CaptainJackSparrow Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I am suprised the first Hobbit movie didn't make more overseas than Return of the King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I am suprised the first Hobbit movie didn't make more overseas than Return of the King. Me too. I did not expect Japan drop. It dropped 80 million $ from ROTK. And it seems it had a very bad schedule in China. But even with these two markets, it had a similar behaviour to US: below expectatives. We will see what happens with second movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Well, if this movie has more action, that could help in China's market, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Well, if this movie has more action, that could help in China's market, no? What I remember from Chinese forums is that this year TH1 was released next to a 200$ million local grosser and after New Year's Holiday, what it seems to not be a good date (if I wrong, correct me). And to sell better DOS than AUJ, it is just needed to show the recent third trailer, which is absolutely awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) HOBBITS comes from a very oldish Anglo Saxon folktales & myths.Chinese loves their own myths (case in point the $200M-grossing JOURNEY TO THE WEST). Could be a tough sell but like the common wisdom here, sequels & franchise always win new audience.

POLYLOVE Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I doubt Asian countries will grow significantly for Hobbit 2 from the 1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLYLOVE Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I guess The Hobbit 2 will make more or less the same with The Hobbit 1, and won't rule out any decreasings because the first one didn't win good WOM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 At my theater they're expecting a slightly bigger opening than AUJ; midnights on 5 of 8 screens (2 of them as Hobbit double features) are more screens than last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
