PanaMovie Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think we might have a new franchise! I hope so! It was a very good and entertaining movie I hope it does well in the rest of latinamerica. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbar Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have to give it back to you mazerunner23 the results are quite decent. It may do good in developing markets. If Latin America likes it Russia will probably like it. The local distro is dumb though because they compare it to Twilight. Didn't work here for other movies, won't work again (but they also open it against what will be the biggest movie of the year) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know that it must also be strong in the Asian market. Next week will be very interesting. With the OW of these markets, what you hope is the total? Do you live in Poland, right? Which movie will be the biggest of the year in your country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisson23 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hey that's pretty good Yes!! With the asians markets being strong, it has a big chance finish near from Hunger Games' international result or even surpass.Congratulations to Wes Ball! he deserves!

Mockingjay Raphael Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 "A week ahead of its U.S. debut, The Maze Runner opened in five international markets and earned $8.3 million. It took first place in all five markets, and also opened above Divergent in each one. Its only major market was Mexico ($2.6 million), though it was more impressive in Taiwan ($2.2 million), Malaysia ($1.9 million) and Singapore ($1.4 million). It expands to 48 new markets (along with the U.S.) next weekend." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbar Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yes!!With the asians markets being strong, it has a big chance finish near from Hunger Games' international result or even surpass.Congratulations to Wes Ball! he deserves! 280-300M OS? That would be very surprising given the results are a positive surprise but not a total stomp like they should be for such run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisson23 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 280-300M OS? That would be very surprising given the results are a positive surprise but not a total stomp like they should be for such run.The movie may have good legs because of the good WOM and weak direct competition. The legs for Hunger Games were normal, nothing surprising.It's possible Maze Runner surpass Hunger Games But IMO the target now is 200M-220M, depend of this weekend results.

It won't have weak competition everywhere and in many markets september is a weak month. Also we don't know about wom so far. The reviews are mediocre and the imdb sample size is to small to say anything about wom. Also Hunger games had much better viewes and it had very good WOM. So how can this get better legs with worse WOM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight had better legs than Hunger Games. So you mean Twilight had better WOM and is a better movie than Hunger Games?Legs DON'T depend ONLY of WOM.I said the WOM can help maze runner but isn't the only reason that could do it has better legs than Hunger Games.

So please suggest me what factors convinced you Maze Runner will have better Legs than the Hunger games? As for big releases they depend on the country. Argentina is dominated by wild tales and it will take 5th first spot next weekend, Asian markets are still to open a lot of big hollywood movies and Poland will have a movie that will probably to 10-15x the result of maze runner opening on the same weekend. Also Hunger games didn't face strong comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie is target for males. Good part of them don't watch in OW. Go search and look at Hunger Games legs, they aren't big thing.3 big OS competitionJohn carterWrath of titans BattleshipMaze runner won't see a competition not even close of that BO level.
