DeeCee Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I saw JR yesterday and looked at a few theatres. Pi generally had twice as many screenings at a given theatre then JR. Plus those screenings tended to include Gold Class and VMAX etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 And chip it in stone: Final 2012 figures received this week from the Hollywood major studios -- Fox, Disney, Universal, Paramount, Sony and Warner Bros. -- confirm that their recent string of consecutive yearly box office records set on the foreign theatrical circuit has been snapped. Collective 2012 takings total $13.5 billion, slightly less that the record of $13.6 billion record set in 2011. Fox, which leads the six companies, scored a 26 percent jump in yearly foreign box office with a total of $2.71 billion registered this year. No. 2 was Sony, which set this year a foreign box office record for the company, coming up with a total of $2.67 billion overseas. (Sony’s previous best was $2.14 billion in 2009.) Warner Bros. came in third with $2.67 billion for the year, down seven percent from last year and nine percent from the company’s foreign b.o. record of $2.93 billion in 2010. No. 4 Disney recorded $2.09 billion in foreign box office, down 4 percent from 2011. Despite one or two high-profile disappointments, No. 5 Universal logged a record year overseas, taking in $1.79 billion in foreign box office -- 41 percent higher than 2011 and 4 percent more than the company’s previous record of $1.72 billion in 2008. With a contracted overseas release schedule, Paramount took a 51 percent tumble from 2011, grossing $1.57 billion offshore this year. The biggest indie by far was Lionsgate, which collected $1.25 billion in foreign box office – up 280 percent from 2011 on the strength of Twilight: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 (which drew $524.7 million offshore) and The Hunger Games ($284.8 million). http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-milestone-life-pi-408944 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Pi is doing crazy numbers. Hobbit should hit 1 billion. Reacher is doing solid business, 150m OS total is the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 TF3 definitely helped Paramount last year.That's an atrocious drop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Awesome. That's a huge number for BD2. It really does have a shot at 550 overseas. A small shot of course, but a shot nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Elsewhere the film has amassed $15.6m in Lee’s native Taiwan after seven and ranks as Fox’s third biggest release in history, and $15.2m in India after the same period to rank as the third biggest Hollywood release ever. That's all India can manage, still? $15m gets you in top 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Too bad the Twilight series has ended, with CF guaranteed to explode OS this year (it's got to at least double THG, yes?), Lionsgate could have leapfrogged a couple of the bigger studios for 2013.

Tower Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ah.

Fake Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ah. That would make sense, since I'm always hearing how India has one of the biggest film business in the world..Hollywood gets very low share of the total market. Most of the business goes to local films. Also, Hollywood films only get released in metro areas only. Biggest blockbusters release in 700-800 theaters only while major Bollywood films get over 2500 theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
