High?

I didn't expect much from it. Edited March 27, 2014 by lab276

[Ball Lightning]

I'd say actually closer to $3m is likely, really just depends on how well it performs on the weekend.

[DeeCee]

I'd expect a minimum $3m.

[DeeCee]

Has anyone seen it?

[Ball Lightning]

We had quite a few walkouts today, though also we had quite a few people praising it.

[Robertron]

I'd expect at least $3.5m from Noah. Given it's recent successes in Mexico and Korea, I'd be slightly disappointed with <$3m.

[RthDeadWov]

Noah 2,3, 3.5..lets try....5m had initially been figuring min 4

YEEEES!!

[DeeCee]

So double Black Swan and maybe just shy of Robin Hood.

"Paramount reports that Noah earned a strong $750,000 opening day in Australia on Wednesday. That's about 20 percent ahead of Gravity's $615,000 first day take in the country".

[lab276]

Why is it being compared with Gravity? Is it their base for success?

I don't know!

[Ball Lightning]

Yeah my initial thoughts were way off It just felt so quiet at work but it was pretty spread out across the sessions. 

 

Well Village have been really pushing it and trying to make it into a blockbuster, looks like they're succeeding!

[Robertron]

Yeh I have no idea why its being compared to Gravity... Strange.

In what could a psychological barrier for movie-goers, the top price of an ordinary cinema ticket has hit $20.

Two Sydney cinemas have pioneered the price increase — the Cremorne Orpheum and Palace Norton Street in Leichhardt — and others are expected to follow around the country soon.

"It's just a question of a short period of time," said the chief executive of Palace Cinemas, Benjamin Zeccola, who blamed increases in wages, rent and maintenance and energy costs.

"Ticket prices need to keep pace with rising costs. It's horrendously expensive running cinemas."
