,91 mln

    Madagascar 21.20 mln

    Shrek 2 20.84 mln

    Shrek 3 20.24 mln

    Shrek 4 17.02 mln

    Puss in Boots 16.31 mln

     

    (http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/14102-italy-box-office-one-direction-where-we-are-won-the-weekend/?p=1685468)

     

    CHANCE for 16 mln Euros: 50%

     

    - The Hobbit 3: the first made 16,41 mln, the second 12,79 mln. So 16 mln Euros is possible. CHANCE: 70%

     

    Italian Movies:

    - La scuola più bella del mondo (The most beautiful School in the World): the director of Benvenuti al Sud (30 mln Euros), Benvenuti al Nord (27 mln) e Un Boss in salotto (12 mln) works with 2 famous and popular actors here in Italy. CHANCE: 15%

     

    - Il ricco, il povero e il maggiordomo (The Rich, the poor and  the butler): the most popular trio of comedians is back and it has an impressive track record: their movies made 17 mln in 1997, 23 mln in 1998, 29 mln in 2000, 23 mln in 2002, 16 mln in 2004, 13 mln in 2008, 22 mln in 2010. All datas are in euros. CHANCE: 85%

  9. Maleficent being the highest grossing film of the year with just $19 million seems to be awfully low.

    Any reason why this year is so weak? 

     

    There isn't any big franchise anymore. There is no HP, no POTC and they don't care that much of The Hobbit and the new Spider Man. Italian Comedies tend to make less than what they used to do (Zalone's excluded).

     

    September 2014: admissions 5,710290 mln (-22,5%)

    September 2013: admissions 7,367742 mln

     

    As of 31 Sept. 2014: admissions 61,313 mln (-1,6%)

    As of 31 Sept. 2013: admissions 62,326 mln

     

    The gap is going to increase. Last year we had SOLE A CATINELLE and its 8 mln admissions.
