I would say competitions with local movies. The Face Reader mostly. TMI didn't do well, just when you compare it to the disastrous opening of the other three. With a 1M+ OW, its total will be 5M at best, and that's very generous.
1. Thor: The Dark World2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier3. Gravity4. The Good Dinosaur5. Wolf of Wall Street6. Her7. Prisoners8. Guardians of the Galaxy9. Frozen10. American Hustle
That's a pretty steep drop for MOS. With The Wolverine opening this week, I guess MOS will drop even harsher. It's a holiday weekend though, so that might help.What can we expect for The Wolverine btw?
Gonna be very tough for the 4 Hollywood openers. Something will bomb badly I think. Hopefully MU and DM2 survived since they're animations so will have different target audience.
That's big for The Face Reader. Did it open on Wed?Just check the info on that movie, it starred Song Kang Ho and Kim Hye Soo, definitely a must watch.
I'd say 15M in Japan (like MOS) is a better bet, maybe it can push for 20M considering the Japanese setting and Hugh Jackman is a bigger star than the leads in MOS.
