Unfortunately Iceland isn't exactly a big market - TFA only make $900k there. Rogue One made $720k during its run (nearly 80% of TFA), which is why it stood out to me as a possibility for an increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Brutal drop in Russia. OD will be at least 40% lower. Maybe even 45%. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The Force Awakens on the biggest Russian movie site Kinopoisk has 7.1 grade. The Matrix Revolutions 7.5 Apparently word of mouth was not very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Force Awakens was such an event that I think even people who didn't watch the other Star Wars movies went to watch that one 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how maxing out works. A movie attracts everyone including atypical audience that doesn't return for the sequel. They simply react to the event (everyone's talking about it so I don't want to be out of loop) but not to the movie itself. With event gone, so is their interest. TLJ is not an event.

FantasticBeasts Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The case with TFA is that the buzz was soo yuge that everyone, even those that haven't watched all of the SW movies, wanted to participate in that "event". Especially, a lot of developing markets were completely unfamiliar with SW in general (since there was basically no cinema in some of those countries when the OT was released) and yet they wanted to follow the same trend that the rest of the world was following. After seeing the movie though, many were desapointed which makes sense since there was no nostalgia factor to be found. That's the reason I have said from the beggining that I expect a big drop overseas and well even Rogue One was proof of what I am saying. I remember quite clearly @James being mocked when he predicted an OS total lower to another film that released closely and yet it ended more than true. It's performance overseas was relatively weak. A few traditional markets saved the day in the end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 It doesn't help the fact that we'll be getting a Star Wars movie every year... 2 years ago we got Force Awakens. Last year we got Rogue One. This year we're getting The Last Jedi. Next year we'll get Solo, then we'll get Episode IX. They're sending the audience to the future with the sequels and then to the past, with the prequels. I think this isn't helping at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in countries where people didn't grew up with SW. I am honestly so curious about how TLJ will perform. I asked on my Instagram who is seeing SW this weekend and quite a few people have seen it already, most of them from the US. And some of them said it was a good movie, but not much is happening and it takes forever to go somewhere. It seems to be a general criticism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does feel like a filler despite two-three major things happening. Characters basically don't grow from where they were in TLJ. I can imagine that audiences from countries where SW wasn't big are having trouble understanding what the big deal is. Not that SW isn't successful in its own right but it's much bigger thing in US (where it's like an institution) while it's just one of many big franchises OS. The real OS event are last 2 F&F movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few traditional markets saved the day in the end. Rogue One wasn't proof for anything. That movie is completely disconnected from all other episodes, as can be seen by the fact that it opened and finished far lower than any other recent SW movie, as well as TLJ having much higher opening days everywhere. A drop was always coming, especially with TFA reaching audiences that Star Wars hadn't reached in the recent past. None of that has anything to do with Rogue One though. That movie didn't say anything about how much of a drop would be coming for other episodes, nor did it cause people to somehow stay away from further movies.

hw64 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 20 minutes ago, George Parr said: That movie didn't say anything about how much of a drop would be coming for other episodes. I disagree. There's plenty to garner from comparing Rogue One's gross to TFA's gross in each market. In the typical strong markets for Star Wars, it dipped only 45-50% from TFA, which in weaker markets where TFA didn't get the best reception, it dropped around 55-65%. That tells you a lot about what's going to happen with Episode 8 and beyond. It doesn't necessarily tell you the size of each movie, but it does give you a rough indication of how the markets within each Star Wars movie are going to behave compared to one another.

BXT Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 It will be interesting to see how a Solo movie without Harrison Ford does. If TLJ falls under $1.5 billion then a sub $1 billion WW total may happen for a new Star Wars movie as early as next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
