Valonqar Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 can it get to 300M? Dom holds are good enough to take it there me thinks. Only 13M away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 13M away. The way it keeps holding it might do $13m more just domestically. But it did a a $3.9m week O/S and has Japan next week so it should pass $300m with ease.

ThePrinceIsOnFire Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 So much talk for this being a hit, when it likely won't even reach Murder on the orient express (2017) WW. Yes, it performed very well in USA, but it was quite disappointing OS, given the premise. It's an original movie, but it was heavily targeted in some markets as being an Agatha-Christie story: Italy, for example, had "Agatha Christie" both in the trailer and in the poster, I wonder what went "wrong" internationally.... maybe the modern setting threw fan of the genre off, or maybe the cast was not "big" enough (yes, it had Craig, Evans and Curtis but MOTOE had Depp, Pfeiffer, Dench, Cruz, Dafoe and Branagh himeself...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murder on the orient express was distributed by 20th century fox, which had more international network and stronger marketing tool to advertise the film. Whereas KO was distributed by different local distributor that didn't advertise the film as aggressive as your "standard" international distributor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KO is a bone fide hit. It would have been a hit if it made $0 OS thanks to 40M budget. Also, as you said, it's an original while MOTOE had a built in audience. In the end, it'll make about 50M less than MOTOE give or take which is excellent for the new property. Its true test will be the sequel starring Craig as detective Blanc.

expensiveho Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Maybe just anecdotal, but I couldn't see this on theaters because it played for like 1 or 2 weeks without any significant promotion (which says a lot because I was looking forward to see it and didn't even know when it opened). Same thing happened with Hustlers (I did get to see on its last screening which I found out like 2 hours before it and luckily had the time) which is even more ironic since JLo is so big in Latin America. So distribution does play a big factor when it isn't one of the Big 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Corpse's weekend estimate, it looks like a bomb in Japan. Likely sub-$5 million unless it sprouts amazing legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
