  1. From Deadline:Lionsgate also finally reported its weekend international numbers which were a very strong $59.25M and tracking ahead of the first Twilight Saga film. The pic opened worldwide day-and-date in 67 markets this weekend on an estimated 7,700 prints everywhere except for Spain, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. The first international numbers coming in from Australia scored a huge $1.8 million (USD) on 471 screens, which was bigger than the debuts down under for Iron Man ($1.0M) and Quantum Of Solace ($1.0M). Then that Australia number went up a big +20% the next day — which is unusual. It ended up just under $10M. The UK grossed a big $7.5M, Russia was a breakout $6.5M, and New Zealand a strong $1.27M. Scandinavia markets combined for $3.7M, Germany $3.9M, France $3.75M, and early estimates include Mexico $3.59M and Brazil $2.6M. Asian markets also posted very solid numbers: Philippines $1.71M, Singapore $1.38M, Taiwan $1.36M, Hong Kong $709K, Malaysia $655K, Thailand $649K. In the UAE $656K and the Gulf region with almost $1M combined.

  2. Yeah, that was my point. Here are the other "averages"Dark Knight $12,219 x 4,366 = $53,348,154New Moon: $14,504 x 4,024 = $58,364,096Breaking Dawn: $11,185 x 4,061 = $45,422,285Everything about that is completely wack

    The most likely explanation is that the averages for those other films are for the same point in time on opening as the $12,000 average she is reporting for THG. The Rentrak reporting system runs off hourly reports throughout the day. Lionsgate is probably just giving her a bit more detail then she usually gets. So whatever numbers she gets she posts on her site.
  3. Just a note on comparing the USA/Canada to Australia.In 2011 films screened in Australia earned AUD1.09Billion which is roughly USD1.1Billion. Which is about USD47 per person spent at the movies.In 2011 films screened in the USA/Canada earned USD10.2Billion. Which is about USD29 per person spent at the movies.Now dividing 10.2B by 1.1B gives us 9.2. So if the Domestic:Australia ratio is bigger then 9 the movie performed better in the domestic market then it did in Australia. If the ratio is smaller then 9 the movie performed better in Australia.

  4. Just checked At The Movies. They both basically hated the movie.

    DAVID: So it’s a really horrible story but they’ve had to make a film that will appeal and will be censored, classified, for young people and I think that’s a compromise they’ve never managed to come up with.

    The queasy-cam is deeply annoying, but worse is the lack of suspense or involvement. One mystery: there's a credit for Snake Wrangler at the end, but I didn't see any snakes. Where were the snakes?

  5. I haven't read the books and wasn't even aware Woody Harrelson and Lenny Kravitz were in the movie.I have to say this is quiet a good movie. It builds nicely at the start and then really picks up the pace once the games begin. All the main actors give good performances although the Capital City characters are a bit over the top sometimes and their fashion sense is an aquired taste.
