Its start wasn't anything spectacular but it could have done a lot worse. WOM is mixed here. I don't see it having spectacular holds the next few weeks. Nightfall and A Simple Life are still pulling their weight although both seem to be losing steam. Nightfall is headed for about 2.2m while A Simple Life should close with about 3.3m. Love in the Buff had strong pre-sales which bodes really well for next weekend. Terrible for Jack and Jill.

I don't see them wanting to go up against the Titanic/Easter movies/Battleship combo. It's too much competition. Not everything can overperform based on the DOM success.

Nice work for Nightfall. I was expecting it to be closer to A Simple Life. Instead, it widened the gap. A Simple Life seems to be running on fumes now. Still poor for Jack and Jill. That small increase isn't comforting for John Carter. It'll be lucky to break $100,000 for the weekend now.

Anyways, no one seems to be running away with this. Very tight between the top 3 in admissions. It looks like The Hunger Games is playing well with families and couples as the 4 main showtimes all seem to be close to each other. Its admissions number for the midnight showing is fantastic as well. A Simple Life is doing good in daytime showtimes although night shows still seem to be a soft spot. Morning shows haven't been as robust as the last 2 weeks for it.

I still think it will pass 26k today. A Simple Life has been slowly dying in pre-sales this weekend. I wonder if it will pick up with walk-ins today. Bigger falls expected today and Sunday. Nightfall seems steady but it will have harsher drops today and tomorrow. Love in the Buff could possibly hit top 3 today. I wouldn't count it out to slip past Nightfall for #2 today. Big dive by The Iron Lady.

:lol: You just convinced me with that line.

Just wondering...why do you want me (and SentryTrans for that matter) to get an avatar?Speaking of A Simple Life...thanks for the reminder.

I didn't like that Community episode very much. Only laughed at Dean Pelton's Renee Zellweger line.

LOL. B)Well, you are going to hate me later when I add in admissions and more categories into the table.

I did. It says $20m estimate.No, I just don't feel like getting one.

Awesome stuff from MI4.

Thanks, fixed.Intouchables opens in Greece, Portugal and Taiwan next week.

It is aiming for a $700,000 beginning. Nightfall had a solid hold although its drop will get bigger this weekend. A Simple Life did well; it should also expect a bigger fall this weekend as Love in the Buff gets special screenings. Terrible for John Carter. 2m will probably still happen unless if the Love in the Puff sneaks manage to kill its Saturday/Sunday gross. Bad all around for Jack & Jill, Love Lifting and The Second Woman. The Iron Lady had another iffy hold. No one cares for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Awful for Carnage. Love in the Buff is getting mostly full day sneak previews at almost every location. Pre-sales have been very good. It is going to rank #4 this weekend.

A Simple Life is doing great pre-selling. Nightfall is doing good as well. From this table, Nightfall is having really good night shows while A Simple Life is crushing everything in the daytime. The Hunger Games is playing strongly throughout the day so it looks like families and couples are providing the majority of business.

firedeep is predicting an April release in China.

It's possible but I don't see any competition for The Hobbit in Asian markets. Twilight is not that popular in Asia so Hobbit will have the winter to itself.

Hunger Games should do well in Europe. I don't think it will catch on in Asia though.

I consider Russia as Europe. YMMV.Prince of Persia was based off of a popular video game. John Carter was an original film. Pretty telling that Prince of Persia scored higher without 3D than John Carter with 3D in the majority of markets I listed above. TASM has a lot going for it. Spider-Man is the most popular superhero in Asia + you've got crazy market expansion now from many Asian territories. Being the first big film to release is also great for its OW. The only real drawback that people have been hammering like crazy at is the reboot factor. I don't think the reboot factor will be a big deal overseas (especially with Asia).Spider-Man 3 broke a ton of records in Asia. In South Korea, it made 10m OW. Those records I talked about previously all point to one thing: Spider-Man is a huge deal in Asia. Now when you add in 3D prices and the 5 years of market expansion, I honestly would not be surprised if Spider-Man breaks Transformers 3's OW records in Asia.

Raylan having trouble writing his speech...GOLD. This season has been very good. If the last few episodes are like the first two seasons with a fade-out of "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" at the end of season 3, I'll be satisfied.

It really should have done better here but Nightfall/A Simple Life remain as formidable competition. I'm sure Philippines/Singapore and other Asian territories will do big business. The Hunger Games will do solid business this weekend. Most theaters are leaving it with full-day showtimes even though Love in a Buff is getting full day special screenings. Nightfall/A Simple Life are the films getting cut instead. Some have even gave Hunger Games 2 screens this weekend so it might even increase 85-90% on Saturday. <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" class="tablebg table1"> <tbody> <tr class="1"> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> </td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> Mar. 15 WKD</td> </tr> <tr class="1"> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> Rank</td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> Film Title</td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> Distributor</td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> Weekend BO</td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> Weeks</td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> Theaters</td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> Per Theater Average</td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> % change</td> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" colspan="1"> B.O.

Superb hold for A Simple Life. John Carter should have held better. Not a great drop. The Iron Lady sunk this weekend. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy started off well. Love Strikes bombed. Big drops for Hugo, Love and The Artist. A Separation continues to captivate and awe audiences. Good hold. $150,000 would be a fantastic gross from just 5 theaters.

Those are also some dang good holds by Kevin and the 2 Indian movies.

Ice Age is also a 3D film.China controls the screen counts. New Dreamworks deal might force the government to show Ice Age longer than normal. And Ice Age is also a very popular film there, not as popular as Spider-Man of course but it's still a big movie up there.

It could in China but everywhere else in Asia won't affect it much. Hong Kong can have 2 blockbusters playing at the same time. I really don't know if this new China deal will force them to show Ice Age longer than normal so who knows if it will have an effect on Spider-Man's screens.

Perfect timing plot-wise with all of them graduating after 4 years.

Yeah, of course. Spider-Man > Batman in Asia

72m/225m

It's possible, yes. Spider-Man 3 either set new OW records or was close to breaking them in a lot of Asian territories. I think it really does have the potential to come extremely close to Transformers 3's OW records around Asia because it's the first to come out of the big 3 (Spider-Man, Ice Age 4, The Dark Knight Rises). Viewers will want to see a blockbuster film on the big screen and 3D prices will jack up the OW as well. Before Transformers 3 broke numerous records in Asia, Spider-Man 3 actually held quite a few records in several Asian territories (biggest film in the Philippines for 4 years; OD record in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore).Amazing Spider-Man is very clearly Asian territory. We love our superheros. ;)If you are not convinced, just look at John Carter's OW. Without 3D, this would have flopped around Asia. Instead, this grosses:China - 14,000,000Hong Kong - $917,000Malaysia - $1,574,000Philippines - $823,000Singapore - $868,000South Korea - $3,002,000Those are all pretty good grosses for a movie about Mars. It also shows how an empty marketplace can translate to a huge OW. Amazing Spider-Man will be the 1st major contender of the summer and won't be hampered too much by competition (It has to deal with GI Joe 2's 3rd weekend). In my opinion, Amazing Spider-Man should quadruple these John Carter OW grosses.
