Guardians of the Galaxy OS Thread（$768M WW Total ）

Yes it is, it is the territory where the studios get the biggest part of the gross.

 

How do you know that? The percent made from China is well known, but I have never heard what the percent is elsewhere, I don't know if Europe, Japan etc. is much different from domestic in that regard.

A few years back in Germany 53.5% for the distributer. Some complains about distributers trying to get more...

And? That doesn't matter when most blockbusters are making 2x to 4x as much internationally. The discrepancy in percentages is obliterated.

Yeah many blockbusters behave like that when they are sequels or/and carried by an international star whoo can draw masses overseas on his/her name alone. 

 

When they are not,  it's usually the rule, not the exception to behave the otherway around or having a more divided ratio. First Twilght, The Hangover,1, Transformer1, Hunger Games, all fall into those statistics.  Only HP1 didn't as it is more of an overseas/UK property.

 

When it's a new property there is usually a 50/50 or 40/60 or 60/40 ratio domestic versus foreign, including in CBMs with new characters less known ovrseas than at home.  Every single new property in Marvel phase 1 had that type of ratio.  

 

Even the Xmen didn't have the typical sequel ratio before their 7th movie and the SpiderMen franchise had an excessive domestic take to have that X2 overseas at a time when there were no asian expanding markets. Same with BB and Stark Treck that had both a ratio 60/40 domestic versus foreign.

I hope not.. Despite all the praising in this room, this film does not deserve to beat Cap2 WW or domesitc.

 

 Great movie , but its not a Cap2.. I think it should pass 640M WW. TIme will tell

 

Sorry but it was better than Cap2, this one should do 1B, only that isn't posible

[Manu Delpech]

Saw it today, and I think it's on another level than Cap 2, ie best Marvel "solo" movie by far. So much more fun, so deliciously sci fi, witty, emotional.

GOTG's OD in France : 232,000 admissions, more than TASM2 and Cap2

It's the third best OD in France for a Marvel movie behind Avengers and Iron Man 3

29.5M for weekday. Looks solid.

Hmm, looks good but hard to really tell how it's holding with Wed & Thur openers.  Did it have any other big territories it opened this week in aside from France and Spain?  When is this opening in Germany?

[Jordi Estrada]

do u think it can match the 500M ww? 

[KATCH-2D2]

do u think it can match the 500M ww? 

WW or OS? It's going to pass 500m WW for sure.

[Blackout]

650M WW seems like a good bet.

UPDATED, Saturday, 7:30 AM:

....

In second place will be, as expected, Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy which is still looking like a $23.75M three-day to bring its three-week cume up to $221.4M. It has now raked in over $500M worldwide.

 

$221.4M + $166.8M =  $388.2m

 

It did open up in some new markets, and will get some out of the already open markets too, but $112m+ since your post and/or ~ $140m+ since 10 August international derails, as stated at BOM?

[Blackout]

Over 400m seems more plausible, I think it's a typo.

[Ent]

Over 400m seems more plausible, I think it's a typo.

Yeah, i don't know how it would have reached $500M yet....$400M seems more likely.

Hence the reason I asked,... So it had a very high OD in France (#3 MCU movie there), but that has still to be under '19m (as in recognizable deeper) as #2 opened so

 

Spain,... isn't that a great MCU result delivering country, biggest was Avengers with an OW of something over $7m, the others were mostly nearly $3m to $5m something

 

=> it does well in some other countries 2nd and 3rd week, but....

 

Twice added?
