Is that in USD or AUS dollars, because then TA2 looks to drop big time in USD? 

 

Since this is Aus thread numbers reported here are in Aus $. Rough exchange rate is 0.78 us$ per 1 AU$. But RTH has said previously studios tend to negotiate better rates in advance if they feel the rates will go down. So you have to assume they would do better than that.

We're roughly at 80-83% of yesterday's gross for Avengers, so if that happens then we're looking at around $4.2m for today.

So about 16.7m over the 5 day?

[DeeCee]

It's more like 4.33 days.

[JJ-8]

From BOM's report. We got an opening of 13.1m USD. That should be in the range of 16.6m to 16.8m (pretty much in line with earlier updates. Nice)

FYI - the USD opening will include the previews. While the final AUD won't

Sunday had great hold weekend should end up around 15.7 cume 17.1m

3rd biggest OWe behind DH2/T:NM

Fri was 8th biggest, Sat/Sun 2nd biggest

 

FF7 #2 -64% up to 40.3m

[JJ-8]

Impressive. Most impressive!

[JJ-8]

Fantastic that ff7 got to 40m this weekend.

And as for AOU. that opening should place it well for a 45m finish. 50m will take some special holds.

Still opening this doesn't guarantee a finish above 40m. Just very likely.

So as it stands AOU will trail TA by 2.2m as of Monday. Be interesting if it close that gap up by Thursday at all. No doubting that AOU had a stronger Sunday than TA so here's hoping it translates into the weekdays.

TA had by the end Wednesday 22.8m.

3m to 4m weekdays for AOU should put it closer.

[Fake]

In AUD, TA2 will finish about 10m lower than TA but in USD about 20m.

[eXtacy]

Mondays hold should be decent, WA gets a public holiday today

[keysersoze123]

Australian market is among the disappointing ones. Avatar grossed 100m back in 2009 but hardly any movie even hit 50m these days.

[DeeCee]

Avatar is looking more and more like a freak aberration.  The equivalent gross in the US would be over $1 billion.  Avatar 2 will be luck to make half of the first one.

What was the 3D share like?  Did the percentage drop from the Wednesday shows to Sunday?

You can't really think about it in terms of Avatar. That was a beast beyond imagining. It's numbers represent an equivalent of $1b+ in America and it sold the same amount of tickets as Titanic.

The Australian market has been pretty steady in size since 2000 in admissions. It hasn't grown, but it isn't slipping away like America.

The Australian market has been pretty steady in size since 2000 in admissions. It hasn't grown, but it isn't slipping away like America.

It's starting to, 2014 was the first year with less than 80m tickets since 1997. This year looks like it'll jump though.

[TalismanRing]

In AUD, TA2 will finish about 10m lower than TA but in USD about 20m.

 

You really think it's legs are going to be so mediocre it only does $34m U.S.?

[DeeCee]

The likely range is USD37-40m.

I would normally agree with you, but we all thought the same thing about Avatar following Titanic. Cameron will put in some new technological innovation combined with mind-blowing visuals and a simple enough story to have the first movie making over 3B WW.

[Fake]

You really think it's legs are going to be so mediocre it only does $34m U.S.?

Around 2.6x multiplier is not mediocre, it is standard for sequels with good but not spectacular WOM, I think.

 

For example, IM3 got 2.54x multiplier from its 4-day weekend number.

 

If TA2 gets the same from its 4-day, it will finish with 41.3m AUD or 32.3m USD.

 

I am expecting slightly better legs.
