ecstasy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 yeah 2012 made 600m overseas without 3D. Amazing performance. Even though it wasn't a great film I am glad John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor were in a big hit like that. I love John Cusack. That's the only reason I watched it, lol.

grim22 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 #Thor intl run led by China $41.8M, Russia $31.6M & UK $27.4M. With Japan to open in FEB, global cume may reach $750M. https://twitter.com/giteshpandya/status/402103259315195904 Is he expecting 550 M overseas? Gitesh has gone crazy. 750M is a pipe dream, 700M is a stretch, probably will end with around 600-650M WW. Domestic looks like 200-210 depending on holds. I have to say that Thor 2 underperformed slightly domestically especially given that it had 2 full weeks to itself. It will increase 15-25M from the first domestically i.e. 7% to 12%, not the massive Avengers bump which was expected and pretty much the sequel bump.

narniadis Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Everyone forgets the biggest benefit for IM3 was the 3d bump besides avengers. Thor 1 already had 3d and makes comparisons flawed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor: The Dark World did not underperform domestically. It's going to increase from the first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) I love John Cusack. That's the only reason I watched it, lol. 2012 didn't seem to help Cusack's career all that much, considering that he's doing a lot of straight to DVD - non American films now.

John Marston Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thor: The Dark World did not underperform domestically. It's going to increase from the first. most people were predicting a much bigger increase thanks to The Avengers Effect and the popularity of Loki/Tom Hiddleston. It is a success definitely but domestically it definitely fell under many expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathlife Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Everyone forgets the biggest benefit for IM3 was the 3d bump besides avengers. Thor 1 already had 3d and makes comparisons flawedEXACTLY!IM3's increase domestically was majorly because of the addition of 3-D.T:TDW is already around $480M in just two weeks. It's pretty much exploded overseas where myself (and a few others) have noted that's where there's an Avengers effect.I see the movie finishing around $650M-$670M total. Catching Fire will open big in some territories (I haven't seen a single trailer for it down here) but Thor is 3-D only in a number if territories and it will continue to play big with the family crowd. I don't know about the US but is playing much more like a family movie here than even IM3 and with the holidays coming up, that bodes well for its late waning legs.

ddddeeee Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I was expecting more and am still a bit let down by the domestic performance, but it's going to make around quadruple it's budget so it's obvious a huge success. This isn't a STID scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a 20m increase due to Avengers effect. 20m is still a lot of money, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) 20m increase is basic sequel effect. Its not Avengers effect. Well some sequels increase and some decrease. So I don't think there's ever a clear cut "basic" sequel effect. Edited November 17, 2013 by ECSTASY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I love 2012. My favorite non animated film of 2009. That was not animated? Sure looked like it ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see the book thief. How much were people expecting for 12 YAS. Doesn't seem like a movie people will come out in droves to see. Seems very brutal and depressing.
