China is the key for 600M WW

 

I would actually be more surprised if this didn't hit $600m WW.

I think it's all but assured at this point. The assumption has been roughly $200M domestic, $100M China, and $300M everywhere else. It's marching past the domestic figure and will beat the "everywhere else" total, if not now then at least when Japan opens. Thus The Martian just needs to avoid under-performance in China. Indeed, I hope around Dec 1 we're talking about a Chinese over-performance and even greater possible plateaus such as Interstellar's $675M. If the stars align, it could happen.

[movieboner]

$20-30 million more in domestic. $50-60 million more in current foreign markets. $100 million+ in China. $10 million in Japan.

[Moviedweeb]

This may really explode in China. The Chinese sub-plot, 3D, masterful visuals and storytelling bode very well for this.

Other key cumes after several weeks of play are the UK at $35.3M, Korea at $333.6M and Germany at $16M. China releases November 25 and Japan goes later in February.

China will do 100 mill plus and so, 600 mill is well within range.

$650-700 million final worldwide gross.

[Moviedweeb]

This film is ending up way closer to Gravity than many would have suspected. The legs have been truly great. 

[PanaMovie]

The Martian is on top of the world thanks to a strong 5-day $50.1 million debut from 4,848 screens in China. The Chinese release is 139% ahead of Gravity's 6-day opening gross and 158% ahead of Interstellar's 5-day debut. IMAX screenings in China contributed $6.6 million from 249 dates for a $27k per-screen average. The weekend's total overseas haul amounts to $51.3 million. The Martian is now Ridley Scott's best performing film of all time at the overseas box office with $326.5 million to date. The film has grossed $545.1 million worldwide. Japan is the film's final remaining market, where it will release this upcoming February.

A blockbuster for FOX. The only true highlight of their year aside from Kingsman 

[SwedishFailturez]

That's great to see that one of my favorite movies of 2015 (Also one of the best of 2015 in general) is doing so well WW. The massive opening in China was indeed expected for all the reasons above, especially how well the Chinese were pretreated in this flick. With remaining holds from China and Japan on the horizon I can expect around 630M~680M WW finish.

[movieboner]

The Martian's worldwide gross updated to $554,799,780. China's gross hasn't been updated yet.

Why excluding? It seems to include China, and there is no apparent reason to think otherwise.

[movieboner]

They only updated the domestic and foreign totals, but not China's gross. On numbers.com, they have updated the worldwide gross with China.

This could outgross Mockingjay Part 2 worldwide 

[Tau Ceti]

Boo hoo, China numbers coming in quite poorly. I'm thinking now that we'll have to wait for Japan to get past $600M and that $610-$620M may be the cap for this. Still a fantastic run.

[movieboner]

$620 million is still a major success considering that The Martian had a total budget of $155 million. Interstellar grossed $665, but had a total budget of $215 million, so The Martian was more profitable. TM's huge gross in domestic markets means it'll have a higher return of profit.

Where are you getting your "total budget" numbers?
