Indonesia Box Office 2023 - thanks for updating

[newbie BO buff]

I'm really wondering how big Spidey HC's OW will be when exhibitors go to this extent:

 

 

One location, five theaters, all SHC.

Wow! Will it be bigger than FF8? FF8 has the opening record right? Well Spiderman has always been extremely popular here. Can't wait for the number!

Surprise, surprise. It is "only" $6.9m. Third best this year after F8 ($8.5m) and TF5 ($7.13m).

 

Other notables reported was Wonder Woman, rising to $8.6m (3.28m adm). Don't have the numbers for TF5 second weekend yet, will wait for that before updating the chart.

Fellow Indonesians (especially), while we wait for last weekend's complete BO numbers ...

 

A coveted milestone for local movies is "breaking 1 million admissions".  True enough, with current ticket prices, this level of admission could bring up to IDR 15.75 billion to the studio(s). Enough for a typical "big-budget" Indonesian production to make healthy profit from its theatrical run only.

 

Usually we get 2-3 of these blockbusters per year. Sometimes we get abnormally high number: 6 in 2009.

And of course, in 2016 there was 10 of them. Crazy!

 

How many do you think we will get this year? We have 3 so far: Danur, Jailangkung (2 supernatural horror movies on top! only in Indonesia!) and Surga Yang Tak Dirindukan 2.

 

To me, next candidates would be: Jangkrik Boss 2 (duh), Ayat-ayat Cinta 2, and Pemuja Setan. So, 6 at least.

Who knows maybe Raditya and Ernest will luck out again with their offerings later this year to bring the tally up.

Does anyone know how bollywood hit movie, "Dangal", performed at Indonesian box office (or if it did screened in Indonesia at all)?

I completely thought the total admission for Indonesian movies in 2017 was trailing behind 2016, since last year we had huge movies like Comic 8, AADC2 and My Stupid Boss, and some of the movies this year didn't meet expectation in terms of box office. But then I realized 2017 has a lot of movies in the middle (500k - 1m adm) which 2016 lacked of. Very good for Indonesian film industry. This makes me wonder what happened in 2016 that made the total admission doubled the year before.

 

Also, wow at Jailangkung. It's actually having good legs despite being an awful movie.

 

Interesting question. What happened in 2016? 

 

To begin with, 2015 was not a weak year. It had three 1m-admission blockbusters, quite standard. Total admission number was 16.2m.

Previous years data:

• 2014 = 15.2m
• 2013 = 15.5m
• 2012 = 15.7m
• 2011 = 16.2m
• 2010 = 16.8m
• 2009 = 25m
• 2008 = 30m

(note: these numbers vary slightly between different sources )

 

But yeah, 2015 was pretty OK considering the trend.

So let's recap 2016.

• January: it started pretty bad actually for 2016, only 507k adm, behind 2015 at 51%
• February until June: this is where 2016 started to build the lead. Not a single blockbuster in 2015, but 2016 went nuts with London Love Story, Casino Kings 2, Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? 2, My Stupid Boss and Rudy Habibie. Those 5 movies collective nabbed 11.69 adm (!) and shot 2016 into a massive lead. June 2015 was a scant 4.56m adm, June 2016 a massive 14.79m adm.
• July: this was the Eid frame. 2015 scored 2 blockbusters, but the other 2 Eid movies underperformed.
• August until December: 2015 had only one other blockbuster - Single, but 2016 had 3. And one of them was Jangkrik Boss 1 which grabbed 6.858m admissions, so that's history written right there.

Dangal screened in all major cinema chains, but no numbers reported (to my knowledge).

[newbie BO buff]

Updated admission numbers for Eid movies:

• Jailangkung - 2,173,092
• Sweet 20 - 887,519
• Insya Allah Sah - 729,645
• Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan - 669,673

Collectively they grabbed 4.45m admissions, surpassiong 2016's quartet of Eid movies which grabbed 4.3m. Outstanding performance.

Yes Dangal was screened in Indonesia, I saw it here. But I think in Jakarta it was only in two theaters. I didn't check other cities though. So it's a limited release. But it was screened for months. I remember seeing the list of movies and thinking "Dangal is still playing?". So I'm guessing it did really well in that limited release.

Huh, $6.9m. Still huge though. How big did FF7, Age of Ultron, Civil War and BvS open?

 

About Indonesian movies with 1m admission, I agree with you, this year we will have 6 at least. And maybe 1 or 2 surprises from, like you said, Raditya or Ernest, or others. Perhaps The Doll 2? I mean, horror movies are on a roll this year. The first movie did pretty well.

 

Btw, it's pretty interesting that 2008 and 2009 were huge for local movies, and then the total admission number went down significantly in 2010. But it was actually pretty stable from 2010 to 2015, before it exploded to 2008 level again in 2016. I heard people saying about this 8-year cycle, since 2000, 2008, and 2016 are important years for Indonesian movies (Petualangan Sherina, the movie that started it all, was released in 2000). Maybe it's just a coincidence, but like I said, it's really interesting.

Furious 7 = $6.62m

Ultron = $6.55m

BVS = $7.73m

no data for Civil War.

..... but we can guesstimate from its estimated final gross, $15m. Civil War's OW should be aroung$7.0-7.5m.

Considering that Philippines did $7.7m, Thailand $6.3m and Malaysia $5.1m, that looks just about right.

 

Damn, I have to update that OW chart.

 

As for 2017 local movies, by my quick calculation we will hit at least 29.6m admissions. It's definitely not going back to 2010-2015 level.

I was about to post that. The tickets for Spider-Man are selling really fast. I'm excited about the OW (and to see the movie itself of course).

 

I also hope Sweet 20 are not losing too many screens. Just please take the screens from TF5, and the other local movies instead. It's already at 620k adm and deserves 1m adm. It's gonna be very hard to get 1m, but the WOM is really good, so who knows.

 

Your wish is almost granted.

So close yet so far. It's very likely that it will lose too many screens before it reaches 1m. I'd be pissed if it stops at 990k or something lol. Still an impressive number though.

[newbie BO buff]

Movies that I saw in theaters this year:

1. Monster Trucks
2. Split
3. Lego Batman
4. Great Wall
5. Logan
6. Kong
7. Life
8. Power Rangers
9. Ghost in the Shell
10. Smurfs Lost Village
11. GOTG2
12. POTC5
13. Wonder Woman
14. Mummy
15. TF5
16. Spidey HC
17. Despicable Me 3 (tonight)

Felt really bad for missing out on Alien Covenant, I like it.

Oh and a bunch of them by virtue of babysitting my kids.

 

Planning/hoping to catch:

1. Dunkirk
2. Valerian
3. Annabelle 2
4. It
5. Kingsman 2
6. Ninjago (the kids!)
7. Thor 3
8. Murder Orient Express
9. Justice League
10. Coco
11. Star Wars 8
12. Jumanji

Looks to be my standard 30-movies-per-year.

Scratch that. Sweet 20 is already at 970,639 adm. Looks like it's gonna get to 1m after all.

Sweet 20 and Jailangkung (at 2,303,702 adm) are the only two movies busy bragging their numbers now.

MD Pictures (Insya Allah Sah) has switched their focus to building hype for Ayat-ayat Cinta 2, coming in December.

Falcon Pictures (Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan) has been quiet from the very beginning, perhaps acknowledging defeat.

Valerian is still unknown, unfortunately (it hasn't even been classified by Lembaga Sensor Film yet), but perhaps around late July or early August.

 

 

 

Valerian has been cleared by LSF!
