Rudolf Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Japan is the wildcard. THG could completely bomb there, or gross anything up to 30M. Japan is also a very leggy market, and THG seems to have good WOM everywhere - possibilities are endless.Battle Royale made $25m in Japan. Why should they prefer a similar movie made in USA?

RTX Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Because it's not a gorefest, therefore it has much bigger potential audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 UPDATE: Foreign: $228,500,000 38.0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) In its sixth weekend in release, The Hunger Games earned an estimated $7.4 million overseas. That brings its foreign total to $228.5 million, and its worldwide (domestic plus foreign) total past the $600 million mark.

Fake Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Close to 50% drop in the face of The Avengers. Held well.With Italy, it should cross 250M.Now... is it releasing in Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) It was pretty stupid, releasing it in Spain one week before the Avengers. Edited April 29, 2012 by RTX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Is 275 M possible? That's huge for such not-so-well-known material overseas. Bigger than the first TWILIGHT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The film has truly outstanding legs. CF will have a massive opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I see at least 400 M for CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 400-450 is my predict as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 800 M - 900 M worldwide is possible for CF. Yes I expect the domestic take to increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This is not Twilight, people. 400M is too little for it.I'm thinking 500-600M depending on the quality of the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This is not Twilight, people. 400M is too little for it.I'm thinking 500-600M depending on the quality of the film.seems way too much. Not much reason for it to increase that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 THG didn't do well in most markets in Asia.... the sequel will continue to not do well.....And admissions are going down in Europe, just like in NA. So there will be a limit to how much it can explode there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 400m is likely, but 500m+ would be a stretch.CF will do over $50m for sure in the UK, and Australia should also put up $40m+. $100m could come from the two markets alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think you guys are underestimating the WOM THG has created for CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I can see 500m OS for CF. By the time it gets released, millions of books will be sold around the world. Add the fact that THG was fantastic and Catching Fire will be just as great. The only thing that might hurt it is the increased competition from Skyfall and Thor.
