This thing is not opening in China. lol.

You should put which movie you are talking about in your post.

[kayumanggi]

Which markets left to open other than China? It's performance is pretty reminiscent of Up. Great domestic performance, but not that great OS.

 

IMDb isn't accurate all the time but it says:

 

Thailand

Lithuania'

Indonesia

Philippines

Georgia

Cambodia

Malaysia

Norway

Vietnam

Denmark

Singapore

Finland

Sweden

Greece

Italy

Jordan

Austria

Germany

China

Looks like Minions gets the last laugh globally.

 

That has been the expectation for a long time. Losing domestic is the surprising one.

The Gift straight up won the weekend. 12 not only shows an insane amount of growth over what tracking had it at, its IM indicates that it won't play like a summer horror movie or a Blumhouse pic. I wonder if 50 mil is on the table.

Great for MI5 too. Hope UNCLE doesn't do much damage.

 

It's doing slightly less than Southpaw, so I doubt it can reach 50. 40 is definitely on the table.

FF?

[grey ghost]

I think it will get at least 150 million from China, Japan and SK.

 

All Ant-Man needs is 100 m from those markets to cross 450 m WW which is higher than Thor.

OS audiences aren't that interested movies with leads that are old men (UP) or white girls (IO), I guess.

The Man from UNCLE

American Ultra

MR: Scorch Trials

The Martian

Spectre

The Good Dinosaur

Mockingjay Part 2

In The Heart of the Sea

The Hateful Eight

SW: Force Awakens

Pretty much the only films that interest me for the rest of the year. August was great last year but it was due to GOTG's amazing run. Hopefully UNCLE and Compton can bring life to August.

If you're talking about F4 then you are right. I didn't make the cut.

[grey ghost]

Fox launches their X-men/FF cinematic universe this weekend.

Such a shame, it could've made another 70 bucks there.

They didn't get the memo that nobody gives a shit about the FF anymore.

I guess they don't like heads exploding there. It wouldn't made much there either. Maybe 30M or so. 

[FilmBuff]

Boogienights, don't compare that Fantastic four garbage to the real MCU. Fucking idiotic.

[grim22]

No OS update for F4?

[Heat Vision]

Waiting for F4 OS numbers now.

[CJohn]

Fantastic Four seems to have opening with around the same as Ant-Man here, in number of tickets sold. Totally below it in money thanks to IMAX and 3D.

FOX is too embarrassed to give out the FF OS numbers.

[grey ghost]

Plus everybody knows that there's zero demand for an X-men/FF crossover.

In fact, forget the post above, box office is about to die thanks to one of the biggest soccer games of the year later tonight so everything will be empty. Ant-Man didn't faced that on his first Sunday.
