Ahh that's awesome to hear!I so desperately want THG to reach $30m..Correct me if I'm wrong, but chances are we will be the biggest market, yeh?

Australia vs UK

[lab276]

I think the UK will end up ahead of Australia, but not by much.

[Robertron]

Have faith!

From DHD

"– The movie opened in Australia today and Battleship is #1 with an early estimate of $1.1M for the day, which is at the same level as Iron Man and Thor and twice as big as John Carter, and three times as big as Wrath Of The Titans"

Sounds great to me.

[Robertron]

I knew it was going to have a big opening - my session was packed!

[Robertron]

Oh and that should be good enough for a 5-6m OW (basing it off AP4s OW last weekend)

[Robertron]

Any Friday figures for Battleship?

[fmpro]

and thursday?

[Robertron]

Thursday was $1.1m for Battleship! Look a few posts up!

[Robertron]

Not a single mention in the Intl report - did Battleship drop like a rock from Thursday, or something? Do we have any weekend figures?

[DeeCee]

Battleship - $3.94m. Not very good considering Thursday was just over $1m. http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/home/boxoffice.asp

[Robertron]

Yeh I was quite disappointed with it.Great to see THG holding amazingly! Bring on $30m!!!

[Ball Lightning]

-16% titanic.. great hold there (compared to comparative fair, and 2nd best screen average)!

[lab276]

It seems Urban Cinefile aren't posting weekly grosses. Battleship grossed $5.4m and the top 3 were all Universal films. Titanic grossed $2.1mhttp://www.mpdaa.org.au/home.nsf/homepage?openformWeek Ending 18-Apr-12 # Film Title Distributor Box Office1 BATTLESHIP UNIVERSAL 5,397,0042 DR.

For what movies do the tastes of Australians and Americans really differ (except for local favourites)? Youseem so similar.

[lab276]

British comedies tend to do much better here compared to the US.

I just looked James Bond is performing better here than in the US, butAustin Powers is better performing than in Europe (except for the UK)so you get this humor which we don'tJohnny English works in the UK, rest of Europe and in Australia but not in Americacomplicated Edited April 19, 2012 by Rudolf

[SchumacherFTW]

I'm shocked you guys supported The Inbetweeners. Did it get decent ratings on TV then?

[DeeCee]

No. It had very low ratings and was broadcast on a secondary digital channel called GO! It probably had about 100-150,000 viewers out of a possible 15 million across the 5 mainland capitals.
