JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW
Sam replied to Corpse's topic in International Box Office
TA opened last year during Obon holiday/festival and that definitely helped its gross. So let's hope IM3 can get some good boost from the Golden Holiday week -
Weekend Numbers: Oblvi: 38.1 42: 18 mill (starting pg 10)
Sam replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in Numbers and Data
I think Fast Five has the OW record in April, right? I wonder what movies can beat that record, I believe it's almost 90M OW or so. -
Hmm, good numbers for both. Releasing both movies in the same year might cost one or both to lose a bit of thunder. I'm still on the fence but I think SW7 could do slightly better than TA2 domestically. Can't decide right now cause I think it'll be close. I'll get back to you later?
-
So TA2 over SW7 domestic. What are your early predictions for them right now? I'm kinda tempted to take the bet
-
Your bet on TA2 over SW7, is that for DOM only, or WW, Stingray?

JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW
Sam replied to Corpse's topic in International Box Office
Considering that IM2 did only 12M, I'm hoping for 20M-25M, I think if IM3 can do that, it would be very great. -
So 35M for IM3 sounds like a good bet?
-
Thanks Olive, that's fantastic. I hope it can pull in great numbers there. I know a little Korean too, like very little. I'm a big Kpop fan. I also watch lots of dramas, shows of Korea; they're in English subbed of course; but by hearing Korean language constantly in songs and those shows; I come to know and able to recognize a lot of common words in hearing. If only I have the time to study properly the reading, speaking, and writing parts You get to watch IM3 before me, and now you say you know 3 languages (wait, 4 right? Cause you have to speak French too)?!!! I HATE YOU In all seriousness, yeah, I know, it's time comsuming. I would really love to learn some new languages, preferably Korean. Then French. I will get to it one day, that's my goal

I like those How It Should Have Ended videos more I thought those are more witty and funny

Do you know what kinds of competition IM3 will face when it comes out, Olive? Any strong local movies? BTW, Olive, you're in China, but you know Korean? I'm so envious if you do. I have wished to learn Korean for a long time now but can't never have the time to try
-
Thank you so much for your answers Bluebomb :)So both will do well barring bad quality. That's great.But is there a reason that Superman is popular in HK? He's well-known, that's undisputed, but popular? I asked because he hadn't have a good movie in years. MOS will change that, hopefully
-
I see. It indeed sounds pointless. Yeah, I would love it if they don't cut things and keep whatever product Bong put out there I have faith in the guy that it will be good.
-
I didn't know that so thanks for the info, Bob. I wonder why, some kinds of censorship? I hope Snowpiercer will not get cut, Bong Joon Ho is a brilliant director who knows what he's doing. I think he's perfect for movies like these. Well, if it indeed got cut, I'll still watch it of course, but gonna have to look out for non-US/Korean/uncut version to get the whole movie then.
-
But why though? Are they famous for cutting out parts of movies? I hope for a confirmed release date soon. And crossing fingers that it will be a wide enough release so that it can be found at a theater near me.
-
Yeah, the PTA is good. I thought a slight increase in TC might be feasible, but you're right, it's a pretty wide release already. I hope 42 is leggy, it seems like the type that will have a nice long run
-
I wouldn't go that far If we're talking about critics, I don't know, they might come in with similar scores and critics reactions cause both seems like the type of movies that critics are sweet on. Otoh, personal enjoyment is subjective. Even though both are sci-fi, this is also more of a thriller. Personally, I'm excited for this movie far more than Elysium cause I have watched and loved other works of the director, so I have high hope for this one. Plus, it has Song Kang Ho - a talented Korean actor I love Chris Evans is a bonus too, I always enjoyed his performances, very solid actor :)BTW, thank you for posting and sharing those character posters, kayu
-
Man, I'm so stoked for this movie!!! Why doesn't it has an exact release date yet? -.-
-
Great numbers for 42, very deserving! I watched the movie and enjoy it immensely. With this success, is it possible for its TC to increase?
-
Bluebomb, I read the entry on your blog about IM3's prospect. Great blog BTW I have some questions if you don't mind? How popular is Superman in Hong Kong? Since it's the question in the poll, do you think MOS could do better than IM3 provided that both are good? TA was the biggest Hollywood release in HK last year, so could that help IM3 at all? Sorry for asking too much. Thank you in advance for your responses
-
They have too much money to spare? Or they love watching movies crash and burn at box office cause it's fun? It is fun though, for posters here sometimes at least
-
With TA's success, TA2 is gonna make a killing for sure, maybe even 70M+? I think Thor 2 will do good in Russia but I have no idea how CA 2 could fare next year, the very patriotic title is pretty hard to overlook as an obstacle for overseas potential.
