So HO3 will out-gross STiD in Australia? 

[Ball Lightning]

In anutshell its a case of when is the best time to release, now that doesn't always come into play because some films they want to release day & date around the world or close to it, but what that date is in  reality might not be best for the market (aus or elsewhere), how many other films are there in the market what is typical maret capacity etc.

School holiday wise Australia has more split holidays and also states at different times than majority of countries, EU like US everyones off for all summer (or most of it) etc

 

some upcoming films that are either before or close to US

 

titles/days diff from Dom rls, AUS & UK

AE +13 , +7

Dme2 -13 , -5

MU -1, +21

WWZ -1, 0

MOS +13, 0

LR +1, +37

PR -1, 0

Wolv -1, 0

TWE -22, -35

KA2 +6, 0

Riddick +6,0

gravity -1, +14

AT -15, -56

Thor2 -8,-7

EG -1, -7

PA2013 -1,0

HG:CF -1,0

AOC -1, +35

Ancor2 -1, 0

TH2 +13, 0

 

 

 

Smurfs2/PJ/Planes/turbo delayed for Sept hols, Cloudy2 delayed closer to Xmas hols

 

So only a few are actually after the US. And only 3 of those big titles are coming out more then a week after.

 

I'd say thats pretty damn good!

Its a good sign. If a film with its reviews can still manage an opening week of over $11m, it means our box office is tracking along just fine.

How is the Great Gatsby doing so far?

[RthDeadWov]

TGG Op day about 1.2m, 4 biggest OD 2013 and 2nd biggest Thu OP (IM3 Wed, LOP Tue), THO3 droped 66% from LW (silimar to THO2 2nd thu drop)

[DeeCee]

Roughly performing in line with the US.

Wow. Although with smaller numbers, it's basically performing similar to TH02

Fantastic for The Great Gatsby, 5m OD is in sight

 

Fantastic win for Village Roadshow!

$5m OD? We wish But yes, a $5m OW seems highly likely with tonight being the big decider.

That would be an upset for the ages

[Robertron]

That would be an upset for the ages

For a film like Gatsby, a $5m OD would set us up for a $20m+ OW - ill take that ;)But I'll also come back to reality and take $5m OW.

[Robertron]

[RthDeadWov]

Wow!!! That is amazing for Gatsby!!That's also a really really good hold for THO3 - such a shame it's going to die this weekend.

[Ball Lightning]

Absolutely stunning!! Though I thought it was going to break out just not that much!

[Robertron]

Iron Man 3 is now over $38m and should make a late run for just over $40m

[DeeCee]

$20m here we come for TGG.

[Robertron]

At $25 a pop, the FF6 advanced screenings at Event Cinemas are selling EXTREMELY WELL! All the major sites are pretty much full, with the smaller ones slowly getting there :)SoFrickenEXCITED!
