Top Gun Maverick Highest grosser ever in Saudi Arabia with $18.2M.

 

Full run $20M+ surely, may be $25M.

 

Avatar 2 expecting $30-40M.

 

 

really happy with TG, even if its mostly just due to the continuing expansion of theaters

Will the avatar re-release do blockbuster numbers there?

One Piece: Film Red - $1.44M

 

Spoiler

One Piece Film Red rocketed to the top of the box office chart in Saudi Arabia over the weekend, achieving the biggest-ever opening for a Japanese anime in the territory and dislodging Black Adam from the top slot.

 

Middle East and North Africa distributor Front Row Filmed Entertainment, which holds all rights to the film in the region, said its opening weekend in Saudi Arabia, including previews, drew 61,000 admissions for a box office of $1.04m.

 

The weekend runs across Friday and Saturday in the territory so the figures are calculated from Wednesday previews through to end-Saturday.

 

Japanese anime has a strong following in Saudi Arabia and One Piece Film Red is the third feature in the genre to top the box office in the territory over the past 18 months.

 

This is an exceptional result, nonetheless. The opening admissions figure is 14% higher than that achieved by previous record holder Jujutsu Kaisen 0 at the beginning of 2022 and 50% more than Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train, which broke out in May 2021.

 

Front Row said the film had also achieved one of the biggest-ever opening days for a PG-12 movie in Saudia Arabia and the second biggest-ever opening day for an animated film behind Universal’s Minions: The Rise of Gru.

 

The distributor also noted, for context, that the opening day figures for One Piece Film Red were higher than Universal’s Jurassic World by 22% (also rated PG-12), 286% bigger than Sonic: The Hedgehog 2 and just 8% lower than Black Adam.

 

The film also opened strongly across the Middle East with over $400k grossed to date in the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt.

Why such high expectation for A2 here? Unlike other countries, Saudi Arabian never experienced JC mania. And A1 re-release (Not sure if I can even call it a re-release for SA)  number isn't impressive too in SA.

It’s has nothing to do with SA experience about JC or JC movie release here.

you can search the article that Titanic even became a Phenomenal movie in Afghanistan,his movie have such magic that cross the entire world,no restirct of countryline ,culture ,gender and age.So his first two movie also become Phenomenal in Saudi Arabia,it’s just not release here.
