SentryTrans Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It's very impressive, I'm happy about this, apparently it's a good movie.Asia loves it, as expected.Asian audiences like to watch sci-fi movies, action movies and so on, no matter how bad they are.

Heretic Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Could open to as much as $8m in the UK. Better than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgold Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I've been watching the box office this year and most movies have been doing better than expected. I think this trend will last through the summer. I must say I'm surprised Battleship opened so huge overseas but the overseas market has always responded to these big action movies. They saved Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, etc. I'm also wondering if Rihanna being a part of the cast was a huge help? I've noticed that Katy Perry being in the Smurfs and just Justin Bieber's Never Say Never caused the box office to do much better than expected.

Fullbuster Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It will surprise in the US as well. Me too.Too many people underestimate the potential of the movie in the US.But we must say The Avengers will best it easily in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Oh no doubt Avengers might double Battleship but even then, 175-200m would be excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Universal was smart. After the terrible teaser trailer which made it look like a Stealth type movie and had people going "whats next Monopoly?", they got the message (unlike Disney with John Carter) and did a complete rethink of the marketing campaign. Stressing the Transformers connection in the trailer and going for a big Independence Day/2012 vibe in the trailers that pretty much sidelines the whole Battleship angle but makes the film look more spectacular and entertaining. The John Carter marketing team could learn a lot from the Battleship one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldenfirefly Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Keep tracking! I think Battleship OS numbers are going to be awesome! Asia can't get enough of this type of big scale special effects summer movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
