Robertron Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 But I have worked something out.If Australia is now at $40.5m, that means we had roughly an AUD6.5m weekend, which would be a SMALLER decrease then last weekend, down around 25-30%!!

lab276 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Why are the Japanese almost always the last to see a movie? And usually months and months after everyone else?They've been doing that for ages there to the point that I think it would be impossible to catch up, if that makes sense. Also, they have a whole bunch of domestic films that do quite well which they have to schedule around. Edited May 16, 2012 by lab276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Why are the Japanese almost always the last to see a movie? And usually months and months after everyone else?In terms of space, it's an extremely small country, and there just isn't enough room for the amount of screens necessary to keep up with the NA schedule.

efialtes76 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Foreign Box Office: 'Avengers' Hits $720 Million Overseas, Tops 'Dark Shadows,' 'Dictator' "Dark Shadows" narrowly places second while "The Dictator" commands No. 3, opening in 29 international markets. Marvel’s The Avengers is now Disney’s biggest release ever thanks largely to foreign-generated box office accumulated over the last month including the latest weekend’s No. 1 overseas tally of $56 million drawn from 54 overseas territories. The powerhouse overseas returns for The Avengers, totaling $723.3 million (as opposed to its $457.1 domestic cume), propelling Disney to 2012’s front-ranking foreign distributor thus far with $1.148 billion in offshore box office realized since January. (Contributing to that total was the more than $210 million in the foreign box office by the expensive sci-fi/action title, John Carter.) Dave Hollis, Disney’s motion picture distribution exec v.p., cited “the magnitude of these holds” in many markets, especially in Latin America where The Avengers’ total gross in the region, $171 million, has “exceeded the entire run of Avatar and Titantic to become the highest grossing film in history.” The Avengers’ top five markets are the U.K. ($72.3 million), China ($69.3 million), Mexico ($56.2 million), Brazil ($51.9 million) and South Korea ($47.7 million). The film’s $1.180 billion worldwide cume beats the $1.066 billion accumulated by Disney’s previous top-grosser, 2006’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Opening stylishly on the foreign circuit was Paramount’s release of the Sacha Baron Cohen comedy The Dictator, which amassed $30.3 million from 3,038 locations in 29 markets for a healthy per-site average of nearly $10,000. It ranks No. 3 on the weekend. With The Dictator just starting foreign playdates, and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted (screened out of competition at the current Cannes International Film Festival) plus GI Joe: Retaliation on tap, Paramount said it has recorded $581.7 million so far in 2012 overseas box office. Dictator’s five-day opening gross in the U.K. came in at $7.19 million at 511 sites while Australia provided $5.65 million from 220 spots, also over five days. Taking the No. 1 spot in 25 territories, the film’s opening represents “the second-biggest of all time for a non-sequel, R-rated comedy,” said Paramount. Second among the six major Hollywood studios in terms of total 2012 foreign box office was Warner Bros., which passed the $1 billion overseas b.o. mark this past week, the fastest the company’s overseas unit has ever achieved that benchmark. Its latest release, Dark Shadows, director Tim Burton’s period fantasy starring Johnny Depp, placed No. 2 on the weekend with a gross of $30.4 million collected from 6,510 screens in 52 markets. A Shadows Japan debut generated a No. 1 market ranking with $5 million drawn from 572 situations while its second France round at 489 situations produced $4.3 million, enough for a No. 1 market ranking. In addition to box office generated by Shadows, Warner’s 2012 box office total results from such key contributors as Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows ($257 million offshore this year, $357 million total), Journey 2: The Mysterious Island ($222 million) and Wrath of the Titans ($218.3 million). Box office returns from 3D venues accounted for $324 million of the $1 billion total. Universal is having an active year offshore, and its 2012 foreign box office total to date comes to $653.7 million. A big contributor was Battleship, which opened No.2 on the weekend in the U.S. and Canada, and has already logged $226.8 million on the foreign circuit. Latest weekend offshore for the sci/fi-action title generated $6.5 million from 7,134 venues in 63 markets, making Battleship the weekend’s No. 5 title. Production-dollar-for-production-dollar, Universal is seeing better returns from American Pie: Reunion, the latest sequel in the raunchy comedy franchise, which grossed $10.2 million on the weekend from 4,000 situations in 48 territories, lifting the film’s offshore cume to $159.4 million. It ranks the weekend’s No. 4. A Hong Kong debut generated $245,000 from 32 sites for a per-screen average of more than $7,600. Opening strongly in France was UGC’s release of director Jacques Audiard’s Un gout de rouille et d’os (Rust & Bone), a drama which premiered in the Cannes International Film Festival’s main competition. The drama about an ex-boxer (Matthias Schoenaerts) who takes up with a trainer of killer whales (Marion Cotillard) drew an estimated $4.6 million in its debut at some 450 screens. Breathing hard on the $1-billion box office mark in 2012 is 20th Century Fox, which has grossed $976 million overseas so far this year. It’s top release on the weekend was British-made comedy The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which boosted its overseas cume to $78.8 million thanks to a $1.9 million weekend at 1,200 screens in 21 territories. And, with Men In Black III opening this week plus The Amazing Spider-Man on tap for July, Sony has generated $506.8 million to date this year in foreign box office. The company’s release of The Vow, a romantic drama starring Rachel Adams, played 570 screens in 21 markets for a weekend take of $2 million, boosting its offshore cume to $64 million. Sony’s 21 Jump Street, the big screen version of the vintage TV series, generated $1.9 million at 1,340 in 31 territories for a foreign cume of $52.2 million. Warner’s The Lucky One, a romantic melodrama starring Zac Effron, came up with $2.7 million on the weekend at 1,965 screens. Overseas cume stands at $26.4 million. Other international cumes: Universal’s Hanni & Nanni 2, $1.6 million in opener in three German-speaking markets; Fox’s The Descendants, $91.6 million; Pathe’s Houba! Sur la piste du Marsupilami, $39.3 million in France only; Titanic 3D, $284.6 million; Universal’s The Five-Year Engagement, $6.4 million; Fox’s Jannat 2, $11.8 million; Pathe’s Le Prenom, $19.1 million in France only; and Fox’s This Means War, $99.2 million.

acab Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 The Avengers is a monster. It has a solid chance to reach 900m!Dark Shadows is trying to save some face. Those would be good numbers if the budget was logical. Now things don't look good.The Dictator is doing great numbers also. It will end up with over 100m easily.And American Reunion is turning out to a big hit. It has a chance of reaching 200m os! We will see a sequel.
