The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug OS Thread

DM2 wont make much in China. It's just an animation not called Panda or Scrat.

or Croods!

[Omni]

In other words, it looks like no animated film above mediocre-average can succeed in China. Meaning DM2 will probably triple Frozen there.

Kung Fu Panda 2 was very good!

which countries will it surpass AUJ in?

[Olive]

Desolation of Smaughas taken in $242.2 million domestically, where it is pacing behind the first film, and $566 million overseas for a total $808.2 million.

DOS 242.2+566=808.2

AUJ same point: 278.2+609.3=887.5

[fmpro]

Whats the weekly drop?

[Elessar]

Unlike last week, this is one that could have done better.

 

$39m for the whole week compared to $48m that AUJ made.

700m overseas still seems doable. 1 billion is dead and buried though

[Elessar]

Doable but difficult. It's $43m behind AUJ and i fear the gap is only going to get bigger. It's probably going to have to outgross AUJ by over $20m in Japan and China combined in order to hit $700m.

if you remove Japan from that 43m though it would be 27m.

[Elessar]

I know. I took that into account.

[Elessar]

Let's take AUJ: it made $48m that week for a total of $609m. It ended its run in those market with $664m, so it added another $55m, that's 1.15x the $48m. If we apply that to DOS: 1.15 x 39m = 45m, so that gives us $610m. It needs to make $90m from China and Japan.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
$135.4 million / $209 million
$97.4 million [56 markets] ($278.4 million) / $406 million 
$99.7 million [62 markets] ($424.8 million) / $616.1 million 
$58 million [64 markets] ($527 million) / $756.6 million 
$22.2 million [62 markets] ($566 million) / $802.8 million (Est.)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
$138 million / $222.6 million
$96 million [59 markets] ($288.5 million) / $438.6 million
$106.5 million [62 markets] ($464 million) / $686.7 million
$57.1 million [65 markets] ($561 million) / $824.8 million
$26.2 million ($609.3 million) / $887.5 million

[Fake]

Hobbit will get around 3x multiplier from this weekend and finish with 610m from current markets. China and Japan should add another 70-80m.

 

So it will finish with 950-960m WW. That's around what DM2 and Frozen are looking to finish with as well. It is going to be a really close fight for #2 of the year.
