Unless Japan breaks out, this will fall short of DH2 OS.

Even it breaks out it wont beat Dh2 OS. It will need more than 35m. That is more than Avengers in yen.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Japanese box office are underwhelmingly low for some blockbusters..

Even for the biggest ones like IM3, TF4 & FF7.

But hey..one things for sure, AOU has now beaten HP:DH2 to become the 5th biggest grosser WW!!

Let's celebrate.

Should it be 8 instead of 7p2?

Should it be 8 instead of 7p2?

 

It's debatable.

[kswiston]

1.4B WW may not happen.

 

How? 

 

Even taking your $15M more from holdovers, Domestic will be good for around $17M more. That leaves $20M left. It would have to outright bomb in Japan to miss $1.4B.

More than likely won't make $20M in Japan.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Japanese audience is pretty strict about what blockbusters they want to see.

And if they don't like it...then $20M would either look like okay numbers or bomb-numbers.

Also....Japan is not a country that we could guarantee huge numbers anymore...especially since they prefer more their local films rather than Hollywood-films. It was probably great back then for Hollywood-flicks in the middle 2000's. But nowadays...we don't get massive numbers from Japan that often anymore.

Did AOU increase in admissions over Avengers 1? Are there any countries it did not?

It definitely dropped big in Australia.

[Quigley]

"Next up is Furious 7 and its $1.51B worldwide gross." Geez, Keith Simanton has been a disappointment from day 0.

[Quigley]

Franchises that have achieved to have 2 films in the top 5 worlwide at at least one point in time:

 

Star Wars^

Lord of the Rings

Harry Potter (maybe, not sure - can anyone confirm this?)

Pirates of the Caribbean

MCU/Avengers

James Cameron (technically not a franchise but I think it still counts)

 

^includes grosses from re-releases

(Finally) slowing down

[POTUS 2020]

14.6m OS Week. I am thinking 925m from holdovers.

 

 

How? 

 

Even taking your $15M more from holdovers, Domestic will be good for around $17M more. That leaves $20M left. It would have to outright bomb in Japan to miss $1.4B. 

China was $3m of the $7.5m weekend and $8m of the $15.6m week. Its closing Thursday and will add less than 1m.

OS-CJ with a $4m weekend, and with the way its dropping, will add $8m at best. plus 750k from china at most. call it 9m.

Dom at 2.5x last weekend is 15.5m

Japan would have to sell slightly more tickets for TA2 then TA1 to clear $27.5m to hit $1.4B. 26m is now breakeven for TA2 vs TA1 in Japan in admissions, currency dropped even more. 20m would be down 22% not much worse than some countries like domestic. Bombing would be less than $15m

You are ignoring the fact that movies gross get late boost(some markets dont report weekly). So it will squeeze by 1.4B. Not willing to concede defeat for sure.
