Fake Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 For a country of 1.3 billion, Hollywood movie grosses in India really suck. Big movies make about 1/10th as much in India as China and they have roughly the same population.That's because there are 12 movie industries in India.But India will keep growing as a Hollywood market even when growth in markets like China and Russia will have slowed down.

Rudolf Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 And GDP per capita is really higher in China, compared to India.People need to be patient for India I've heard that about 60m people in India live a life comparable to European standards. I don't know how many in China, but surely it is higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Superhero blockbuster The Avengershas smashed several Singapore box office records after earning a whopping S$2.23 million on its May Day debut. The record was previously held by Columbia Pictures' Spiderman 3, which took in S$1.02 million on its opening day in 2007. It also set records for being the first movie to cross the S$2 million mark on opening day and the fastest movie in local cinema history to cross the same S$2 million barrier.

So smashes records in Hong Kong and Singapore, is that good for its Chira run? I know it won't smash records there on opening, but the long term?

FilmBuff Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have a friend who lives in Japan. He's frickin pissed this movie doesn't come out till August there. It makes no sense to me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 It was stupid to do that. Considering TASM and TDKR are getting Japan release very near to the US release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 There has to be a reason they chose to release the film in Japan in August.I'd love to know that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentryTrans Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yes, very good sign for China.Avengers is an unknown SH team in China.Though it has broken records in some Southeast markets, it can't make $35m in 2-day opening week in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is seeing 11M for TA in HK so TA has a shot at 100M not a big one but it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
