Mancho Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I think it will hold well in most markets, seems to be having good weekdays grosses all around. (I know some numbers have been posted already) From Screen Daily: "Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic stands at $121.1m overall and established a new record for the director in China. The film added $16.2m overall on November 12, led by a $2.3m haul in South Korea to reach $20.1m, $1.6m in the UK for $12.4m and $898,000 in Russia for $11.6m. Spain generated $537,000 for $3.7m, Italy $475,000 for $4.9m, Germany $455,000 for $6m, Australia $403,000 for $5m, France $376,000 for $9.1m, Mexico $325,000 for $4m and Brazil $195,000 for $2.4m." http://www.screendaily.com/box-office/interstellar-scores-record-china-opening-for-nolan/5080015.article?referrer=RSS 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Interstellar is going to be one of those mysteries in Hollywood accounting. Why in the world did Paramount decide to keep domestic distribution and give up the overseas distribution to someone else? Should have done the opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Paramount getting the rights to friday the 13th and south park probably had a big say in it. They could have accepted the fact that they might see a small loss from interstellar in exchange for profit down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a big loss for them if it ends up around $150m like many of us expect. Over time I think they will get their money back with home video, TV rights, and profits from South Park/F13.

redfirebird2008 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 How do you calculate that it's $250m? Production budget is $165m and Paramount covers half, so that is $82.5m spent right there. Worldwide marketing was probably $100m budget, with Paramount covering half. So that's $50m spent right there. That puts their total spending at $132.5m and obviously they do not get anywhere near 100% of the box office revenue since the theaters get a nice chunk of it. If you figure Paramount gets around 53% of the domestic revenue, they would need the movie to make a domestic total of $250m to break even on their $132.5m investment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough CGI building explosions or Matthew McConaughey fighting aliens for American audiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a lot of sense when you break it down like that. I guess paramount was reasonably confident that Interstellar would be doing a whole lot better domestically than it is right now, as did almost everyone pre-release. Good deal for WB though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigley Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Interstellar has made $135.5M overseas. It will make about $20M in China this weekend (Wed and Thu are included in the $135.5M) and thus it only needs $45M this weekend from holdovers to reach $200M. That would be a 46% drop from last weekend. The extraordinary weekday numbers suggest that this is possible. I wonder whether the party will end next weekend with the Hunger Games release. $400M still looks tough for Interstellar but definitely not impossible.

pepsa Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Yep, with China's friday bumb it's back on track for a good run. Atleast no NFS numbers, so yeah 350M OS is locked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Interstellar Saturday 74M/$12.0/ 184/$29.91 It has rebounded very nicely. 40M for 5-day should happen now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
