Bitcher Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Damn thought The Grey is the type of movie that would do well in Russia.Russkies wrestle wolves on daily basis so Neeson doing the same thing apparently doesn't impress them much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Still.. Italy when you think of population and income, are one of the worst BO countries in the world..I know, that's what I'm saying.... Box Office is always so underwhelming there. Very unreliable for such a huge market. I wonder what the causes are... piracy? Preference for local films? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 From THR Foreign Box Office: 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Stays No. 1, Cruising Past $400 Million Offshore Frigid weather in Europe chills overall box office; "Journey 2" places second, "Chronicle" opens No. 3. Baby, it was cold outside! With much of the foreign theatrical circuit -- particularly in Northern and Middle Europe -- in the icy grip of sub-zero weather, weekend box office was generally soft as Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol finished No. 1 with $25.8 million grossed from 5,924 locations in 64 markets. The largest market contributor by far to the action sequel’s overall take was China, which generated $19.8 million from some 3,000 venues over three days in Ghost Protocol’s second stanza there. So far, the China accumulated total comes to $55.7 million. By contrast, Ghost Protocol opened No. 1 in Finland to $491,000 from 86 sites and finished No. 3 in its second Italy round with $1.6 million (a drop of 47% from the opening weekend) from 367 sites for a market cume of $5.5 million. In any case, the film finished No. 1 for the fifth time since it opened overseas on Dec. 14. Total foreign gross for the Tom Cruise vehicle has flown past the $400-million mark ($422.3 million), proving that the star maintains considerable box office appeal offshore. No. 2 on the weekend, Warner Bros./New Line/Walden Media’s Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, opened No. 3 in the U.K. ($2 million from 435 sites) and No. 1 in Mexico ($2.8 million from 1,085 venues). Weekend take overall was $14.1 million from a total of $3,890 screens in 19 territories, lifting the film’s foreign gross total to $41.5 million. No. 3 was 20th Century Fox’s Chronicle, which bolted out of the gate despite the weather. The action/sci-fi vehicle about highschoolers acquiring supernatural powers opened No. 1 in the U.K. ($3.6 million from 398 sites) and in Australia ($3.1 million from 204 locations), and generated a total of $13 million in its foreign debut from 2,410 screens in 33 (mostly small, noted Fox) markets. Fourth was Sony’s Underworld: Awakening, the latest installment of the werewolf-versus-vampire franchise starring Kate Beckinsale, which opened No. 1 in Singapore and No. 2 in Germany ($3.25 million drawn from 372 locations). Weekend overall provided $11.9 million from 3,435 situations in 57 markets, lifting the sci-fi/horror outing’s total foreign gross to $53.9 million. No. 5, Fox’s Descendants, grossed $11.2 million from 2,890 situations in 43 markets, elevating its early foreign gross total to $44.8 million. Director Alexander Payne’s best-picture nominee starring George Clooney remained No. 1 in Spain for the third straight round, accumulating $7.75 million so far in the market. Opening a strong No. 1 in France was Mars Distribution’s release of La verite si je mens 3 (roughly translated as Would I Lie To You?), director Thomas Gilou’s third installment in a comedy series about a group of rambunctious Parisian textile merchants. First round at some 650 screens drew an estimated $10.2 million. Warner’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows has accumulated a foreign gross total of $311 million, and looks to outdistance the total foreign action of 2009’s Sherlock Homes ($314 million) within the week. Latest round for the sequel drew $9.3 million from 5,515 situations in 56 territories. A Japan opening is scheduled for March 12. Sony’s Adam Sandler comedy Jack and Jill got some much-needed foreign traction with a No. 1 opening in Russia ($2.5 million from 519 locations) and a No. 2 bow in the Ukraine. Its No. 5 debut in the U.K. generated $1.5 million from 242 spots. Weekend overall came up with $8 million drawn from a total of 2,395 screens in 38 territories. Overseas cume stands at $40.8 million. Registering $7.6 million at 4,430 screens in 62 markets was director David Fincher’s adaptation of the Steig Larson novel about a trouble computer genius (Rooney Mara) investigating a decades-old crime. A No. 4 premier in Italy produced $1.1 million at 465 locations. Foreign cume to date: $99.3 million. Still tops in Germany, and finishing No. 6 on the weekend in France, was Gaumont’s Intouchables. Take in the latter market came to an estimated $1 million from some 700 locations for a market cume of at least $154 million garnered over 14 weekend of playtime. In Germany, the comedy sensation about a wealthy quadriplegic and his caretaker with a shady past generated an estimated $6 million in its fifth round at some 725 sites for a market cume of $32 million. Atop the box office in Italy for the third consecutive stanza was Medusa’s release of Benvenuti al Nord (Welcome to the North), the second Italian-made comedy based on the big 2008 French hit, Bienvenue chez les ch’tis. Latest round collected an estimated $3 million from some 465 locations for a market cume of an estimated $31.7 million. Universal’s Tower Heist, the action comedy costarring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy, opened in Japan via local distributor Toho-Towa at 217 spots, registering $1.4 million and taking the market’s No. 3 slot. Weekend as a whole drew $2 million from 450 playdates in 12 markets for a foreign cume of $68.5 million. Other international cumes: Summit International’s Man on a Ledge, $9.4 million (after a 6.2 million weekend at 2,400 screens in 38 markets); Fox’s Martha Marcy May Marlene, $539,475 in four markets; DreamWorks/Disney’s War Horse, $41.2 million (after a $3.3 million weekend in 28 markets); and DreamWorks Animation/Paramount’s Puss In Boots, $367.4 million (after a $5.3 million weekend at 3,599 venues in 61 markets. Also, Fox’s Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, $189.8 million (after a $4.4 million weekend at 3,977 sites in 38 territories); Paramount’s The Devil Inside, $4 million; Universal’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, $5.7 million in Australia and New Zealand only; Fox’s The Darkest Hour, $42.9 million; The Grey, the Liam Neeson action title Universal is distributing in Russia, $2.2 million; Disney’s Beauty and the Beast 3D, $1.4 million; Fox’s We Bought A Zoo, $23.6 million; Universal’s Johnny English Reborn, $157 million; and Universal’s Contraband, $8.3 million.
