redfirebird2008 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The balance has totally shifted now. Makes it quite funny that, as a forum, we still pay most attention to domestic numbers. It is still the biggest market in the world and the studios get a higher percentage of revenue here than they do in the future biggest market (China). They supposedly only get around 25% of the revenue in China, which is brutal. Makes the numbers not seem so great over there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensivepenguin Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The balance has totally shifted now. Makes it quite funny that, as a forum, we still pay most attention to domestic numbers. Yeah, pretty much. And it's only going to get worse (or better, depending on your point of view). Shit, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters has a sequel greenlit because it earned three times abroad what it earned in the US. If this was five years ago, that wouldn't happen.

ecstasy Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Part 1. Now we need Gatsby's numbers. They ought to be pretty great. That's a hefty drop for a Thursday. Was hoping it would stay flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yeah, pretty much. And it's only going to get worse (or better, depending on your point of view). It'll get worse. Conceiving stories to cater to as many different cultures as possible rarely makes for better movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much of the other 75% goes to the theater, and how much goes to the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 For whatever reason, I still care the most about the DOM market. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 For whatever reason, I still care the most about the DOM market. It's easier to compare the performance of new releases in North America to older ones. The trouble with many OS markets is that they're so new. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Of course as its easier to track but there is going to be an increasing divergence where films will do so so in America and become all time hits in many countries and films being huge hits here in NA and doing rather small business overseas. You will likely see this with Star Trek 2 this month, huge in NA rather small overseas. When a film can do amazing domestic and overseas then you will get the 1.5 billion dollar films ...

ChD Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This gets worse considering that, if it ends up around Deathly Hallows, it'll have worse legs than Iron Man 2. The fact that it added 3D helped this increase, but without 3D, the increase would be barely noticeable. Thor and Captain America will also get small bumps since they were already 3D... So yeah. Marvel's only BIG, like VERY BIG movie is Avengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as big domestically as some thought when it opened to 174M last weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I agree I think we can call that part a bit bad but considering the fates of part 3 latley TA likely saved IM 3 a lot domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thursday's top movies: #1 IRON MAN 3 - $7.6M ($212M) #2 PAIN & GAIN - $650k ($36M) #3 OBLIVION - $485k ($77M) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I'm not thinking 1.2b until I see how it handles this weekend OS. Considering the overseas weekdays its holding up quite well overseas. If the film was going to collapse overseas it would have started last weekend or over these weekdays. Just saying apart from ST in a few countries its another wide open weekend overseas. Edited May 10, 2013 by Lordmandeep 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't listen too much to some people on this forum. Some people here think if a movie doesn't make Avengers money, it's a flop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosidering this or THG series are the only movies in the forseeable future looking at 400 million, there is going to be a lot of "flops then" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
