@Tower Thank you for that, it's really interesting

 

France in the top 3, European leader in admissions

 

The most incredible is Germany, the country is the most populated but far behind France and UK, what a pity...Maybe because the population is quite aged....

 

Turkey has a lot of potential, doubling its number of admissions should be fairly easy to do and would make it a relatively interesting market, even 150m is reachable.

I'm not optimistic about Turkey. It has the population, but I don't think the direction the country is going is conducive to the box office.

 

BTW do you have sources of admission for countries outside Europe (I already have NA and Japan).

Yeah, it is true that Turkey sucked lately....its box office decreased in 2016 by the way.....

 

As for the numbers I have this :

 

Brazil 2016 : 185m admissions

Population : 207m

per capita : 0.89

You can find this in portuguese on FilmeB, you also have annual articles from the Hollywood Reporter (I have posted 2 of them, 2015+2016 on the first page of the Brazilian BO thread).

The Euro currency reached its highest level since January 2015 against the USD, Star Wars 8 will strongly benefit from it, same thing for TJL and Thor 3 and Jumanji.

[Giesi]

There should be a thread with all the current exchange rates somewhere in this section. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that and to keep the work going.

Not surprising considering the character just isnt well-known compared to Iron Man or Batman. Im with @Aristis on this one, WW2 is a good candidate for an Increase (well, if the Exchange rates arent abysmal again in 2019 )

I do not see so clear that the European Union rate will increase in the sequel. Maybe you mean that the OS ratio will increase, what should be the logical step. It is true that WW is not a well-known character outside US, so the sequel should increase the OS weight.

 

But let's remember that the explosion of MCU came after Avengers. The 5 precedent films grosses were not specially amazing. The first sequel of the Universe was Iron Man 2 and it still grossed more domestically than overseas. We still do not know if Justice League will imply a explosion of the DCU like Avengers did.

WW2 increasing in the EU seems likely but I wouldn't expect a huge increase, it's quite a slow-growing market.

Yes. For that reason I do not see the EU ratio increasing relative to first part. It can increase in gross in EU, but less than in Latin America or Asia, so the ratio will probably drop.

[Fullbuster]

The Euro got much stronger in 2017 (+14%) against the USD and it's still the case in 2018, so this year the ER won't be an issue
