JCS Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) The Lorax does not seem to be very popular OS, made a ton of $$$ in the USA though to profit. Edited July 26, 2012 by JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Dr Seuss has never been that popular overseas, given that the film's in the black from the domestic release, anything it makes overseas is just gravy. Kind of dumb of Universal to have released it sandwiched between Ice Age and Brave in many markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of dumb of Universal to have released it sandwiched between Ice Age and Brave in many markets.True, but other Dr Seuss films did a bit better OS.It seems that Universal put no effort or thought into their OS release dates for The Lorax. In the UK, Easter was free but they shove it in between IA4 and Brave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) A bomb territory beyond BRAVE that is ... It really did badly in China. $1.1M OW there = bomb! Up to: $110.3M OS. Might end up with around $125M OS. Perhaps less. Edited July 30, 2012 by JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Official OW number from China:Lorax, 5.7M yuan, $0,90M, with 123177 admissions via 17761 shows.(PTA 7 , ATP 46) That's just beyond horrible. It wasted the 70 IMAX theaters, totally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 and why did Lorax get the IMAX screens and not Ice Age 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
