Damn, 55,000 in Ireland which is a country with a population reaching 4.5 million it's just HUGE! That would mean 575,000 in Spain and 807,000 in France ^^

I have faith...the french will not fall for this.

 

Oh, who am I kidding, the hordes of sheep will run in the theaters, as usual. Most of them probably haven't seen a good movie in their life and couldn't tell a Hitchcock from a Michael Bay.

Why  Italy tickets are better than Spain?

 

Because maybe the book is more popular here than in Spain. But, in general, at the moment Italian BO is bigger than spanish. It depends also on it, I guess.

So you are saying the movie will be shit because it's about sex and bondage?  Is that all you base it on?

[Chriss]

Over here nearly all screenings on wednesday are sold out. Those are not just two or three screenings per evening, most theaters threw out their entire evening program to only show 50 Shades. Valentine's day is promising to be huge as well. If the Netherlands are to speak for the entirety of Europe, then it will be Wolf of Wall Street big in this continent.

It will be successful in France but I don't expect it to break any records here though..

Pretty much every medium/major sized theaters is sold out for the OD at night, Friday and VD. More screens will be added. Over 40,000 tickets sold and the number is increasing in a big way by every day it passes.

And Italy is more populated, that's quite important to notice

This market is dead or slow most of the time and suddenly it's very dynamic thanks to 50 Shades of Grey, it's a bit weird..

Fifty Shades of Grey will probably exceed all expectations.  I mean, come on, it's already BLOWING UP judging from the pre-sales and domestically, it will probably do $230 - 260 million.  And of course, it's international sum will be HUGE!

 

~ Fifty Shades of Grey: $230 - 260 million domestic and $350 million international, $580 - 610 million WW
