The International Box Office Discussion Thread

Recommended Posts

Coinciding with its solid domestic debut, Immortals had a powerful start overseas this weekend. The movie opened to a roughly estimated $36 million from over 35 territories, which was good for first place at the foreign box office. Most individual territories are not currently available, though it did open to $3.6 million in the United Kingdom and $1.8 million in Japan. Similar movies Clash of the Titans and 300 finished with $330 million and $245 million, respectively, and, while Immortals won't come close to those figures, it does at least appear poised for an overseas run that exceeds $100 million.

The Adventures of Tintin fell 32 percent to an estimated $26.7 million in its third weekend overseas. Out of its 50 markets, France was tops again with $6.2 million, while India was the best new territory with $1.3 million. The movie has so far made $159.1 million, and still has a ton of regions left to open in ahead of its Dec. 21 U.S. debut.

Real Steel extended its mighty foreign run with an estimated $12 million from 41 territories (76 percent of the marketplace). Most of that gross came from a strong $9 million opening in China. The movie has now made $147.5 million overseas for a worldwide (domestic plus foreign) total of $229.2 million.

Without any major openings, In Time plummeted 50 percent to an estimated $8.4 million from 51 markets. Its top territories were the U.K. ($1.6 million) and Australia ($1.2 million), and it has so far earned $53.1 million overseas.

Playing in 36 markets, Tower Heist added $7.6 million for a total of $20.6 million. The U.K. was its biggest contributor with $1.4 million.

Paranormal Activity 3 grossed an estimated $7.1 million for a total of $88.6 million. It should top its predecessor's $92.8 million foreign total by early next weekend.

A week and a half ahead of its U.S. opening, Arthur Christmas debuted to $3.9 million in the U.K. That's up from the last Aardman movie Flushed Away, and also an improvement on A Christmas Carol.

Jack and Jill opened in seven Latin American markets and earned an estimated $2.7 million. The vast majority of that came from a $2.48 million first place debut in Mexico, which sets a new opening record for Adam Sandler there.

If Smurfs had the exact same release dates sequence, it would have grossed around $24.3m this weekend for $135.9m cume.So Tintin still has a $23m lead in current markets and if it has somewhat worse multiplier compared to Smurfs, it should still finish ahead.

So in the markets we have data available for, Immortal opened with 62% of CoTT's opening. The frontloaded markets were on the higher side while the leggier markets were on the lower side. And many major European markets are yet to open, which should be on the lower side too going by the trend. So Immortals should be heading for a final total less than 62% of CoTT, maybe in the 55% range.

That would give it ~$180m total OS.

So its still tracking for 400 mill OS?

Tintin is definitely not what every was expecting. The good thing is that the budget for this was under 140 million. Most likely after tax credits.

This modest budget should insure a sequel. Even though it could end up under 500 mill WW if it flops DOM..
