AOU may still cut its legs (we get it earlier here) but 40m seems to be a given at the moment.

Even 7.3m is a 50% dip. Still good.

[Robertron]

That exchange rate is killing FF7. It's around 30m here already and it's still only US23M.

[DeeCee]

AOU vs FF7 is going to be far more interesting then expected.  With no public holidays and without the Wednesday public holiday opening of The Avengers it might struggle to get to $50m.

[Robertron]

I always think about a films gross like this: if it's a film people want to see, they will make the effort to see it.

[DeeCee]

True, but it's going to start $6m behind.  I would say the opening weekend needs to be at least $17m for it to get close to $50m.

[JJ-8]

How about.

Wed 0.5

Thurs 6.5

Fri 4.0

Sat 3.0

Sun 4.1

17.6 / 18.1 ???

Does that work?

[Rthmessiah]

6.5 thu just fuck me every way possible, SA will be only state still on holidays if  does anywhere near that be amazing, anything possible these days

[keysersoze123]

I think too much is expected out of Avengers. I doubt its going to grow in developed markets. 1st one was uber blockbuster and these markets dont grow much unless there are other catalysts and Avengers dont have anything. I wont be surprised to see it drop in local currency in few markets(Japan for sure).

[DeeCee]

Looks like DH2 had school holidays everywhere but Queensland.  I'm thinking 15.5-16m for AOU.

Dat school holiday effect.

F7 should be around $38-39m by Sunday.

Prolly right on TA AOU. still nice to dream. Lol

Yeah I suspect an opening around 15.5 is more likely.

[Robertron]

I'm still in shock over FF7. I mean, I was expecting 30-33m as a final total which is still a huge increase from FF6. But this? This is straight up ridiculous.

[Ball Lightning]

Previews for Avengers will be over $1m I feel. We already have 4 sessions and have sold more tickets than all the hunger games and Ironman midnight sessions.

[DeeCee]

The Water Diviner is on Channel 7 on Monday.

George Street looks to be at least $25,000+ in ticket sales for the Wednesday night.  That would suggest at least over $500,000 for previews.

Anyone think that potters OW record could go down? I think OD record is mostly safe here but I think TA AOU could surprise and break it.

Assume each level is above the previous.

Under 10m - probably flop territory.

Under 14m - dissappointment.

Under 16m - expected / good

Under potter - excellent result

Over potter. Time for jaw drops.

My non fan boy predict is 15.5m + 0.7m Wednesday.

The fanboy in me nudges it up to 1.1m wed. 18.5m OW

Wow.

Is it in a new location? Campbelltown moved when they opened the new one.
