seduh Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Dropping from No. 2 last round to No. 3 on the weekend was Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games, which collected $25.5 million from some 6,600 locations in 60 markets, down 27%. Overseas action continues to lag substantially behind the torrid domestic pace set by the action/sci-fi vehicle starring Jennifer Lawrence. Foreign gross total stands at $157.1 million versus the film’s domestic take of $302.8 million. GREAT HOLD! it may groos between $250-300 OS, but 2nd film will easily surprass it by a lot (maybe even double it like New Moon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 27%. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The reason Chinese may not allow it, is that they maintain a quota of only 20 or 30 foreign movies every year, and they try to pick the most lucrative ones. There is no guarantee THG will do well with Chinese audiences. This has been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Easter and the good WOM. That is why it had such a good drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertron Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I hope that increase in Germany actually happened! That would be fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 WTF OS? Books aren`t big over there or what? Anyway, I expect that to change by the time CF comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) The books are almost unknown outside of Australia and UK. CF will explode, tho. Edited April 9, 2012 by CJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 By the looks of things, THG should end just shy of AUD30m, with a chance of late legs to get it across the line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Were there any new markets this weekend?SK and a couple of minor markets. So the drop was actually close to 35%.Looks on target for 250M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 What are the remaining markets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Spain is one of them. And I know there are a few more that have yet to receive the movie.But like I said before, this is likely doomed in Spain, since it opens between Battleship and The Avengers.

Incarnadine Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 What are the remaining markets?I think the remaining significant markets are Spain (Apr. 20), Italy (May 1) and Japan (???). There's a few smaller markets left too. I haven't heard anything about China, but it seems unlikely to be released there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeOshea13 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Wow. I saw THG for a second time today (so much better after another viewing btw, and I really liked it to begin with). I was in a very large screen at Vue, and the 2pm showing was completely packed (only a few seats in the front row and a couple of the premier seats were empty). Pretty impressive for a film in it's third week, clearly getting good wom in the UK.(I realise its a bank holiday ofc but still very surprising imo).

John Marston Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Japan is going to be an interesting case. The Battle Royale comparisons will probably come up a lot there and also a very late release could prevent it from making much at all there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 So looks to finish around 600M WW.It's great for a new franchise.THG2 could have much more, maybe beyond the billion mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's great for a new franchise.THG2 could have much more, maybe beyond the billion mark?IMO it will do around 750M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Good hold but not an amazing OS gross. Doing very well in Australia, WOM is good and theaters are still pretty packed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
