charlie Jatinder Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) 2100 ($50K) tickets sold for midnight shows of SM:NWH in Muvi chain on 159 shows. The first show is very well sold, 2nd show past midnight around 2AM haven't sold much at all, but as the release come near, they will. If all goes well, Muvi shall have 400 shows for SM:NWH on THU. Overall Saudi Arabia will be 1200 shows range mostly a day. New weekend record is almost certain since its first big film after capacity restrictions are gone but can it test the capacity. We can have perhaps $2M a day, for a potential weekend of $8M, NWH should try $5-6M atleast. Capacity is probably $3M a day now. If it was Endgame level performance, could have expected $9M 4 days weekend Edited December 8, 2021 by charlie Jatinder 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Spider-man: No Way Home Middle East Saudi Arabia - $5.25M UAE - $4.44M GCC - $3.6M Israel - $2.7M Turkey - $1.45M (937K admits. In normal ER times would be $3M range) Egypt - $1.3M Rest - $2.9M Total - $21.6M Will target $50M+ in entire region. $40M ish excluding KSA. Current highest is Avatar $49M thanks to ER. Turkey being biggest at $18M Approx. That's also excluding KSA. The Rest is based on Sony report of ME, probably include Northern Africa or may be more, which I usually don't include. If I were to estimate regions I include, I would say around $2M. Side note: I am thinking to exclude Turkey from here as Sony is listing Turkey in Eastern Europe. Will think other day. Without Turkey highest grosser is Aladdin at $38M. Without KSA (since its growing market) would be Endgame and Aladdin at $34M.

charlie Jatinder Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 I think we had discussion on this last year. Overall GCC can hit $1.75B by end of 2020s, with KSA alone $1B+. Top film could do $50-70M in KSA, probably one of Avatar sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
