Bitcher Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Does that interest an American moviegoer?There are very few examples of a blockbuster opening on a big scale OS before DOM. I only remember IM2.Tintin! And it's not a positive example at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Tintin! And it's not a positive example at all.Yes, but TinTin was always a movie for audiences abroad. If TinTin would have made really astonishing numbers OS, would that haved helped its gross DOM? Edited April 21, 2012 by Rudolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Peter Berg’s military vs aliens actioner from Universal Pictures made the milestone in its first 10 days of international release. Through this Sunday Battleship‘s first 12-day total should reach $126.7M. The pressure is on for the film to do well in the 50 territories where it’s now open — including China and Russia — because of its advance bad buzz and very expensive budget. (The studio claims the cost was $209M while outside sources say $250M.)Battleship doesn’t open in the U.S./Canada until May 18th because the studio set a strategy to open overseas first. This weekend it debuted in another 24 territories and should gross $56M for the weekend. It was #1 opener in 16 territories this week bringing the film’s total Number One openings overseas to 37 in the last two weeks: – It opened #1 in Russia Thursday with $2.1 million and dominated the box office there with 78% of market share. Friday’s gross is $2.2M with a 2-day total estimate of $4.3M (LC 126.4M) — better than both Thor and Iron Man but also helped by a big theater-building push there. – In Ukraine, Battleship also opened to #1 and was Universal’s biggest opener in history in that territory. – In China, Battleship gave Universal its largest opening in history on Wednesday where the film grossed $3M on opening day and has gone on to make $8.2M (LC50M) in three days — more than Fast Five (LC43M). – Battleship held the #1 spot during Week 2 in Germany, Austria, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. It had very strong holds in Australia and Japan. Universal has 14 more territories to open including Israel on May 3, South Africa on May 4, and Latin America starting on May 10. http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/battleship-past-100m-foreign-box-office/ so I guess it didn't drop off the face of the earth like people were wanting it to uh?

iceroll Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It's doing well but I was hoping for more. If they ever make a sequel in 3D, I think it would have a shot at 500m OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 There is a lot of potential in a sequel to this. It won't drop like Clash because what killed the sequel to that movie was the 3D of that movie. Nothing else, nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) http://www.deadline....ign-box-office/ so I guess it didn't drop off the face of the earth like people were wanting it to uh? HA! It is actually a bad drop. China and Russia opening would add up to 26-27m and another 22 territories it opened in would account for at least 5m+. So that leaves around 25m from holdovers at best, which would mean over 55% drop. With Avengers rolling out next weekend, it will have around 60% drop. 300M will be an uphill battle from here.
