Just imagine if Johnny English makes something like 100M in China. 

Universal would park a truck outside Rowan Atkinson's house to persuade him to make another one. 

 

Smallfoot is on course to outgross Storks both domestically and OS, $200m WW looks likely which after Ninjago and Storks is a boost in confidence for WAG. ASIB is just doing great business all round,

I saw this pointed out on another forum and was wondering if anybody here knew the answer -- what was the last movie (before ASIB) to be #2 four weekends in a row?

Good call. More recent than Big.

[Jonwo]

I can't believe Sister Act was never number 1,

[a2k]

Venom did 17.3 weekend os. 321.1 os cume and 508.4 ww.

21.6 more dom (2x the weekend) and 34.6 more current os (2x) gives 56.2 more for ~565 ww.

Japan should add 15 more and China 85 more for 665 ww. 700 is defn alive.

Sister Act was the last movie to be #2 for 4 weekends in a row without hitting the top spot (similar to ASIB)

 

Rush Hour 2 was the last movie to be #2 for 4 weekends in a row after debuting at #1. Patch Adams did the same a few years before RH2

Smallfoot had a great 17+ os weekend.

Quote

Warner Bros’ Smallfoot is another film closing in on $100M internationally with a $17.3M weekend in 78 markets. The drop was a slight 8% in holdover hubs for a total to date of $95M. There are school holidays in many offshore plays and the top opener this session was Russia with $3.6M (including sneaks) on 2,509 screens for No. 1. The yeti movie came in above nearly all comps, besting Mr Peabody And Shermanby 2%, The Emoji Movie by 16%, Captain Underpants by 38%, The Lorax by 54% and Storks by 57%.

 

In holds, China dipped just 12% from the opening weekend and has cumed $7.8M. France’s sophomore session was worth $2.8M on 545 to rank No. 2 behind the debut of Le Grand Bain (a sort of Full Monty à la française which is hitting a chord locally, taking $7.8M). The French cume on Smallfoot is $5.5M.

The UK saw an increase of 5% and has taken in $10M to date. Germany likewise bumped up, by 4%, to cume $2.5M.

I think it could do 140 os and along with 85 dom gets to a strong 225 ww (2.8x the 80 prod budget).

 

If the breakdown is

85 dom + 125 os-china + 15 china = 225,

it gets theatrical revenue of 

85*0.55+125*0.35+15*0.25 = ~94

Not even a star-studded cast could save “London Fields” from pushing daisies at the box office.

 

The long-delayed mystery drama — starring Amber Heard, Billy Bob Thornton, Jim Sturgess, Johnny Depp, and Cara Delevingne — brought in a dismal $116,470 when it opened in 613 North American theaters. That means each venue sold just $190 worth of tickets. In other words, it was the second worst debut in recent history for a wide release (classified as any movie playing on over 600 screens) behind just “Proud American,” which launched with $96,076 in 2008, according to Box Office Mojo.

They were so much suing case going on with people wanting to bury the movie, that I doubt Netflix was interested into buying it and get that controversy.
