fastclock Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 If only BOM was still receiving weekend numbers from more than a fraction of markets. I don't even know how BH6 did in Germany and France, let alone any of Latin America (even Mexico stops at November 16, when they stopped getting data for the majority of countries). So I assume in EU/LA it was only so-so? It seems that the only markets they consistently receive data from now are Australia, China, the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. (Russia and Ukraine stop in January.) You can see my post #408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin Frohike Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Yes, it would be really amazing that China becomes top OS market for a Disney movie. It would, and if anything it would make Disney and its shareholders (like me) feel a bit better about the huge, expensive theme park they're opening next year in Shanghai. One movie is not much, but any small foothold in that seemingly impenetrable market would be welcome news. Well, besides the superhero aspect or the story, one has to wonder whether the rest of the world outside of Asia were ready for an Asian-American protagonist. True, but it still did well enough outside of Asia and NA to gross over $600M WW, and that's a big win, as far as I'm concerned, all things considered. It's pretty much what I had expected, in terms of distribution, although admittedly I was hoping--if not expecting--the movie to do a bit better in NA, LA, and Europe in absolute terms than it has done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel movies are already big success in China, and Star Wars will be quite big in China too. Hope the Disney land will help Disney's future animated movies, I don't have faith in their original animated movies,Finding Dory and TS4 should be big here though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigley Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 BH6 could stay above $10M in China this wknd: it's share of showtimes is similar to last wknd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A District 3 Engineer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) BH6 did great in Asia - unfortunately, it was mediocre pretty much everywhere else. It did really well in Venezuela! It's a great number for a country with just 30m inhabitants. Edited March 12, 2015 by A District 3 Engineer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin Frohike Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Marvel movies are already big success in China, and Star Wars will be quite big in China too. I'm more concerned about the actual Disney-branded products (and also Pixar), since the new resort and theme park will be part of that. Hope the Disney land will help Disney's future animated movies, I sure wouldn't mind that happening, and it might, although I was hoping that the movies would have helped the brand get a stronger foothold before billions were committed to a theme park. The latter flopping in China would hurt one hell of a lot more than just movies, and Disney has already had and is having problems with Hong Kong Disneyland as it is. Granted, the latter is an example of gross underinvestment from the start while the new Shanghai Disneyland should be the polar opposite in this respect--designed from the outset to truly impress--but it's still a bit unnerving. At least Big Hero 6 seems to be doing well in China, although I would attribute this primarily to its subject matter as opposed to the Disney brand.

Melvin Frohike Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It did pretty good in Latin America. Better than Tangled and Wreck it Ralph It did, although admittedly I expected it to do a bit better still. Its problem was Europe Agreed, it's really weak there--I expected weaker performance in Europe than other regions, but not quite this weak. By the way, I'm still boggled by how well sequels of some of the sillier animated features perform in Europe. I guess like superhero movies in NA, there are broad regional cultural preferences (not to stereotype as they don't necessarily apply to every country in every case, especially in Asia it seems). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingdong123 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Well BH6 was just really weak in Brazil, but its overall SA performance was great. And I'm more than pleased with its Asian performance. Europe could've done more but atleast it didn't end up doing the Wreck it Flop route there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 THR: Disney celebrated a second victory over the weekend as the Oscar-winning Big Hero 6 became the top-grossing animated release of 2014 ahead of How to Train Your Dragon 2 ($618.9 million) thanks to a late run in China and other key international markets. Through Sunday, Big Hero's global tally is $632.8 million, including $75.8 million in Japan and $66.5 million in China, where it has become the No. 1 non-seqeul animated film of all time after 16 days of release, and the No. 3 animated title of all time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
