Its down a matter of 25ish screens from the previous Hobbit films. Negligible amount, imo.

 

while minor, given the average it pulled it's possible that BOFTA could have come a lot closer to AUJ OD than it ended up.  Still we talking big $ vs big $ here

So Big Hero 6 is basically flopping down under?

It's not a boxing day film. We have a month of summer holidays so it's going to do just fine!

[Ball Lightning]

$2.3AU here yesterday for a total of $9m. Should hit $11.5AU at least for the weekend.

I hope so!

True but it does face penguins on New Year's Day which could be an issue given the low start.

I really thought this would match Ralph as a min. Really puts a doubt in my mind for it reaching 20m.

Big drop there.

I was hoping for 12m+ after that opening day.

Still we are only 2 days in. Giving it time here.

[humanscrabble]

not good... Ralph i believe made 2.4m OD on boxing day 2012.

 

I'm not really sure what to make of that opening for BH6.  seems it hasn't clicked as well here as it did stateside.

I don't think Big Hero 6 is flopping down under. WIR made $1.145 mil AUD when it opened on Boxing Day in 2012 whereas BH6 made slightly more than that--$1.3 mil AUD. Deadline.com also says that Big Hero 6's Australian opening weekend was 19% stronger than WIR's, and 18% behind Frozen's, both of which opened on Boxing Day there. Frozen went on to gross $31mil+ USD, and WIR ended its Australian run with a gross of $23.9mil USD, so Big Hero 6's final Australian gross should wind up somewhere between WIR's and Frozen's.

Hobbit just got over $12m and BH6 got over $3.5m for the weekend.

So its an improvement over DOS even though it had one less day, thats pretty good

[DeeCee]

The DOS numbers don't make sense. $400,000 only on Sunday?

[Robertron]

I'm pretty happy with 12m for BOFA, but I was hoping that BH6 could've reached at least 4, possibly 4.5.

It makes sense? It made $2.9m on the Sunday for a weekend weekend amount of $14.2m..

[John Marston]

So the lowest opening of the three

He's since edited the post.

Everyday except boxing day is pretty equal around this time, so it's pretty equal with DOS.

[humanscrabble]

So Big Hero 6 made $3.7 million AUD from Friday to Sunday versus Wreck It Ralph which made $4.0 million AUD from Thursday to Sunday when it opened in 2012? 

[TServo2049]

Where did you get the Ralph OW? I had been searching and searching and couldn't find it.

[JJ-8]

So the lowest opening of the three

Hard to compare apples for apples.

AUJ opened on a Wednesday so had a 5 day opening. 12m OW / 17.9m 5 day

DOS opened on a thurs (normal 4 day) 14.2m ow

BOFTA opened on a Friday resulting in only 3 days to make 12.1m ow (3 days only)

For comparison:

TTT (4 day) - 14.3m

ROTK (3 day) - 12.7m

12.1 is fine. Not fantastic or stunning but it's fine. Still a great start.

Apologies on my confusion with bh6 vs Ralph. I somehow got some numbers confused when comparing. Bh6 has started ok. Not stunning but strong enough to play thru jan.
