Tower Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Then is balanced, high for ones and low for others... I don't have data for Israel even, only Percy Jackson numbers. Well catching Fire made 3.7M, HP8 made 3.35M, with the Potters before that making between 2-3M. Edited August 24, 2014 by Tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisson23 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Well catching Fire made 3.7M, HP8 made 3.35M, with the Potters before that making between 2-3M. But this is the first movie of saga, compare with sequels isn't right. And yeah, 300K is too low Edited August 24, 2014 by MazeRunner23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 But this is the first movie of saga, compare with sequels isn't right. And yeah, 300K is too low It's also less than I Am Number 4, TFIOS etc. But my comment was more about the disparity between Israel and Portugal, The Maze Runner may end up flopping everywhere, I don't know. But if it makes 150M OS, it should do more than 300K in Israel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ban1o Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Does this really have a 15 rating in the UK? Are they going to cut it to get a 12 rating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbar Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I made my estimate based on the anticipation in my country, which is big despite the fact that the books were never published here and 'Teen Wolf' is not on TV. Europe will do big number for this and the marketplace is empty. 200M is not that much. Since when Europe does well with YA adaptations? All recent tries have bombed HARD in europe. I'm basing it on my country where even a great marketing effort and big campaign from the biggest distributor meant nothing. Please look at numbers of Mortal Instruments and Divergent. The movie should be somewhere in between (it looks better than both but Divergent and Mortal instruments books were more popular). Mortal instruments bombed everywhere outside of Russia and Germany (it is a type of movie germans like for some crazy reason) and even there it was far from stellar. I will be surprised if it exceeds 10mil in any euro country. 7-8mil in the biggest markets would be a success.

xSabrinax Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I liked the trailer a lot. I hope it can do better than Divergent. But it's kinda hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how hard other distros will push it but Divergent had a big push in US 1 month before relese. Maze runner? It's still quiet. Wonder if it will translate to the international strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well Divergente is distributed by Lionsgate. It is an advantage. Fox is not a good distributor. Divergent is distributed by LG only in America. Other countries have other distributors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pretty much looks like fantasy/SF and that does decent in Europe, especially the first. MI looked like your average Twilight copy flick, and Divergent was also aiming for a female audience. This looks more like an action movie with a popular among females star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanaMovie Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 premieres september 11th here in Panama (Central America), not the 19 as it says on the list I think it can be a success in Latin America, I have seen many people buying the book with the cover of the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's the "popular among females" star? Also The Host had 10x better marketing materials making it look like a quality sci-fi picture, it had the director of Gattaca, it had Saoirse Ronan and Diane Kruger (bigger name than any of the ones in Maze runner, especially in some Euro countries), it also had a very good song to help promote the movie. What advantages maze runner has in marketing above that? I agree it looks more atractive to males but marketing wise the movie seems to be really hurting and it's awfuly quiet about it so close to release. Not the case for most of the recent bombs in the YA genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
