In USD? Probably a couple in Latin America, with abysmal ER.

Less than Solo is almost impossible (He's talking about the 5 recent SW movies, right? EP7, 8 and 9,  and Rogue One and Solo).

No, it can happen, sadly for political and exchange rate reasons 😑

Less than Solo? You mean less than $179,157,295 OS? Are you crazy?

I think they mean just in certain Latin America markets that have a terrible ER right now, not the total international gross.

Yes, join me on the making more than TLJ OS dark side, good GOOD.

 

A lot of people disagree but I still think the finale factor and good will of JJ from TFA could bump this.

I expect OS to be 10-15% higher than domestic. I agree that the finale factor and the fact that JJ will make a less cerebral, more crowd friendly film will help a lot to draw in repeat and casual viewers.

How will Rise of Skywalker deal with China? Given that it's opening alongside Ip Man, and that The Last Jedi bombed there, whilst being removed from over 92% of theatres after two-weeks.

Chile? Elsewhere I don't see how this could happen, Solo was too small across Latin America.

In Argentina, ER has collapsed 200% since Solo. If TROS is not well received, the potentially higher local gross may not compensate.

Venezuela is always a gamble.

Off-topic, but this is really bad news for Minions 2 next year which had huge Latin America performance.

but inflation takes care of that in Argentina. Infinity War had 3mn plus admits while Endgame was 3.9mn. Gross in $ was same.

Endgame OD ER was 40. TROS' may be over 60. Who knows, too many variables, but there's a chance.

Copied me from me from the NZ thread:

 

So you guys may have noticed that no films have had the big theatres for their shows for the last couple of movies, well I just found out why. They have added VMAX (a baby version of IMAX) with recliner seats and daybeds and it seems like they are launching it with The Rise of Skywalker. So that’s 2 additional midnight screenings and a total of 10 additional opening day. 

 

Ticket prices are $23 for regular seat, 27.50 for recliner and $30 for single daybed and $60 for double, this should help the average ticket price here in Albany and has added a bunch of seats of the opening day and weekend.

VMAX sessions added a bunch of seats so percentage cake down but I expect them to fill up quite quickly once word gets out that they exist. I fully expect this to outsell TLK before its release now although I highly doubt the film will be as walk up friendly throughout the weekend. 

 

All else I can say is this is going to be a monster here in Albany.

TLK 

 

Compared 3 days before 926/5338 (17.34%) = $6.46m

Hi everyone, Star Wars IX opens next weekend in all the markets around the world except Vietnam and Philippines (very poor markets for a Star Wars movies), how much this new Star Wars movie would make for global and domestic opening weekend ? Could it the global opening week end of Star Wars VIII ($450M) and the domestic opening weekend of the previous Star Wars ($220M) ? Will Star Wars 9 make more than Star Wars 8 global opening weekend and around $500M or will it make less than $400M. I let you make your predictions ...

 

[homura836]

I saw somewhere on the internet that a SW fans pessimistically predict TROS could only bring about $700M worldwide.

 

I couldn't believe it.

Much More likely a $700m Dom alone than $700m WW...

What marcos says is true. However $700m DOM isn't likely eiter. I would say $700m WW = 0.1% chance (in other words it's not going to happen) and maybe 25% for $700m DOM?

 

A WW total around The last Jedi is were I see it heading.

That sounds like a likely target. I could see it ranging from 1.2 to 1.4b right now.

 

For some reason I can't really find a way for this to make 700m domestically though. TLJ made about 100m after the holidays. Lets say this has slightly better legs than that and it makes 120m instead. This means it would need to make about 580m in its first 17 days, some of which are already outside the holidays. That seems like a very tough mark to reach.
