Thank you very much! Does anybody have more info about admissions sold or amount grossed by films released in 70s, 80s or 90s? I am looking for info for movies like Jaws, Star Wars original trilogy, E.T, Back to the future, Ghostbusters,... biggest blockbusters of past decades.

Good lists, Fullbuster. Thank you There is not info about older animated films like The Lion King? I know Adorocinema web and it is good for recent films but I am not able to find data for older films.

I was pretty confident in this project but Amenábar, suprisingly, has failed

Great! Glad to see this kind of run for IO in many markets

Nemo did $4m in 2003, behind HP2 (6.4) and over POTC (2.7) and The Two Towers (2.5). Quite good IMO

Play big or go home... I know it is a very risky prediction and I am conscious I will probably fail, but who knows...

I have not seen the movie yet (it was released last weekend here), but people and critics say it is a meh movie. There is a Spanish web called Filmaffinity where people vote for the films, and I consider it quite accurate. Amenabar films: Tesis: 7.7 (max 10) Abre los ojos: 7.3 The Others: 7.5 The sea inside: 7.3 Agora: 6.5 Regression: 5.6 Critics basically say that film is technnically good but forgettable.

^ Sure. I mean 1 billion WW, not OS

IMO, this will be the surprise of the year

ID4 already did $500m OS in 1996. That is ENORMOUS. Asian markets should make huge numbers. IMHO, billion is in play for this.

I do not dare to give an accurate figure. This can be ENORMOUS or disappointing

I am working on that, but I think that Nemo adjusts to a quite higher figure

Let's be ambitious. Let's imagine that BvS is a good film and the marketing is good enough... the sky is the limit with the Joker. $700m for me.

October 9 - 15: 1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2. Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3. Suicide Squad 4. The Good Dinosaur 5. Star Trek Beyond 6. Captain America: Civil War 7. The Hateful Eight 8. The Magnificent Seven 9. Bourne 5 10. The Revenant

We have bloated the expectations for sure. Myself was saying $150-$200m for Minions, probably influenced by the enormous success it was having everywhere. I did not know that September was a so bad month for BO in China. I take note of it. Anyway, analizing the strict numbers, DM2 did 322 million Yuan and, 20 months later, Minions has increased about 35%. Not bad. Not great. Just a normal figure.

I am conscious of the differences of both markets. I just took the top 10 list posted by @firedeep and I did a quick comparison. I prefer to see the films over a lower amount. For instance, $50m/320 million Yuan (I prefer to take a Yuan figure instead a dollar one given the continous change of ER) . Since 2010, US has made 66-69 films per year making those $50m. China had 5 films in 2010 over 320 million Yuan, 8 in 2011, 13 in 2012, 19 in 2013, 30 in 2014. This year, for the moment, the result is 41 vs 34. I have no doubts that US will increase that amount towards the usual 65-70 films because of awards season. The question is which will be the Chinese number, 40?, 45? that would mean 10-15 films more than last year reaching a considerable amount. China continues growing and narrowing the gap. Obviously, there is still a big difference, but unless the market collapses (there is a certain risk given some doubts about the economy), the trend is clear.

Asuming that US is still doing more money and its biggest films are still quite bigger than in China, if we look at the top 10 yearly, we can see that both countries have the same number of films over $200m. The next step for China will be to have 400-500 million grossers and keep the gap narrowing.

Monsters University opened to 23m on Friday (August) Edit: Goodbye Mr. Loser is a beast . A question to Chinese experts where do you see finishing the 3 current big Chinese films (GML, LiHK and Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe)?

Yes. Basically flat

Top 5 Provisional 1. Regression: €2.5m 2. Everest: €0.6m 3. Capture the flag: €0.6m 4. Maze Runner 2: €0.6m 5. El desconocido: €0.5m

Yes. Disappointing

$900m for an original animated film is superb. It is something that only Frozen has done in a single run. Of course, adding re-releases (Lion King, Nemo) and adjusting for inflation, there are quite more films that have done it. But it is still very remarkable. And we must consider that the film is not exactly easy for children.

October 2 - 8: 1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2. Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3. Suicide Squad 4. The Good Dinosaur 5. Star Trek Beyond 6. Captain America: Civil War 7. The Hateful Eight 8. The Magnificent Seven 9. Bourne 5 10. The Revenant

If I am not wrong, it is a sequel to Lost in Thailand, which already did about $200m in 2012.

Yes, last year was hard for you Well, Casillas (and Spain) won the World Cup in 2010 and he, as the Spanish captain, raised up the title
