lab276 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) I am not sure how you got the $3.8M. My calculation shows $2.4M for MAD2 reflecting AUD exchange rate. Using the same analysis, the $15M (in 2008) for MAD2 convert to $24M in 2012. This means if our friends from Down Under spend the same AUD for MAD2 and MAD3, we can expect $24M. And this number excludes higher ticket prices and 3-D. Bottom line: Australia alone should contribute a quarter of the $100M target. Germany and UK should pick up the rest.

Rudolf Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Mad 2 increased its screens from 274 to 368 in Australia.Will Mad 3 also increase the 265 for the holidays? Edited September 17, 2012 by Rudolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 That was from previews to regular showings, so I'm not entirely sure. That said, NSW, the largest state, is starting holidays next week, so it's reasonable to expect an expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Boy Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 http://www.boxoffice...08&wk=50&p=.htmBoxofficemojo.com indicates that MAD2 debuted a week earlier at 12/11 - 12/14 at $1.5M (with $1 = 52 AUD)Final MAD2 is $15M (with $1 = 1.53 AUD)Current Exchange is $1 = 0.95 AUDThis means the $15M is multiplied by (1.53/.95) = $24M (to convert to 2012 US$)This is the magic of exchange rate conversion. $15M (2008) = $24M (2012) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where are you getting 265 from? Mad3 opened on 525 screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Germany has not started yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
