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

[CJohn]

Completely horrendous OW over here. It is opening below Thor 2. 3D killed it at night. The marketing campaign didn't helped either. Afternoon shows were good, but they won't save it.

Is it possible that South Korea is getting a SnowPiercer effect and that it is an outlier even in Asia? SnowPiercer was massive in SK ($60 million) so that must have helped Chris Evans more than anything else.

Yes! Snowpiercer was definitely the start of Chris Evans' rise in popularity here, certainly more so than the avengers, and is undoubtedly one of the reasons CA2 has started so well. 

 

He's probably one of the most popular marvel actors in Korea now along with RDJ

 

Also, with TA2 currently being filmed in Seoul general marvel buzz is very high contributing to CA2's early success.

 

SK could become CA2's biggest Asian market after China I think.

South Korea Saturday revised up to 514,782, one single day is bigger than CA's total admissions.

1.4M admissions 5-day opening.

[Durden]

AOU 100m in SK.

 

I believe.

[Olive]

AOU will explode in Asia for sure!

Can't wait to track its numbers next year.

Capitain America is big in South America. Much bigger than Thor. We can expect Huge numbers there.

Ignorant statement of the week.

Far more likely there's an Age-Of-Ultron-is-filming-right-now-in-South-Korea effect. That's some GREAT advertising.

How many countries did IM3 beat Avengers in?

 

The very notion that a $1.5B movie still has room to grow is insane! But it's true!

How do you explain the popularity of TA? That one made $880M, some people outside US must watched that one.

[Michael Seng Wah]

Malaysia - on par with T:TDW. Hopefully $3mil opening.

 

Good thing - opened this weekend, also a school holiday.

 

TDW made $8.82mil last year.
