Do you have any idea what is the average ticket price.

 

Because $200K when a ticket cost just 3$ dollar would mean that more people watch the #1 in SA than people watch the #1 film in Germany this weekend (62,794 adm -> €692,625 or ~$850k)

maybe 6 to 7 I am not from South Africa but am posting it in wake of Black Panther success in SA and the coming of IW.

That would be really high, almost like in some parts of Europe.

Okay, yeah $8M is a nice total over 1M admission.

 

(Of course not as high as UK, Germany or Scandinavia. but ticket prices here are also incredible high)

Or actually is maybe lower I am basing it on looking at theater ticket prices from the main chains which have different ticket prices so It maybe 3 or 4 or more who knowns.

That seems low, but compared to the BIP it would be 0.029499% so basically exactly the same as for Germany 0.0299245%, for the USA it is 0.057%

[manny1234]

@Rthanos How is the opening day In South Africa looking for IW, and will set records?

[manny1234]

From Deadline:

The movie posted the highest opening weekend in industry history in Korea, India (non-local), the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Brazil, Central America, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, South Africa, Turkey (non-local), the UAE and West Africa.

 

No East Africa mentioned meaning maybe it was the number two opening weekend record behind Black Panther.

As someone who lives in SA, thank you for starting this thread. I'll try to post some current ticket prices later when my wifi signal is better. Also, tried to go watch IW today and failed. Five screens all sold out for the rest of the day :-(

[Wadey Wilsoney]

Okay, did some calculations. We basically have two major chains, Ster-Kinekor and Nu Metro. Nu Metro is a bit more expensive but not by much. Overall, when using the current dollar-rand exchange rate the average 2D ticket is about 6.35 dollars while the average 3D ticket is about 8 dollars. IMAX is about 10.6 dollars

Local papers reporting that IW absolutely trounced Black Panther's opening weekend record at 24.6M rand. I can't begin to tell you how utterly obscene that number is. My math is a bit sketchy but that is like a 35% increase!

avg 2017 lc60, 2016 $lc54.5. So in $us around $4-5 mark. Also note that SA boxoffice is combination of several countries (SA itself accounts for nearly all of it though)
