The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Sam replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Yup, this is still selling terrible at both my local Regal and Cinemark theaters. Especially for shows past 9:00p (which is a whole lot of them since show ones only start around 7). And they’re not just selling slow, many are completely empty when I checked just 30min ago. I think previews will be in the low teens. If I have to guess, 13M or less sounds about right. Memorial Day weekend can throw off the multiplier pattern of Star Wars movies. But I doubt holiday would help that much for it to shoot up from the typical 4s/5s to 7s/8s. -
Star Wars never have much of a presence in Asian countries, SK included, with the exception of Japan, which is understandable considering its aging population. Doesn’t help that the new Disney SW movies often time relying heavily on nostalgia that was never there for SK audience. And I like a few of the new characters, but I can see why they’re not appealing to the young generation who just got introduced to the franchise. I follow SK entertainments through music, movies, TV shows, etc... and I hardly ever see SW making a presence in pop cultures. Many other popular old Hollywood movies are well known and often referenced there. But not SW. TFA got the curiosity factor and had a respectable gross in SK, but the drop off shown in Rogue One and TLJ was staggering and telling. Solo better hope for Europe and Japan to turn up big, cause Asian and South America countries won’t.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

Number of showtimes for DP2 at my local theaters was about on par with GOTG2, which is why comparable presales point me to 19M predicts for its Thu previews. Considering the ways the weekend has been going for DP2, seems like my area was a pretty good representation for Sat as well. As for Solo, to have number of showtimes both under DP2 and GOTG2 is just not a good sign to me. Especially for a movie in the SW franchise no less. -
Hmm, quite uncharacteristically muted increase for DP2 in Brazil compare to other South American territories. Maybe the bumps is bigger in lc?What’s the ER like for DP vs. DP2? @Fullbuster

DEADPOOL II | 461.2 M overseas ● 785.8 M worldwide
Sam replied to kayumanggi's topic in International Box Office
It only fell relatively big in UK (but still solid business all things considered) The rest of Europe (ones that have numbers reported) either stay flat or slight decrease (with Italy showed good growth) South Korea more than doubled DP’s opening while openings in Latin America countries showed increases ranging from 30% to 50%+ So I’m not surprised at the opening. And it’s a great number. Best ever for Foxmen in the OS markets I believe. -

176M OS opening is incredible. Did it open to all the major markets (minus Japan and China) this weekend? Any big ones left? I think 2.5x legs OS is reasonable for a finish around 440M. Plus 10M in Japan. So 450M. Could go higher but gotta factor in Solo (no matter how bad it might do) and Jurassic World releasing earlier in the OS markets.
