Captain America: The Winter Soldier ( More than $700M WW, Huge Success!)

[Hernan Gonzalez]

ScreendailyWinter Soldier scored Disney and Marvel Studios’ biggest debut in China on $39.2m (RMB 242m), potent enough to rank as the industry’s sixth biggest launch in history.Russia generated $7.4m and Australia $6m.South Korea has generated $19.8m, the UK $18m, Mexico $16.2m, France $12.1m and Germany $7.6m.Winter Soldier stands at $7.1m in Italy, $6.8m in Taiwan and $6.1m in Malaysia. The Philippines has produced $5.6m, Spain $5.2m, Singapore $4.3m and Argentina $3.3m.The film opens in Brazil this week and Japan on April 19. Chris Evans stars alongside Scarlett Johansson, Samuel Jackson, Anthony Mackie and Robert Redford.

Yeah.... got excited by those preview numbers for nothing....... thought it could do 275m+.Still, an end total of 250m+400m=650m is certainly doable.

[TheDarkKnightOfSteel]

Those are some amazing numbers but i still thimk that 600M WW is the ceiling for TWS!

 

Let's note that TASM2 starts its overseas roll-out in mid-April and until then Noah and Rio 2 will be taking some of TWS' audience!

[Fake]

Giving CA a conservative 2.5x multiplier from this weekend, the current markets should do about 370m. Brazil and Japan should add another 30m.And there is no way it is doing less than 225+375=600 now.

Since China will gross around 40 mill next week is it that impossible to hope for a number close to 300 mill with Brazil opening also207 (current)40 (china)7 (Brazil)46 (holdovers)Maybe holdovers - china is a bit on the high end but 285-290 mill will happen

[Juby]

$265 mln DOM + $440 mln OS = $705 mln WW.

 

It's possible.

Brazil does love its mixed martial arts... lots of Brazilians have been UFC champions... and it looked like Cap pulls

a Brazilian jiu-jitsu move to render the Winter Soldier unconscious.

[Ash Skywalker]

It may finish the first movie's gross in its first week or starting of 2nd weekend that's a great achievement ...

[alisson23]

Not opened in Brazil yet.The Avengers was huge there.

CA 1 too, it was higher than Thor 1

CA 1 $20M

Thor 1 $12M

[John Marston]

$265 mln DOM + $440 mln OS = $705 mln WW.

 

It's possible.

 

 

it's not going to reach that much overseas. It is not doing that great in Europe and ASM 2 is coming out and will put a dent in it

[Fullbuster]

Not great in Europe?Its gross in Europe is perfectly acceptable and higher than CA1.You're overly pessimistic,again..

[alisson23]

For Captain America be higher in Europe it should call Captain Europe and Captain South America in South America. unfunny joke

400m OS is possible or no ?

[fmpro]

Its possible. I'll give it 20-25% for now. We will know next sunday

Yep it started in a numbers of market in about 10 days.  But many of those markets are also on Easter Holliday (college, schools closed) right now so could make up for a rush, watching it next week and weekend for many youngsters before TASM2 open.

 

Also TASM2 opens in China next month so it gives this movie a whole month to do what it needs to do in the second biggest market.

 

I beleive TASM will do massive business and will first hurt CAWS when it opens then it will stabilize.  I also think more adults will constitute the last audience for CAWS when TASM will open.

If we got a 300M OS by next sunday I think 400 got a good shot

[alisson23]

Is possible, it is having good legs and with easter coming...

[Ent]

Quite frankly, i don't see how it could miss $300 million next weekend with the school hollidays in many european countries, Brasil release and China adding up.

You need 45-50 mill this week from holdovers except ChinaCould be tough. But it should be close

Perfectly feasable within 7 days including the weekend.
