Tesseract

Avengers total in The Netherlands: €5,069,539. The first superhero movie to pass the €5M mark here.

Prometheus in The Netherlands:Weekend 1: €545,494Weekend 2: €280,059 (-48.7%)Total: €1,010,463All movies dropped hard this weekend thanks to Euro 2012. The Dutch team played on Saturday evening, and 44.5% of the population watched the match on TV (we lost). Prometheus' drop was actually one of the best (e.g. MIB3, TD, TA all dropped more than 55%).

Marvel's The Avengers: $7.8 million from 54 territories representing 95% of the market. International cume = $824.4 million. Worldwide cume = $1,396,300,000. OS week had a 28% drop. If it continues to hold this strong it may end somewhere between $860M and $870M.

I mentioned The Avengers for reference for The Netherlands because it is the biggest movie of the year by FAR here (and it's not done yet). If it does half of The Avengers it would still be the 4th biggest movie of the year so far.

TA's 1.9M would be an excellent 25% drop from last week...

First week (Thu-Wed) in The Netherlands: €730,348.For reference: The Avengers made €1,690,378 in its first week.

That's TA's first weekday above TDK. I wonder if it can maintain this trend and stay above TDK in the weekends as well...And a 32% weekly drop is not half bad either.

The Avengers in The Netherlands:Weekend 1: €1,125,704Weekend 2: €1,103,407 (-2.0%)Weekend 3: €527,179 (-52.2%)Weekend 4: €497,637 (-5.6%)Weekend 5: €155,438 (-68.8%)Weekend 6: €149,799 (-3.6%)Total: €4,962,302 --> EXACTLY the same as TDK's final score.

Prometheus opened with a promising €545.494 weekend in The Netherlands. Quite good, half of the opening weekend of The Avengers.

BOM updated the OS total to $246,918,978.

Also: no more heatwave in Europe.

Yes, "The International Weather Thread" is growing fast!

http://www.screendai...e&contentID=610 Men in Black 3 took over box offices worldwide this weekend, opening with an estimated $132m internationally and an estimated $55m in North America for a global tally of $187m. The global opening total is expected to top $200m by the time grosses for Monday’s Memorial Day US holiday are added in. The third installment of Sony’s action comedy franchise was released through Sony Pictures Releasing International (SPRI) in 22,435 screens in 103 international markets and opened at number one in 101 of them. It was in fast expanding new markets and Asia that the film did best, with European results being affected by a sudden outbreak of sunny weather. China was the biggest individual territory, with an estimated gross of $20.6m from 6,073, topping the recent opening in the market of The Avengers and making the film Hollywood’s seventh biggest opener ever in China. Russia came a close second with $18.8m from 1,547 screens, representing a market share of 86%. Korea followed with $8.5m from 950 screens and Japan with $8m from 980. Mexico produced $5.9m from 1,750, Germany $5.7m from 992 and France $5.6m from 889. Australia contributed $5.3m from 593, Brazil $5m from 842 and the UK $5m from 1,242. IMAX screens produced $6.1m of the international total and the giant screen company is projecting that by the end of Monday Men in Black 3 will have taken $12.5m globally from IMAX locations, a new Memorial Day weekend record. The opening puts the 3D sequel, which reportedly cost $250m to produce, on course to improve on the international performance of Men in Black 2, which managed $251.4m internationally in 2002. The original Men in Black took $338.7m outside North America in 1997. Previous international champion The Avengers, from Marvel Studios, took an estimated $26.3m this weekend from 54 territories representing about 95% of the international market. That brought the film’s international total to $781.6m, making it the fourth biggest international performer of all time, just ahead of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Dark Shadows, from Warner Bros Pictures International, took an estimated $13.1m this weekend, from 5,100 screens in 53 markets, for an international total to date of $106.6m. The horror comedy dropped only 38% over its second weekend in Japan, taking $3.2m from 572 screens, for a total in the market of $13m. The Dictator, from Paramount Pictures International (PPI), grossed $11.8m in its second weekend (53% down from the first weekend) from 2,928 locations in 29 international markets, for an international total so far of $50.3m. The best result came from Australia, where the comedy was down 48% to $2.6m from 231 locations, for a local total to date of $9.7m. The UK heat wave led to a 66% drop in that territory, to $1.8m from 499 engagements, for a local total of $12.1m. Universal’s American Pie: Reunion grossed an estimated $3.3m from 3,500 locations in 40 territories through UPI, for an international total so far of $165.5m. Also from UPI, Battleship added an estimated $2.9m from 5,800 dates in 49 territories, bringing its international total to $232.7m; The Five-Year Engagement took an estimated $1m from 380 dates in seven territories for a total of $7.7m; and Hanni & Nanni 2 grossed an estimated $400,000 from 630 dates in Germany (its home market), Austria and Switzerland for a total of $2.1m. UPI opened Moonrise Kingdom in the UK and Ireland and took an estimated $400,000 from 163 dates, for seventh place in the local top ten. Fox International’s Best Exotic Marigold Hotel crossed the $80m mark internationally, earning $853,000 from 557 screens in 14 markets. And the studio’s The Descendantstook $386,000 in Japan, bringing the film’s international total to $93m. Fox’s Titanic 3D added $320,000 for an international total of $286m, which includes $145m from China.

11m/12m would be a 147%/170% jump. But I agree that it seems too much.It would be a 28%/21% weekly Friday drop when business should be shifting from weekends to summer weekdays.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but her "not a record" statement referred to the opening Friday. She was right. It was not a record because DH2 opened higher. Her numbers were "slightly" off, but the statement was correct. It broke most other records, but not this one.

That's approximately a 28.4003944% weekly drop!

You don't fudge and then drink champagne as though it were a real accomplishment

Wow, it is sprinting towards $400M now!

Probably true . They may be slightly less obsessed about milestones like $600M than we though. Will they drink any less champagne if it ends up at $599M?

$10.6M represents a 30% weekly drop from last Friday. If it manages to do that, we can start uncorking the champagne bottles...

$4M would be a 36.9% drop from Wednesday last week. That would be excellent!

Maybe last Monday "donated" some of its money to the preceding weekend so that it could achieve the global $1B mark after the weekend.

No, we get a solar eclipse every day. It's when the Earth obstructs your view of the Sun. We call it "Night".
