The International Box Office Discussion Thread

Recommended Posts

Well, Austria is a really small market, usually it's more or less 10% of Germany's numbers - not very interesting to the industry i guess. But maybe we could do a Germany+Austria thread since it's really one big market with about 90 million people (I don't know if german-speaking Switzerland is worked by the same distributors? If yes, it could be added there too so we'd get near 100 million :) )

I think a Germany box office thread makes sense since the german predictions from Insidekino.de are mostly quite reliable and give US members hints how a movie that already opened in Germany would perform in the USA.Austria like Switzerland are not interesting enough for single threads. So, it would be Germany + Austria + Switzerland.You can always open a new thread but you also have to care for this thread, deliver data and so on to keep it interesting. Or it will die a quick death. ;)(But in general this sub forum can really need some interesting new threads, so just go on!)

Seeing titanic 3D performance in China, is there a list of US films which did a better business in one particular non US country than in US itself? Films like Last Samurai, 111 mil in US, 119 mil in Japan. Any ideas?

That will be an interesting thread.There are some HLW movies had more admissions in China than DOM, but Titanic 3D should be the first in $.

Cool interactive chart that shows you movie admissions per capita worldwide:http://chartsbin.com/view/9jd(Per capita = how often goes an American, German, Chinese to the movies every year.)And the is... Iceland.

I've been to Iceland last year. They have to go to the cinema. Alcohol is extremely expensive. The sun never sets.

SATURDAY AM, 2ND UPDATE: Universal’s Battleship continues to screen strongly overseas with estimates from Day 2 and Day 3 bringing the 72-hour total to $58 million with all 26 international territories now open. Director Peter Berg’s military vs alien actioner opened to #1 in 24 of those new territories. Battleship opens next weekend in 24 more international territories including China (April 18) and Russia (April 19) — but not in the U.S./Canada until May 18th:

– The UK opened #1 on Friday with an estimated $1.3M (£770). That’s ahead of Thor but ahead of Wrath Of The Titans and John Carter. The total with previews is $3.7M (£2.3M).

– Spain opened #1 with an estimated $900k (€681k), better than Iron Man.

– Germany opened #1 on Thursday with $900K, which is the biggest opening for an English language film in Germany this year. It continued #1 on Friday with $1.2M, equal to Iron Man but not as big as Transformers.

– Japan opened #1 with an estimated $900k (LC 72M), higher than Thor‘s opening day.

– Thailand opened #1 with $470K, which is the biggest opening day of 2012 and Universal’s 2nd biggest opening day ever (behind only Fast Five).

– Malaysia opened #1 with $390K, which is Universal’s biggest opening day of all time.

– Korea had another strong day and Battleship remains #1 with a three-day total of $4.2M (LC 4.7M) — better than Iron Man and Thor.
