Sensational Skyfall adds $156m to reach $287m international

4 November, 2012 | By Jeremy Kay

James Bond remained irrepressible outside North America and is closing in on $300m after a mere 10 days. The result puts Sony Pictures Releasing International’s (SPRI) total box office for the year-to-date on $2.16bn – overhauling the $2.14bn record with two months of the year to go.

According to estimates issued on Sunday, Sony Pictures Releasing International (SPRI) markets accounted for $139m while MGM licensees generated $17m. The film is active in a combined 81 markets.

Once again the UK led the way as Skyfall generated $25.7m from 1,868 screens to reach $85.8m after two weekends. 007 swept into Germany on $23.9m from 1,264 in the biggest debut of the year so far, grossing 77% more than the launch of Quantum Of Solace and 88% higher than Casino Royale.

France added $14.4m from 825 for $30m after two weekends while Italy produced the biggest launch of a Hollywood release and the second biggest overall for the year-to-date on $7.9m from 623. Spain generated $6.7m from 636 for the second highest debut of 2012 behind The Impossible.

Skyfall added $5.2m in Russia from 951 for $16.1m while Bond pulled off the all-time biggest opening weekend in Switzerland on $5.3m. Holland produced the best of the year so far on $4.4m from 211, as did Austria on $3.4m from 98. Mexico produced 3.2m from 830.

India generated $5.1m from 302 for the second biggest release of the year-to-date behind SPRI’s The Amazing Spider-Man and Taiwan produced the second biggest launch of the year behind The Avengers on $2.5m from 193.

Skyfall grossed $4.3m on IMAX screens from 132 locations in 36 territories, which translates to approximately $33,000 per screen and produced the company’s biggest non-summer, non-holiday weekend. The IMAX running total after roughly 10 days is $10m and the UK has generated $3.6m.

Hotel Transylvania has crossed $100m and added $13.7m at the weekend from 4,940 screens in 50 markets. The animation grossed $3.4m in Spain from 643 for $8.7m after two weekends and $2.6m in Germany from 791 for $6.4m after the same amount of time. Russia is the lead market thus far on $13.1m after three and the UK has produced $190.9m after four.

Paranormal Activity 4 brought in a further $14.3m from 4,506 cinemas in 51 territories through Paramount Pictures International (PPI) to reach $68.8m. The horror sequel arrived in six new markets led by France on $4.3m from 250 and 67% ahead of its predecessor. The Thursday launch in Japan yielded $1.1m from 156 through Sunday, while Belgium generated $1m from 48 sites.

Not deserved

I could list 50 movies, starting with ROTK, where their grosses are not deserved. But it doesn't really matter. If audiences liked it, then deserves got nothing to do with it.

Not deserved

Deserved has nothing to do with BO. Plenty of great movies have flopped while bad movies have made money. Taken 2 isn't a bad movie, people were waiting for the supposed lousy WOM to kick in and guess what they're still waiting.
