The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Record opening in Philippines and India, stabilizing elsewhere

[baumer]

Right data is:

 

Italy

 

Amazing Spiderman 5-days opening officials

 

TASM1 € 4.442.751 adm 602.531

TASM2 € 4.582.140 adm 621.518 (6,35M$)

 

ASM 5,52 is 3-days weekend

 

Japan

 

ASM 7,4 is 3-days weekend, 4,1 is 2-days weekend

 

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was the only film not to be overestimated largely due to high avg. ticket price of ¥1,541 ($15.1). It didn't open too bad actually, taking in ¥420,297,900 ($4.1 million) with 272,709 admissions on 761 screens. It's still down 28% compared to the first film's opening weekend, but it should have better legs with the Golden Week boost and less competition later into its run."

 

Thank you.  I'm still not up on how different countries count their weekends.

Thank you.  I'm still not up on how different countries count their weekends.

It's not easy, for example in Italy before 2013 opening day was on friday, now it's on thursday. Other, for some blockbusters like TASM 1/2, opening day is anticipated on wednesday. In Japan usually for local movies opening day is on saturday, but for foreigns sometimes it's on friday.

Anyone know or understand the logic of opening ASM2 on Sunday in China?  Do the Chinese not go to movies on holiday weekends?

Chinese government hate to give any form of advantage to Hollywood movies. It's pretty stupid.

Chinese government hate to give any form of advantage to Hollywood movies. It's pretty stupid.

Despite this, some hollywood movies opened higher in China than in North America, so studios look at the chinese market as the new heaven on earth and and gladly accept these impositions.

Hey Scabab.. Oh yes its just a tiny bit better than Batman and Robin, which is fine

for a 3rd tier debut hero..  Shockingly a disgrace for a Spiderman film.

 

 

And shit SM3 with all its flaws makes ASM2 look like an oscar winner.

 

Leagues better than  the reboot sequel and a tad better than TASM.

 

Still no.

News from Japan

 

Tuesday (first day of Golden Week) estimates

 

Frozen 440k adm  M$5.8
Thermae 2  275k adm  M$3.0
Conan   235k adm  M$2.6
TASM2   150k adm  M$2.2

 

TASM2 make a good day (same level of opening sat/sun). Unfortunately competition is still strong: local titles continues to work hard and frozen had almost all shows in sold-out, so in next days TASM2 will switch the bigger screens with disney's animated, losing seats.

The title of the thread warmed my heart.

 

I hope and pray that for once, America follows the rest of the world.

The hate continues. How exciting.

ASM 7,4 is 3-days weekend, 4,1 is 2-days weekend

I think $7.4m is indeed 2-day weekend number. In yen it was around 590m, so in today's exchange rate it would be $5.75m. TASM2's OW ($4.1m) is exactly 28% smaller than $5.75m. So it was correct.

Did Conan The Barbarian just get released over there AND ITS MAKING MORE MONEY.

TASM1 had wide previews in Japan before its official opening.

According to BOM did 11,5M$ in 1st week, but I don't know for how many days it played.

Conan the detective.

Conan the detective.

 

Sequel to Conan the Librarian, no doubt.

No, it's Detective Conan, a Japanese anime movie.

 

According to BOM did 11,5M$ in 1st week, but I don't know for how many days it played.

 

I think $7.4 is the 2-day OW, and the rest of $11.5m came from 2 days of previews on the previous weekend.

Basicly, it has to break out in China to make up for the potential loss elsewhere and increase a bit over TASM's $490 M.

 

It has to reach the likes of $90 - $100M in China and not drop over $50% in the other opened markets for the next 3 weeks to have a chance to reach $500 - $530M overseas.  I think $550M is dead and $440 - $490 is more likely.

I hope it ends up doing slightly better than TASM WW, the movie was wonderful.
