DeeCee Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) ?For some reason it opens tomorrow, Monday 2nd July, in Queensland and the Northern Territory. That's about 20-25% of the market. Then it opens on Wednesday 4th July in the rest of the country. The normal 4 day weekend is Thursday to Sunday. It's school holidays this week nationwide however on Wednesday there is a sporting event that may suppress the box office. The deciding 3rd rugby league state of origin match is on Wednesday night. In New South Wales and Queensland, together about 55% of the population, this game will have Superbowl like ratings and interest levels.This was game 2:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIOoef7X9jM Edited July 1, 2012 by DeeCee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTX Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Too bad India does not matter. For a nation of 1.5 BILLION people Indian movie market is really pitiful. Hong Kong will probably outgross it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crys Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Don't have any numbers but been keeping a track on the biggest cinema chain here.It seems do be doing ok, don't expect any records but most of the Imax showings have been 75%+ full with the prime time showings (7-10pm) above 90%.The non Imax showing have done a bit less but it should have a solid OW here.The question is with IA4 opening how it will do the coming days/weeks.School is out in some parts so it should help with the weekdays.

Fakhir Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 In the last 3 years Indian market has almost doubled, Hollywood movies are becoming much more mainstream there and are competing more and more with the local films. I think movies gross less there due to the weak currency and not due to lack of audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 @ Fullbuster I'm merely stating facts abut India. It's a poor, underdeveloped third-world country. The biggest films make around $10M in India, and contrary to what you're saying it's prospects for growth are very poor. India has no middle class.

lab276 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's hardly the lack of audience. There's like 3b tickets sold in India every year, it's just that they're much cheaper than in other countries and the vast majority are sold for local films (somewhere around 90%).

Fakhir Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If this films follows the trajectory of local films in India, it will end up with about 7-8 million footfalls. That's just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
