hw64 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 1 hour ago, FantasticBeasts said: That's a big problem for Star Wars though. Isn't it? In another 40 years from now, DOM may not consist of more than 30% of the final gross of the average movie. Yes, that's why studios are trying so desperately to establish in places like China right now. Star Wars is very much representative of the box office market of old, where domestic was by far the more important market and most movies make around 50% of their total gross domestically. As the domestic market slowly but surely loses prominence and becomes less important on the worldwide stage, it'll be the Avatars and the MCUs that thrive in the box office market of tomorrow. The failure of Star Wars in such important growing markets like China and the rest of Asia has far more consequences for the franchise's box office power in decades to come than it does today, where it can still remain competitive worldwide based on domestic success that makes up for mediocre overseas performances. That won't be the case forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJsooner Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Sheesh, Jumanji is going to top WW and Get out for bo story of 2017. Sony announcing Jumanji 3. In 3...2...1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Loves Rey Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Again, the only thing I want Jumanji to do is to cross $305M. That way, it beats Skyfall, and becomes Sony's biggest non-Spidey film. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't be the case forever. This is so wrong. You can't just pick and choose what markets are more important. Does it really matter all that much if a movie makes 1.5 billion dollars and half of it is domestic? I think you are trying to use this narrative against a film that defies your logic. Sorry but all markets are important and yea China is an emerging market but the fact is studios still get significantly less of a return from China than they do in North America. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly 500-600 OS is good but nothing impressive/ unheard of. And that comes in contradiction to thr DOM numbers thats why it is discussed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 That Jumanji number is fucking absurd. It seems to be keeping pace with NATM adjusted so far, although I doubt January holds will be as strong. 270M+ should still happen, and I wouldn't yet rule out 300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but all markets are important and yea China is an emerging market but the fact is studios still get significantly less of a return from China than they do in North America. The idea is that the overall worldwide potential for new films will continue to grow as the international markets grow and NA maintains or even potentially shrinks. Star Wars can continue to do well in NA, but if it fails to gain a foothold internationally and thus, in the future, is making significantly less overall on the worldwide stage compared to other franchises then that domestic success may not be worth it by itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
