A Marvel Fanboy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Which isn't exactly a problem for a film with a mere $60 millon production cost. And neither a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edroger3 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Which isn't exactly a problem for a film with a mere $60 millon production cost.We don't know distribution and marketing costs. I think they are much more, and outside Usa and UK, more than studio revenues (according to Rentrak at least 50 markets opened, average gross 1,5M$, average studio revenues 800K$ for each one!)

pepsa Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I noticed sk and Japan are opposites when it comes to hollywood animated films. Disney&pixar do really poorly in korea while dreamworks does really really well. I think the opposite is true in Japan. Frozen is a pixar movie, And Frozen rulled the Korea box office for weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Frozen is a pixar movie, And Frozen rulled the Korea box office for weeks Frozen is a WDAS movie and it is a clear exception to the rule. Tangled grossing $9M proves that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Rth saying 3x Peabody ad Sherman OD in Australia. It probably won't cary like that for the weekend, but if it did it would make over 7m. So maybe 5m? Edited April 4, 2014 by lab276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Off to a good start in Austria + Germany - but I can't help but think that marketing dropped the ball with this one. Especially since it's clear from markets where it's been in release for a while that this is very enjoyable for adults, too. So marketing it as a pure kid's animation wass a bad decision; this might have opened 30% higher with proper marketing! Hopefully WOM will spread so at least legs will be good!

edroger3 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Could 200 OS happen? I guess the good numbers in Aus and Germany will help...It needs +25M$ in Australia. Unfortunately Lego was lacking everywhere in no-english language countries, and totally bombed in asian big markets (Frozen, for example, grossed 215M$ in China+ SK+Japan), I think because screenplay loses more of its meaning with dubbing . So Austria+Germany, its last markets opened, could give 10M$ at maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was #2 on the weekend behind captain America but took #1 for the week. Good signs. (We have the Easter school holidays here at the moment which is boosting everything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A discomforting yet inevitable notion... It's domestic run come to an end, but last foreign markets in play (Australia, Germany, New zealand) could done another 15/20M$ it needs to surpass WiR worldwide. LM had a fantastic run domestically and in foreing english language markets but was lacking in non english language countries: in about 50 markets combined it grossed less than Frozen in Japan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 If an animated Movie makes almost half of its international BO in Australia and UK, there is something fundamentally wrong with it. I don't believe there is any language barrier what so ever. It must be a cultural thing of some sort. I have played with my Lego-stones (some time ago) and Batman is my favorite SH (if I have any), but I would never consider watching such a movie in a cinema (or at home for that matter). For me it is simply too childish. A movie that makes 3/4th of its BO in 4 English speaking countries is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
