The Muppets OS Thread

[Jonwo]

Given that The Muppets is going to be rolled out to cinemas worldwide over the next few months, I'd thought I'd start an OS thread and what predictions what The Muppets will do OS, I'm thinking at least $100-150m, The Muppets are very well known property and I think it'll be hugely popular in countries like the UK and Australia especially the UK as that is where The Muppets got their debuts and it's released just before the half term holidays.

I think it could do quite well here, there's still a large amount of good will it seems. That mainly shows its self over christmas when a lot of people I know call muppet xmas carol the best christmas film, and thats from a variety of age groups (I still call Die Hard on that one). That said, good will isn't a guarentee, but it surely can't hurt it.

I expect Tangled numbers here, so maybe around 35m. I can see it doing pretty well in other countries aswell, but perhaps not Asia. I could see near 200m happening.

[Jonwo]

The promotion already started with the Mahna Mahna numbers on Children in Need and I imagine Disney are going to promote it very heavily through December and January and I imagine the Muppets, Jason Segel and Walter will be promoting it across the chatshows and radio shows in early February.

Won't be that big.$225m or thereabouts.

[CJohn]

I say 200M OS.

[John Marston]

200M overseas alone? Not happening. Not going to get suckered into hype again

[CJohn]

I can see much less. Something like 150M OS.

[fmpro]

I see 180 mill for now

[baumer]

The Muppets grossed 1.2 mill internationally in seven markets this weekend.boxoffice.com

[Mattrek]

So is 250m WW too much to hope for?

Must really be small markets then( i hope )

[Hiccup]

This is rolling out very slowly. Are the Muppets that big overseas?

[CJohn]

Official international weekend estimate: $0.5 million in 13 territories for 'The Muppets.'

[forg]

Kermit the Frog is big overseas. So let's see. It won't earn that much because well it's not 3D. But this will make money because of the not so high budget

[fmpro]

Cant belive this is not doing any better

[CJohn]

Official international weekend estimate: $0.7 million in 17 territories for 'The Muppets'.

[fmpro]

Its really a huge letdown OS

[CJohn]

It is dead OS right now. Some decisive markets yet to open, like the UK and Spain, but I am not expecting anything more than ok results, just like DOM, for it OS now.
