I need more Latin American numbers!

In Argentina it is falling around 30% this weekend and its new total should be around $5.2m

[Olive]

Big Hero 6 opened in Taiwan this weekend where it posted $1.9M, the second highest all-time debut weekend for an animated release and biggest ever for a Disney Animation studio title.

Hong Kong this session helped Big Hero 6 surpass Frozen to become the highest grossing Disney Animation release ever.

Good omen for mailand performance.

Walt Disney Animation Studios Films this decade

2010: Tangled

Worldwide Rank: 8, Gross: 591.8M

Domestic Rank: 10, Gross: 200.8M

2011: Winnie The Pooh

Worldwide Rank: 131, Gross: 33.2M

Domestic Rank: 105 , Gross: 26.7M

2012: Wreck-it Ralph

Worldwide Rank: 14, Gross: 189.4M

Domestic Rank: 13, Gross: 471.2M

2013: Frozen

Worldwide Rank: 1, Gross: 1.27B

Domestic Rank: 3, Gross: 400.7M

2014: Big Hero 6

Current Worldwide Rank: 17, Gross: 378.7M

Current Domestic Rank: 9, Gross: 211.3M

Big Hero 6 is looking to finish at about 225-230M domestically, and probably around 550-600M worldwide. The domestic number would make it comfortably sit in the number 9 position in North America, but unfortunately might not hit the top 10 worldwide (might end up at #12 WW). Still, it's a massive improvement over Wreck-it Ralph's number, and also that of Tangled domestically. We need a few markets to break out. I'm counting on China this time.

Edit: If Big Hero 6 doesn't hit the top 10 WW, it'll be the first time since 1997 to not feature an animated film in the top 10. That's a freaking 17 years ago!

I think that BH6's slow release is making the WW numbers look worse.  There are still many major markets left, and I could see BH6 sneaking into the top 10 with good numbers in China and South Korea

To reach the top 10 WW, Big Hero 6 needs to attain a total of about 660M. That is equivalent to430-435M in international markets. Pretty tough I must say.

It still has quite a few big markets left. France, China, SK, UK and few more.

I don't think this will make $45m in South Korea but I could be wrong.

[Dingdong123]

So BH6 will be released on home video this february, while its china release will be march. Isn't piracy very widespread in china? I feel like this home video release may prevent its success in china in this case.

[pepsa]

I don't think this will make $45m in South Korea but I could be wrong.

 

I don't think so either but china could do beter than frozen.

[23IsEverywhere]

I don't think so either but china could do beter than frozen.

I am hoping it can have a decent breakout especially if they advertise the Marvel link in China.

BIG HERO 6: $194.5M Overseas Total / $408.9M Global Total #BigHero6

[Quigley]

$408.9 million total for Big Hero 6. The drop in North America this weekend (-53%) was about average (-51%) among releases with more than 1000 theaters. Overseas, the film had an excellent week and is now at $194.5 million. With no new major releases this past weekend, it seems to have had very small decreases in some territories but no weekend number has yet been disclosed. With a holiday in Japan on Monday, it will reach $200 million before Friday.

Good stats. Well, we didn't have a Pixar movie this year.

[Quigley]

It turns out that BH6 only made $12.6M during the weekend. That's a 41% drop from last weekend. Thought it had held better but it made $15.4M during the weekdays so I can't complain. Only a few minor debuts next weekend, but I hope the summer holidays in Latin America and Australia help it reach $210M by next weekend. Many European territories arrive in late January and early February but with the EUR-to-USD ratio having fallen to a neraly ten-year low, reaching HTTYD2's worldwide gross will be tough. Let's hope for the best.
