Deadline says $1.87m OD.   

No. They say that's the combined total for Australia and New Zealand. Still, that probably means about USD1.5-6 for Australia. That's about AUD1.9m on the opening Thursday. It's heading for an opening weekend north of AUD8m.

Do you think it can beat 50S's total there?

[Ball Lightning]

Yeah our previews were huge for it! It's going to be a busy night tonight for sure..

I'll do some comparisons later on in the day for us

[DeeCee]

Do you think it can beat 50S's total there?

If it's at least $9.5m for the weekend then it will beat FSOG in Australia.

 

Don't forget the gross for PP in Australia was already equivalent to over USD130m in the domestic market so the sequel is coming off a much higher base here then anywhere else.

Was New Zealand about NZD140,000?

 

Would this suggest an opening weekend of $7m?

NZ 255k cume 347

 

Depends if there was rushout factor wkened so yes should be at least 7 but could go high as 9

AUO be #2 should be 3-4m for weekend

[Rthmessiah]

FF7 has now past CF @ George St cinemas (one biggest in world) to rank #10 all films in last 15 years

[keysersoze123]

4m for AOU is good considering its after a holiday weekend. 3m would be meh. But it looks like F7 will beat AOU in australia.

There was no holiday last weekend.

[keysersoze123]

There was no holiday last weekend.

 

No Labor day(May day) holiday for Aussies?

[DeeCee]

No Labor day(May day) holiday for Aussies?

No.  

 

The Labour Day public holiday varies considerably between the various states and territories. It is the first Monday in October in the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. In both Victoria and Tasmania, it is the second Monday in March. In Western Australia, Labour Day is the first Monday in March. In the Northern Territory it is the first Monday in May.

Falling further behind FF7.

Monster day at work today for PP2. I think we were slightly subdued yesterday compared with the nation but we're looking at easily a $2m+ day if the nation follows my sites increase.

should end up around 2.1

[Mockingjay Raphael]

should end up around 2.1

 

$4.1 in two days then, $8m+ OW is locked?

[Ball Lightning]

Today is going to be big. I could see a $2.8-$3.0m day followed by about $2m tomorrow for a $8.5m weekend. Australian box office on fire these last few months. 

Rth, how are we going YTD? 

[DeeCee]

I agree. Went to a 90% full 1:50pm session today. This should have a big Saturday.

The audience loved the Aussie themed jokes.

I like PP1 and I'm glad that it's sequel's doing very well though it isn't the type of movie I pay to see in theatre. I believe I'm going to like PP2 too whenever I can see it.
