peludo

If it makes €1m this weekend, I would say it can try even €10m.

Independently that competition is not exactly strong right now, the fact that a Korean film has climbed in this way after nearly 4 months is astonishing. And Spain uses to make very good numbers for BP winners (Green Book did the same than SH films, for example), so we can expect big things from Parasite here.

I do not see nothing special in that number. In fact, I think it is low. In Spain in the same 2017-18 period, 15,000 people died because of flu (47 million inhabitants), and nobody was alarmed. Having a very good health system, these numbers are considered normal. At the end people have to die because of something. Applying the same proportion, the India's figure would be of 425,000 deaths per year because of flu.

Almodóvar has just revealed that Penélope Cruz will present the Foreign Language award. Taking into account her friendship with Almodóvar and that herself has a role in "Pain and Glory", could we see a huge surprise in this category? Everybody know that "Parasite" is the main favorite for this award, but this movement makes me doubt (a bit). I want to remember that Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas presented the same award in 2000, which was won by Almodóvar for "All about my mother", and in which film Cruz had another secondary role.

Today is Jan.17, and there are still no films listed. Another delay? Or we could still see today some changes?

I will never understand the split between original run and re-releases. IMO, money is money, no matters when it is grossed. That means that a film keeps the interest through the time.

Maybe with next, and probably, last Miyazaki's film. Even although the site is extremely Hollywood driven, I expect huge numbers for it. It should be funny to follow that run.

Yes. Ticket price increase was quite normal along the years we have data (end of 1960s) until maybe 2011-2012, when the economical crisis hit deeply the country (over 25% unemployment). Since those years ticket price has not increased. Some years it has even dropped. One data: the biggest year in unadjusted gross is still 2004 with about 690 million euros. 15 years ago... That year were sold more than 140 million admissions. Today we barely cross the 100 million admissions and 600 million euros. Add to that the null increase in ticket price during this last decade and you get the lack of recent titles in both all time lists, adjusted and unadjusted. You can see that, with the exception of 2019, which has been exceptionally amazing in terms of hits, and a couple of phenomenons like TFA or BR, 10s films are just local hits, something really strange taking into account that Spanish people, in general, do not like local films too much. A curious data to see what I am saying: during the 2011-2016 period, Hobbit 2 was the only HLW film able to win the year. The rest of years were won by a local hit (Torrente 4, The Impossible, both Ocho apellidos and A monster calls). It is really strange considering that attendance for local films are usually a 15-20% of total market facing a 60s-70s% of HLW films. 2019 has been a really exceptional year, with 7 films over €20m (absolute record). But can we asume this is the beginning of a positive trend? Maybe, but I am skeptical.

No, it does not work in that way. The official number is the WW figure that we already have. Each local figure can be modified because of some late adjustments but the real WW number is what we already know.

To drop from #5 to #11 or #12 in 2 years is not because of developing markets. TLJ did not work in Asia either. Edit: it is finishing DOM, OS and WW, closer to Rogue One than to TLJ. There is obviously something wrong with this trilogy.

I do not know if this has been said but... OS yearly ranking of Star Wars films: Star Wars: #1 of 1977 Empire Strikes Back: #1 of 1980 Return of the Jedi: #1 of 1983 Phantom Menace: #1 of 1999 Attack of the Clones: #3 of 2002 Revenge of the Sith: #2 of 2005 Force Awakens: #2 of 2015 Rogue One: #8 of 2016 The Last Jedi: #5 of 2017 Rise of the Skywalker: OUT of top 10 of 2019 (it will finish #11 or #12) 2019 OS Ranking Just Solo, which ranked #38 of 2018, had a worse ranking.

Just curious, where did you get those data?

Btw, according the-numbers.com, Parasite is, by far, the new WW champion: All Time Worldwide And New Zealand is the new biggest market: Single Market

In terms of admissions HP1 beat to all of them. Behind HP1, the 3 LOTR films (I have doubts about which one sold more admissions WW, FOTR or ROTK). And then, the other HP films.

Try adjusting by inflation. You will see that the 8 HP films adjust to over 1 billion without China.

This. $575m is objectively a success in terms of absolute numbers. The problem is to put that amount into the SW context. The conclusion of Skywalker saga is finishing closer to a spin-off like Rogue One than to the previous chapter.

To say that HP was not dominant is absurd. The 7 first films did sistematically $800-$900 million WW and 600m OS along a decade, until the final chapter exploded. The only franchise comparable during the 00s decade was LOTR, but it only lasted 2 years. And HP did those amounts without 3D and the explosion of expanding markets. And maybe DH2 seems to be the biggest entry, but HP1 was the real monster of the franchise. To do $660m OS in 2001 with worse ER than today was shocking. It did $100m more OS than its main competitor, my adored FOTR. Until that moment, only Titanic had had a bigger OS run. And just maybe Jurassic Park, The Lion King, Star Wars IV or E.T. could be comparable. And finally, to mention that DH2 ranked #12 all time in China by the time it was released. Today, to make #12 a film needs $365m...

Spain's presales look very good, but I thought the same about Frozen 2 and it is being disappointing, so I think it is better to wait.

ROTS adjusts to $536m according BOM. To compare the opening it is hard, since ROTS opened on Thursday (beating OD record, btw).

In terms of local box office I always use the local currency. It has no sense to talk about dollars with exchange rates changing every day. Big Hero 6 did 525m Yuan what today means $75m. When it was released it sumed up $83.7m for the WW number of the film. If I am not wrong, it ranks #14 among animated films, behind Your name, Big Fish Begonia and Stand by me, Doraemon,

If my data are correct (using current exchange rate to get dollar figures): 1. Ne Zha: 4.972b Yuan ($711m) 2. Zootopia: 1.530b ($219m) 3. Coco: 1.212b ($173m) 4. Despicable me 3: 1.038b ($148m) 5. Kung Fu Panda 3: 1.002b ($143m) 6. TMK: Hero is back: 956m ($137m) 7. Frozen 2: 785m ($112m) (Current result) 8. Boonie Bears 6 713m ($102m) 9. Kung Fu Panda 2: 612m ($88m) 10. Boonie Bears 5: 605m ($87m)

It was at 351 million DOM on Friday. If he is saying 648-650 OS, you already have the billion. After that, add Sat and Sun figures DOM... You will see the billion today.

@LPLC Concerning Spain I am expecting €25m, what today means $28m. The low end of your 21-26 is very low. I would say 25-30 million dollars.

One by one I have a spreadsheet where I collect every film I have been watching since some years ago (not every film I have ever watched, though), with some relevant data like the date I watched it, year, director, country, or the grade that each film has in some relevant sites like filmaffinity (very good Spanish site with English version, if you want to look at) or rotten tomatoes.
