JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW
catlover replied to Corpse's topic in International Box Office
I'm hoping for a total of 10b+ yen for TFA. Or better yet, beat TPM please. I can't at TPM being the highest grossing Star Wars movie in Japan.- 24,124 replies

I was hoping it could break OS OW record too to make a perfect victory. But it's getting harder and harder to break ALL of opening records. Even JW didn't have OD record. I'm really curious about SW7's OD in my country. The hype is crazy here. Today I had dinner with my friends in a restaurant and it had Star Wars decorations. And then we went to a ping pong bar and the ping pong tables were Star Wars themed. And while in the car we turned on the radio and they were talking about Star Wars. It's literally everywhere!

To be fair, TBBT makes Star Wars references all the time. Also Star Trek (a lot of times, I think Leonard Nimoy was on the show), LOTR, MCU movies, Harry Potter, etc. So of course it will be featured big time when SW7 opened. I'm not saying SW7 is not hyped, just that TBBT is not a good indicator for how big the hype is.

I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in Indonesia the hype is getting crazy among general public. Now people who have never seen Star Wars before, are excited to see it. Last week and this week, a lot of my friends who knew almost nothing about Star Wars asked to borrow my copies of all six movies, so they understand the story when they see the new one this weekend. Ads and promotions are EVERYWHERE. Radio stations even declared today (the release day of SW7) as Star Wars Day. They're gonna talk about Star Wars throughout the day. Shows are selling out so fast that I have to postpone my plan to see it because all of the good seats for the weekend are gone. I expect a huge OW.

I don't see it either. But I also thought it's impossible for a song to sell 1m downloads in a week with overall digital sales declining. So with Adele, we never know. Anyway, back to the box office. I think (and I hope) Spectre will get to 200m. It's not as good as Skyfall but I enjoyed the movie a lot and don't really understand the hate it's getting.

Are you sure about that? Adele is huge EVERYWHERE. If she wasn't, she wouldn't get 30m sales for her album. Adele's new song was #1 on iTunes in 90+ countries, including countries in Asia. Here, people all ages love Adele, while Katy Perry is only popular among younger people. And Lady Gaga? She's not what she used to be.

Yes, I know all the statistics regarding Adele. Actually 25 is expected to sell 2m+ in its first week alone in the US, when no album even came close to that number this year. The target is now *NSync first week record of 2.4m. Like you said, Adele is in a whole different level from any other artists. So I knew Sam Smith's song wouldn't be as sucessful as Skyfall. But I think he's the singer with the highest profile at the moment that they could possibly get to sing the bond song. I love both songs btw.

BO Germany/Austria: Deadpool&Wolverine #1
catlover replied to IndustriousAngel's topic in International Box Office
When is TGD gonna be released? I assume not the same time as the US, since IO was just released in Germany. -
Finally decided to see this in 3D. Well. it's not the biggest screen available here, since 3D screens are generally smaller, expect for IMAX. But I'm glad I did it. The 3D did enhance the viewing experience on some scenes, and didn't really take anything from the others. The movie itself was amazing. Matt Damon was great, so was Jessica Chastain. And of course the soundtracks were awesome. Definitely one of the best this year. Btw there were kids too when I saw this. And they seemed entertained. Aside from the blood near the beginning, and a couple of f-words, I think it's fine for kids to see.

JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW
catlover replied to Corpse's topic in International Box Office
I don't know. I expected 5-5.5b yen, so it's actually pretty much in line with my expectation. But without competitions I think it could have opened bigger and reached 6b (around $50m) or close to it. This summer was crowded with 5-10b potential grossers IO, Minions, The Boy and the Beast, Hero 2, Attack on Titan, JW, MI5 all released within a month. As a result, IO was crushed and the others could have made more (except maybe Attack on Titan because its quality killed itself).- 24,124 replies

Hotel Transylvania 2 (September 25, 2015)
catlover replied to CJohn's topic in Box Office Discussion
I surprisingly enjoyed it more than the first. A think I laughed a lot more and also more invested in the characters. And I love the appreciation for "Worth It" in the movie . Can it have better legs after opening bigger than the first? That would be great. -

I'm glad MI5 crossed 5b yen. That's the 5th Hollywood movie that did it this year (including BH6). The most since 2006 (also 5 movies), when MI3 was released. Meanwhile, MI4 was the only Hollywood movies above 5b in 2012. The last three Mission Impossible movies are amazingly reliable, box office-wise.- 24,124 replies

Interesting that Ant Man will be the most successful MCU movie outside of Avengers and IM, considering it's the most obscure one before the movie came out. JW will cross 9b yen, and Unfair will cross 2b, just like the previous two movies. That's impressive. Meanwhile, Attack on Titan failed miserably. Too bad because the two movies had so much potential to be huge hits.- 24,124 replies

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials | In theaters
catlover replied to Ash Skywalker's topic in Box Office Discussion
Saw it and that's exactly how I felt, without the quotation marks, because it was entertaining. So around the same RT score as Ted 2? That's just too harsh. -

Is FJG2 that bad? Because I just saw FJG yesterday at German Cinema Film Festival here in Indonesia and it was super hilarious and so much fun. It even got a big applause from the audience. -

Great! As long as it's entertaining. I loved the first one despite the mixed reviews. Gonna see this tomorrow. -

Wait, there's another Unfair movie? Should've known that since the story wasn't exactly concluded in the 2nd movie. I loved the series back in 2006 and the movies were great, with all the plot twists and surprises. They're doing really well despite the long intervals between the movies, especially for a heavily serialized movie franchise.- 24,124 replies
