Punishment Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 $660,028,752 is the goal; "do, or do not, there is no try". I really have no clue if it will hit that number or not, but I am enjoying watching the box office run :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Seeing Jedi again tonight with an older Star Wars fan who doesn't pay any attention to WOM and reviews. Very curious to see how he reacts and how the film plays for me the second time around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find boxoffices that do well in China to be inferior to non-China driven ones. They won a huge market that they can rely on. HP made its 600Ms OS thanks to Japan and UK too, 2 markets where it was shoo-in to post huge numbers. Are those boxoffice runs lesser? Is Coco's run lesser cause China + Mexico? Nope. At least I don't see it that way. I don't think China success is a cheat. It's a success like any other, just that some movies really broke big in that huge market while others didn't.

But it's not the same having a big os number peaking in one or two markets and having medium-low runs on the rest than having os numbers spread "equally good" along all intl. markets.

I think people make that distinction because studios take back only 25% of CBO receips (even less now with the whole ticket fees) while they receive 40%+ in Japan/UK. It's very likely for example that Disney profitted more from Frozen's gross in Japan than Universal from Furious7 in China. That's not even counting Home video sales (Frozen sold 2.4m+ units in Japan generatiiing over $100m while HV is a non-factor in China). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 530 million Jan 2nd. Still puts it around 660-670 finish I think. 80 million 4-day would put it no less than 540 million by Jan 2nd. Should be at 460-465 going into Friday if we include yesterday and today’s gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would if you were a studio, not that it necessarily need to matter. And not sure how true you are with yourself, if Warcraft would have been domestic heavy instead of China heavy ], broke a list of video games adaptation domestic market records I think you would have find is bo superior. Same for the last Resident evil, if it would have been 50/50 dom/intl.... Edited December 28, 2017 by Barnack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
