redfirebird2008 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 So about 28% drop. That's very solid. If it can stay around $14m for Thursday, the $100m second weekend is on track (using Deadpool jumps). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how box office works. What do you mean by "Marvel films made more money but they weren't bigger". That literally means nothing. I'm aware that the numbers don't include inflation, but for example DH1 made 660M, Avengers made 900M two years later. Does the rest of the world have a 40% inflation rate in two years? Hmm. Why does it matter that it wasn't in China? Like literally how is that relevant. In some markets Harry Potter is bigger than MCU and Star Wars, in some it is not. But overall speaking, internationally, overseas, both Avengers and Star Wars make more money. Simple as that. Sorry. Might also mention that Fantastic Beasts had China and it doesn't change anything. Sorry but I won't continue an argument with someone that has such a low level of knowledge on overseas box office. What you are saying is almost equal to "The first Star Wars was the least successful one". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Important to note that Beauty and the Beast dropped 35.5% last year, which makes 28% look brilliant! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1 made 660m 2010 US dollars, Avengers is also talking in converted at the time US dollar, that why we can use US inflation here, it is not about which were bigger success, more popular, it is really just looking at which made more money making that conversion, just using the same variable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm not, I'm saying that based on your argument that all the Harry Potter films sold more tickets than the Avengers movies, is wrong because 660M in 2010 is not worth more than 900M in 2012. It just isn't. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the movie can't have any bad numbers at this point. The opening 4 days guaranteed that it will end up with an insane total in the end. But if this movie had Beauty and the Beast daily percentages after Sunday, this is what would have happened: Monday - $16.82m (-72%) Tuesday - $22.22m (+32.1%) Wednesday - $14.33m (-35.5%) Thursday - 13.54m (-5.5%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise it was shot in 3D right? It was made with 3D in mine, the film would be completely different without it, scenes would be different. I couldn't imagine what Jim would have done without 3D in mind, that's what makes him James Cameron and me just IronJimbo. The 3D was actually put in the film as part of the experience, not like hollywood which uses a 8 week post process 3D to snatch every last penny they can (see Marvel movies).

That's why Jim Cameron made a T2 3D release right? And a Titanic 3D release? Because post 3D effects are a cheap cash grab, whereas these movies were made with 3D in mind in the first place! After all, James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
