Saudi Arabia. The market current highest grosser is just $9.5mn, but by 2025, they will be touching $60-80mn. Endgame did just $3mn.

UAE grew 17% in last 4 years, I don't see Saudi hitting $100mn till 2040. The next biggest is I guess Indonesia, but too far from $100mn, however, with better growth, it also should reach there by 2040s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie BO buff Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Indonesian cinema reopening postponed due to a massive wave of backlash. Intensive negotiations underway but I don't see a compromise being made anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie BO buff Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Indonesia is listed as one of the countries where TENET will open first: 26 August. However, the government has issued no statement allowing cinemas to reopen, so WB really knows a lot. 😎 There is an ongoing discussion about having the reopening sometime in August, but nothing formal has come out of it. Not yet. Hopefully soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie BO buff Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Indonesia set to reopen soon. Notable import movies will be: Tenet The New Mutants Unhinged Disney+ Hotstar will be available from 5 September, so looks like no Mulan in theaters. There will be some re-release of successful local films cut short by the outbreak, such as Mariposa and Aku Tahu Kapan Kamu Mati ("I Know When You Will Die" - how eerie). By October it is expected that a semblance of normal scheduling for local movies will return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie BO buff Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 The provisional date has now been set: 10 September. After the opening movies, import schedule will follow "regular" programming with The King's Man, Wonder Woman 1984, Death on the Nile etc. Local tentpoles will be released starting October.

newbie BO buff Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 As the capital city reentered partial lockdown on Monday and cases spiraled out of control, hope fades for reopening anytime soon. Indonesian cinemas may not reopen until January 2021. The damage and industry setback will be unthinkable. Goodbye, cruel world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This second delay (first one was 29 July) was even harder as come locations already had DCP's of Tenet and The New Mutants ingested, ready to go. A lot of local movies intended for theatrical release have now gone to Netflix or the brand new Disney+ Hotstar Indonesia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie BO buff Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Indonesia actually have one cinema open since 7 July: Hollywood Cinema in the city of Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi/Celebes. They have been playing very old movies, and new locally produced one. No admission data, but also no incidents reported. On 26 September 2020, Cinema 21, the largest cinema chain in Indonesia, opened one of their outlets as a trial. Jatiland XXI is located in Ternate, capital of Northern Maluku province. Limited seating and the usual protocols applied. First day result was very promising, as nearly 30% of tickets were sold. There is unconfirmed information that partial reopening will commence in the next two months (looks like aiming for James Bond). We'll see about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie BO buff Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Indonesian cinemas started to open gradually from October 9th. Exhibitors started with smaller towns and cities, and with practically no prior announcement, to minimize backlash. As of today, November 18th, 119 out of 417 locations are open. Not all screens are open in each location. Capacity is capped at 25-50% depending on local regulation. The dearth of new titles continue to haunt these still-empty halls. Let's see if December can bring some change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 December will bring no relief from Hollywood unfortunately. Will have to rely on locals or other APAC releases for another 4+ months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Charlie, none of the distributors are willing to divulge their numbers, but I can tell you they're all pretty modest. Even Peninsula didn't work.
