The main theatre chain here now completely pulled out Exodus from the schedule to make room for TH. It's a scheduling nightmare, because Exodus opened on the other smaller chains, but considering the main one owns about 75% of the market, the movie will likely suffer a slow death. 

 

I realy wished you lived in the USA, cause that would happen in USA we would be talking about a 300M opening

Losing is not the same as pulling out But still great news!

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies took home #1 openings in all of its 17 new markets. The film finished Thursday with $13.7 million from 28 overseas markets and is currently reporting a $26.6 million cume outside of North America.

The film scored the biggest opening of all time for a Warner Bros. release in Russia, hauling in $2.5 million from 2,285 screens. The Brazilian debut accounted for $1.3 million from 1,037 -a figure that goes up to $1.8 million after including previews. Mexico brought in $1.1 million from approximately 2,775 screens -not a bad figure considering the first leg of the country's soccer league final was broadcast on Wednesday night. Five Armies is already tracking 39% higher than Desolation of Smaug in Mexico. The film recorded the biggest opening day of the year in New Zealand with $529k. Eastern Europe rounds out new openings with a collective $1.5 million haul from 9 markets.

Second day results continue to bring good news as well. Germany added another $2.1 million from 1,442 screens to reach a $5.3 million two-day total. France brought in $1.5 million from 914 screens to reach a two-day total of $4.2 million.

Looks like $1B WW is foregone conclusion

BOFA has already grossed 26.6mln overseas in two early days. This will be good news for BOFA hitting a billion since its about 4 percent higher than AUJ and about 50 percent higher than DOS. This could reach 750 OS, i think. BO is predicting 305mln domestic.

Very interesting numbers.

305/750/1,055

[Michael Seng Wah]

Still thinking of

 

270DOM and 730OS = 1bil.

 

Hopefully it closes above AUJ, that's make it one last time.

[eXtacy]

Good early signs, this is easily tracking above a billion now.

[Leyla]

not gonna start celebrating still

considering here it can gross at least 10mil less than DOS in $

Dont think so, it will make much more than desolation.

In Germany, it was as far as I know the widest release of this century so far. So, let's wait and see how it holds, the wider opening might result in a steeper decline in demand because good opening weekend tickets were much easier to get than for H1+2

[Asyulus]

$665 mln

Seems overly underestimate...

I really don't know how much the weaker Euro and ruble will hurt, but it might happen that even a 10% plus in admissions results in less US$. (The reverse happened with the last part of LotR; RotK had impressive OS numbers thanks to the weak US$)

In fact FOTR sold more admissions than ROTK in several European countries. Exchange rates hurted FOTR (and other 2001-2002 releases) a lot if we compare with the upcoming years..

Yes, easy thing to do.

[pepsa]

Nope it won't I see 700M with china, it will drop harder than DoS and AUJ. You are overestimating it like hell.

[Leyla]

Dont think so, it will make much more than desolation.

it may outgross DOS in local currency but in $ - much less (i.e. MJ1 outgrossed CF here but in $ it fell hard)

 

BotFA can gross even less than 30 mil so I'm just preparing people not to expect anything close to DOS (45)

 

its up to China to compensate

Just re-watched ROTK. How the was was it possibe for them to make that without at least a 300M budget?! It's so heavy on big scale effects it's mind blowing. The battle at The Fields of Pelennor is such a huge accomplishments in film making.
