It's fine for FB but I'm still disappointed ?

 

 

 

I wanted at least $80m. With $75m OW it could barely pass $200m..this movie deserves so much more

 

Deserves got nothing to do with it. It's all about appealing to the most people.

[FantasticBeasts]

I don't know what am I missing but excluding North American this seems to be doing FANTASTIC everywhere elsee..I honestly didn't expect those overseas numbers.. think this will end up with PoA numbers

I know it will never happen because release dates are at a premium but I would love a studio to say: well we'll see how this first movie does and go from there

 

The pendulum has to swing back to that attitude SOME day.

Even OS markets already stopped giving a fuck. It might not do 200M OS.

Moonlight has hit a wall in terms of expansion but that was inevitable. It's still gonna get a second life in January.

 

It's performing better so far than Room, with a better expansion even pre award nomination.  Hopefully that will translate to an even better even though it won't benefit from a Best Actor win

If Fantastic Beasts was a more adult (25+) female audience then where did all of the 18-25 year olds go? Dr. Strange? Edge of Seventeen did poorly. 

Age groups if audience of DS is rather similar to FB (MCU in general skews way older than a lot of people think), I think it was 65% or so over 25y and the other older groups, but DS had 58% male,... They expected $20m for DS, I think they were already considering that a bit too, but DS 'only' got ~$17.5m or so, so it seems it lost at least some more % than expected to FB.

 

 

 

Anyone has an ~ idea for the upcoming holidays plus % ? I mean out of the head, very roughly.

 

[picores]

75m its perfectly fine for FB in my book. Not a big single OS market underperforming so far by the way.

For a second my brain died and I thought you were talking about FB and I was ready to drag you

 

Speaking of FB, that Flixter score is stable at 86% (has been for the past 2 days), which is better than all Potter movies, save for DH2.  

[YSLDC]

Just checked and.. Didn't know HP was THAT big in Japan. Yeah, this is doing +700m or even +800m. 

[EmpireCity]

I think it is going to get to $800m total.  There is nothing to compete with it until Rogue One comes out.  

[Maxmoser3]

$200 million domestic total for Beasts. Edge Of Seventeen flopping .

280m according to BOM

 

As have several Harry Potter films before it, Beasts scored an "A" CinemaScore from opening day audiences. That being said, while this is the lowest opening for any film in J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World series of films, Beasts's opening is on par with the likes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ($77.1m) and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($77.8m), which went on to gross $292 million and $301 million respectively. Should Fantastic Beasts follow suit a domestic run anywhere from $284-290 million would be in the offing, though a safe expectation right now would seem to be around $275-280 million.

Nothing to compete with it? Doesn't Moana come out next weekend?

Completely delusional. Those films opened on Wednesday and their 5-day openings were 140M and 158M respectively. 

 

Brad Bevet has never been particularly good but this is a real oversight... thinking this movie is gonna leg it to 280M from 75M opening is nuts. 175M much more likely than 275M.

According to all of the numbers and feedback it doesn't look like Moana really takes a core group of its audience.

I dont know what numbers you have but it seems to me that Fantastic Beasts appeals to families, as does Moana.
