Robertron Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh ok, one of those discrepancies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Intouchables in Switzerland already made more than 950'000 admissions. Avatar made 1.1 mio and Titanic 1.9 mio. This french flick is one of the biggest movie events of the last four decades here.It will easily be the number one flick this year -- nothing will be able to top it.

pinocchio Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 BOM may not list Switzerland, but it should be included in the given WW total.Uhm... Yes, seems you are right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh ok, one of those discrepancies. They'll probably include a final total by the end of it's run there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Imagine if Intouchables caught on in the States?? Is it even getting a release here?I wonder, what is the biggest French language film at the American box office... Amelie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Americans don't like foreign movies. From time to time they make remakes. Like Three Men and a Baby -- based on a french hit -- which made 167 mio USD in 87, something like 330 mio USD today.Intouchables will have a limited release domestic:http://www.imdb.com/...434/releaseinfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It could do well enough limited to get a wide release, it's not unheard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 The biggest year in China film history is 1979 with 29.3B national admissions.Population of China around that time was under 1 Billion. That means a person went to cinema 30 times a year on average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinocchio Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 He, this is fun... BOM even has a chart with french movies that had remakes in the USA. Stuff like Camerons True Lies and so on:http://boxofficemojo...renchremake.htmAnd Will Smith right now seems to work on a remake of Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis, another huge french mega hit (made nearly Titanic numbers there).

A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Population of China around that time was under 1 Billion. That means a person went to cinema 30 times a year on average? Yes. Generally people used to go to movies 20+ times yearly between 1950s and 1990s. There was 5 per capita even in 1995. The ticket price was much cheaper then.Avarage ticket price:before 1979: under 0.25 yuan, sometimes only 0.1 yuan.1980~1990: under 1 yuan1990~2000: 2~10 yuanThen it just kept going upNow: 40+ yuanDramatically, the per capita went down by 99+% while the ticket price went up by 400 00%.

pinocchio Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 What is the average income in China right now?Movie ticket prices were above general inflation in most parts of the world, but in China it seems to be extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
