Australia Australian Box Office | ....

[Robertron]

I Hope not. Every cent that Bay doesn't get is good for the cinema.

I'd rather it make billions and cinemas do well as a result, than it not.

[RthDeadWov]

Horrible opening week for TF4.Sub 14m for first 8 days. Is 25m even possible?

yep

[Fake]

How much is 2nd weekend looking at?

[LexJoker]

TASM2 really did bomb in Aus right? Not even $15M total?

Possibly just scraped by AUD16m. Rth?

[RTX]

Am I the only one who gets the impression that AUS box office is just weak this year in general?

not quite yet.. TASM 2 is just short of 16m i beleive but i think it will just pass the mark in the end... still very disappointing.

The last I remember it was at 15.94m at the end of May.

We haven't had that ONE major hit we've usually had by now. The #1 movie is what..? Lego?

[Robertron]

No wait, Frozen?

[Ball Lightning]

Frozen is technically last year?It's all been decent, but nothing has broken out except maybe The Lego Movie..We were up on admissions at work, though that was helped by a local cinema closing down...Apart from DotPotA and Guardians, the next period is looking really sparse :/

No, not disappointing.

The top 5 films of 2014 are (this is based upon released in 2014)

 

1. The Lego Movie 29.8m

2. The Wolf of Wall Street 23.3m

3. X-Men: Days of Future Past 22.2m

4. The Other Woman 20.2m

5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 19.9m

 

If you include "Calendar Year" grosses you also have:

 

Frozen 25.4m

The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug 20.7m

 

For comparison last year:

 

at the same point of the year:

 

1. Iron Man 3 39.2m

2. Life of Pi 28.3m

3. Fast & Furious 6 25.7m

4. The Croods 25.3m

5. The Great Gatsby 24.6m

6. The Hangover Part III 20.9m

7. Despicable Me 2 17.6m ** went on to make 35m something that Dragon 2 won't come close too **

 

Adding in Calendar Year grosses (from 2012)

The Hobbit: An unexpected journey 23.8m

Les Miserables 18.9m

Wreck it ralph 18.3m

 

we certainly have less 20m films and the top film is not even in the same league.  so yeah .. 2014 is not going well so far.

[JJ-8]

The last I remember it was at 15.94m at the end of May.

it's up to 15.96m... 

 

scratch the idea of it reaching 16m.. it will fall short given it's all but left cinemas now... (if it's showing at all that is)

[JJ-8]

No, not disappointing.

 I dunno.. 16m is pretty bad..  given it's a new lowpoint for Spiderman here.. though Spidey has never really performed at the same level as the US anyway, and i guess TASM 2 has held up against TASM better here than it did in the US .. still i consider it a disappointment.  I really thought TASM2 coudl have turned it around and made it past 20m with the right film.. though it was more directly contending with CA2 here....

[DeeCee]

I don't consider it disappointing because the movie is crap. Under $10m would have been nice.

[baumer]

So what is Transformers at?

[TServo2049]

How did Dragon manage a nearly 20% increase with not only competition from TF4, but also Rio 2 opening on the same weekend?

Holidays.

[Ball Lightning]

This past week and next week are the winter school holidays. Should see a 0-5% drop for both HtTYD2, and Rio 2.
