Lucy OS thread - 332.2M

Recommended Posts

Biggest individual day of the year was today here. Over 20000 tickets sold. It will end the weekend very close to 70000 tickets sold. Beats the OW of The Hunger Games 2. Easily biggest OW of the year. It will pass Godzilla and Edge of Tomorrow on Monday, CA2, TASM2, Hercules and X-Men until Thursday. Should pass Apes 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy by the end of the next weekend. Absolutely insane.

The film has been slated for Sep 12th in China. Shanghai's Fundamental Films will actually handle the distribution & marketing while CFGC is serving as the official distributor. Fundamental Films has long term co-production-distribution agreement with Besson's EuropaCorp, meaning the latter's films will all be distributed by FF in China. This year they just have had big success in Brick Mansions, which has made more than $29m in China.

Something doesn't add up there.

 

Domestic is a bit over 113m, so if OS is 103 then total should be 116. Either that or OS is actually 113m. :huh:

 

It looks like that is a typo and they added 10M to the WW number by mistake.

Luc Besson’s Lucy continued flexing its muscle overseas this weekend with an additional $34M in its 4th session. Of that, $28.5M was earned across 38 territories where Universal is releasing. The international total for Universal is now $65M and the overall offshore take is $103M. The Scarlett Johansson-led sci-fi actioner has now bested the $81.8M overseas box office of 2008’s Taken. Besson co-wrote and produced, but did not direct, that pic which established Liam Neeson as an international action draw and spawned a lucrative franchise. It’s also surpassed comp title Limitless ($82.6M). With 22 markets still to roll out through September, it will continue to grow. Next weekend, Lucy opens in nine territories including Brazil, Mexico, Thailand and Japan where Besson has a strong track record.

Among the new opening markets this frame, Lucy debuted at No. 1 in Israel, New Zealand, Portugal, Serbia/Montenegro, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine and the UK/Ireland. It also held first place for the second week in Germanywhere its 11-day total is $10.1M.

With a huge $6.3M at 69 dates, Taiwan had Universal’s 2nd biggest opening behindFast & Furious 6 and the best bow ever for Besson. It was also worth a massive $91,300 per screen. Besson’s recent publicity tour in Taipei paid off. In theUK/IrelandLucy earned $5.2M at 482 dates and 26% of the market. That’s Universal’s 4th No. 1 opening this year and, as with many other markets, is the biggest-ever opening of a film directed by Besson. Spain had 44% of the market with $3.5M at 335 dates. The debut gives Universal its biggest opening of 2014 and Besson’s biggest opening ever in the country. Across Chile, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Portugal, Serbia/Montenegro, Singapore, Sweden and Ukraine, Besson also notched his biggest openings ever. Ahead of the weekend, Lucy was running as the No. 7 film of the year in France where it’s released by Besson’s EuropaCorp.

Lucy sells over 72000 tickets here in the first 4 days. Insane debut. Easily the biggest of the year. Previous holder of that record was TF4 with 60000 tickets sold. It also beats the openings of last year's The Hunger Games 2, Frozen, World War Z and every single Marvel movie from the Avengers Universe (yes, it had a bigger OW than The Avengers!). Doubled the OWs of Man of Steel and CA2. It will pass the totals of Godzilla and Edge of Tomorrow today!

The movie is jumping from yesterday. Crazy performance. Just crazy. A bigger first Monday than first Sunday :o

 

How much as it earned there in dollars? 

 

Luc Besson’s Lucy shot to the top of the international chart in its 4th frame this week with a total addition of $34.6M from Universal and EuropaCorp markets — and there’s more to come next week. In 38 territories, Lucy grabbed a total of $65.2M to boost its international total to $104.4M.

It started with 40000 admissions here ( relatively small compared to the 102000 first weekend admissions of 300: RoE) and now, in it's fourth weekend, it made the same as GotG in it's third. Incredibly leggy movie. It has a small chance to top 10 for the year. Also, it helps that the market was dead this weekend (TMNT flopped; also Step Up bombed, that's just shocking here; and As above/So below did horrible).
