I think people would be more outraged if Bong wasn’t involved in the miniseries, but he is and HBO have a good track record so I’m personally looking forward to it. Hopefully it kind of feels like an anthology companion to the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Still reeling in the win for Bong. So deserving. Though I’m still awaiting the day my man Song Kang Ho aka the current best actor in the world to get more recognitions too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy there's no outrage and yes Bong stamp of approval helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 With oscar win, the film will be widely re-released in my country. It is nationwide release with multiple showtime all day long, and guess what?? The film has been in theater for 4 months plus but the occupy rate is as high as new release like BoP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) The official worldwide numbers on comScore are $175.4mn. I suppose that's till Sunday. If so, it has crossed $180mn easily. Though let's see if that is updated next Sunday. Edit: Yes that's official update. Expecting $182mn by Thursday globally. Best case scenario, USA $6.5-7mn weekend, Japan could bring $3mn FSS, UK and Europe most likely $3.5mn and Rest of World bringing $3-4mn. $200mn by Sunday is possibility.

Jiffy Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Wonder if this would have ever received a release in China even without the coronavirus situation? 'Tis a shame that sth like Green Book got to nab $70m there while this didn't get a proper release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at some data, that suggest a possibility of $100-190mn in China, most around $170mn ish. Ratio of China Breakouts to Taiwan. Dangal: $188mn against $5.5mn: 34x Secret Superstar: $116mn against $0.9mn: 128x (outlier) Coco: $184mn against $4.8mn: 38x Zootopia: $237mn against $8.7mn: 27x Green Book: $72mn against $1.9mn: 37x Bigger films, which have established fanbases.

Anywhere between 3 and 4 million 3 day, and 3.5-4.8 4 day is maximum, and it's still great. I would say 185-190 million $ ww by monday would be realistic.

Re USA; Green Book PTA jumped 65% post expansion. Parasite will have Valentines Day so expecting 80% is fine. Assuming $0.48mn Thursday on 1000 locs, that's $480 PTA. +80% gives $860 and its expanding on 2200 locs i.e. $1.9mn. Working on that 1.9 2.1 1.7 1 That gives 6.7 Edited February 13, 2020 by cJS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I need to preface this by saying I thought this movie was very very good. It certainly wasn't my choice to win best picture. Hell, it wasn't even in my top 3. But I really think the importance of this movie's success, both box office wise and with critics and awards, is that hopefully it opens the floodgates for foreign-language films in North America. Or even foreign-language filmmakers making movies in English (i.e. Bong and Snowpiercer). It has helped break down some of those barriers that foreign-language filmmakers can still face in finding Hollywood success. And there are some AMAZING storytellers out there that I'm sure hardly any of us have ever even heard of. And to me, having more good storytellers making more good movies is a win for just about anybody. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Vilotijevic Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Increasing number of theaters doesn't guarantee the same average it had while it was playing on 1060. I would love to see those numbers, but until then I'm staying with my 3-4 million $ 3 day weekend. I want this film to have even more success, but I always think about the factor that it's out on DVD/BluRey as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more of an exceptional pulp piece of genre bending entertainment with a good head on its shoulders... Not unlike something like Get Out when it broke out. Handmaiden was awesome but it wouldn't and couldn't ever break out like Parasite. Same applies to Burning. Same applies to 3 Iron. Same applies to domestic arthouse stuff. This one had a wide appeal because it's so entertaining to any audience that can get beyond subtitles. If course, many other foreign language films have that going for them too... To stick with Korean cinema, films like I Saw The Devil, Train To Busan, Oldboy, Wailing are somewhat easy sells to an audience. Others not so much.

Subject matter as a whole is extremely perverted from the heroes to the villains. Full disclosure, it's my favorite South Korean film of the last decade abd gas a lot things a wide audience would love. Probably one of the better pulp pervert pieces of filmmaking in recent memory.
