Heretic Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 It's definitely not going to have a worldwide opening above 300m, that't just unrealistic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it lacks only Japan and China, anything under 250m WW for the OW should be considered a failure. It better go over 300m. Your numbers are too high, you expect really much..Be ready to be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be a bit too 'expecting' instead of hoping for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a 62% retention rate from DH2. 250m would be a 52% retention rate. This is still a Potter-verse movie. It might have slightly better legs, but it will still be frontloaded. It need to open good. With a 200m OW WW, even 700m is not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK, for example, this is going to open to less than half of DH2, in pounds. In dollars, it'll make about a third because the dollar has dropped so much since 2011. In most of Europe, I expect the same. 300m requires huge openings across the board, and with very weak ER's especially, it just won't happen. No way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the last 3 Potter openings had a pretty stable 1/2 DOM/OS ratio when it comes to WW OWs. Assuming it does 100m in the US, that would mean 300m WW OW. But taking into account ER problems, lets say 250m. The forecasted 200m would mean a 1/1 ratio. The highest ratio ever for DOM in the franchises history is around 32-33%. Potter always was a foreign champion. FB making the same money from OS as from the US would be plain disaster. 250m at least must happen.

Heretic Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 250m maybe, but 300m is just setting the bar too high given the circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I am expecting 400-500M OS. Edit: Lol nvm, I just checked the OS results of the last few Potters. Dismiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) @James Adjusting for both exchange rates and ticket price inflation, the foreign OW of DH2 excluding Japan would be $235M. Ratio of Domestic/OS OW would then be 42%/58% 44%/56%. A domestic opening right now of $100M would then be in line with a $240M $230M WW opening. I agree that the Harry Potter franchise is a "foreign champion", but I think you're underestimating the impact of the increased strength of the USD. Edit: Adjusted foreign OW for inflation but forgot to adjust domestic OW in original post (adjusts to $183M).

No you are quite right. We have no reason to expect much more than that, especially with a strong dollar on so many levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 This will easily beat DH2 in China. 80M is very likely, DH2 made 61M back in 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has some competition like Moana opening the same weekend, few other Hollywood releases the following weeks in China. Do you think it can fare that well or even to 100 in face of such competition?

I doubt Moana will be big, but 100M is very difficult for FB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
