Quigley Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It is actual - my point is that BOM's OS totals are always less than the official for studios that double-count PR. (It's already counted as part of domestic.)That's why the studio announced $600M on Tuesday but BOM didn't consider it to have crossed $600M until now. This is completely unbelievably ridiculous. Fox can have its own definitions of overseas and domestic and it has the right to include Puerto Rico in both. But I find it scandalous that it considers "worlwide = overseas + domestic" instead of "worlwide = overseas + domestic - Puerto Rico". I mean, who are they fooling? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpo Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Can someone tell me why is Puerto Rico considered Domestic? EDIT: And why is Puerto Rico gross different every week? One week it could be 2.5 milion, next week it's just 1.5 million and another is 2 million. Edited September 5, 2014 by chimpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, etc. are U.S. territories, so my understanding is that all grosses from them are supposed to be counted as domestic.

xSabrinax Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Finally, 600, but still didn't pass Mad 2, what a torture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Well, China run is basically over I guess. Only $3M gained for all of OS from Thu-Sun (unless Fox International got a lowballed China estimate again, like they did the last two weekends).

xSabrinax Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 $430.68 million / $605.4 million Above Mad 2 WW. Finally, I can rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portgas Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) 600m? Finally. 100m more than the original movie is still good. Expected more from a sequel, but can't complain. Here's hoping it will be a success on dvd/bd, too. Thanks, based Asia, for a bump. Edited September 8, 2014 by portgas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupek Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Sadly DWA movies don't sell well on DVD. Dragon 1 sold well, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigley Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Let's put this in perspective: HTTYD2 made less than KFP2 and Ice Age 2. It barely surpassed Madagascar 2, while Croods and Tangled are close behind. It was nowhere close to the Shrek sequels or Madagascar 3. Despite years of inflation, 3D and IMAX tickets and a Chinese-appealing theme (dragons), it still performed averagely in WW grosses - or slightly better than average, if you're optimistic. With respect to pre-release expectations, it was a disappointment. Take into account the scarcity of family fare this summer and you basically have a film that narrowly escaped disaster status. Please don't say that it earned more than HTTYD. It did but Shrek and Madagascar earned about the same amount as HTTYD - a lot earlier than the latter - and their sequels have nevertheless been highly succesful (even Mad 2's gross was quite impressive at the time).

Omni Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Anyways, a terribly boring performance. 440M OS is kind of bland, especially considering the open market in which it opened, and its trajectory was an open book just a couple of weeks after its opening. Not a single surprise from what I remember. Not a bad total and not remotely close to a disaster (as stated above), just booooring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 The movie made 615M on a 145M budget. That's a major hit. I don't get why people are upset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welll said 3times its productions budget and say 90-100M advertising it still made twice its full budget. A huge hit!! And always room to improve the Domestic totals for the final story Arc. THIS ISSSSSS AMAZINGGGGG!!! The final one properly planned should go for the 800-1B all us Hiccup fans want at the BO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 You are one sad man. I second that on that hater my friend .. Amen even when you throw in the advertising budget on the production budget of Dragon 2 it still made over double total costs. Thats a blockbuster anyway you look at it .. And if it wasnt for the competition and bad release date I think hiccup would have made more domestic and especially OS... By the time Dragon 2's HV BO run is over it will have another 200-300+M on its revenue.. So its an 800-900M Winfall... I call that lets breakout a party type numbers!
