CrashBandicoot81 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) What a wild year when you see Tom And Jerry Memes beat out Disney. But we got 1 good year of everyone staying at home and thinking "You know, this staying at home and watching a new movie is actually lit" so i don't think we'll be seeing any crazy numbers for a while if ever.

charlie Jatinder Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Raya has good trend everywhere during weekend internationally. It's too low so won't be breaking out big, but legs will be good. Friday was around $2.5M internationally, Sunday will be close to $6.5M. overall weekend around $16M range. Some countries numbers for Friday and Sunday as compared with (T&J weekend) China - $1.38M & $3.2M ($4.4M & $3.1M) Russia - $0.33M & $1.2M ($0.5M & $1.4M) Korea - $0.11M & $0.41M ($0.09M & $0.17M) Japan - $0.06M & $0.25M Vietnam - $0.02M & $0.1M Edited March 7, 2021 by charlie Jatinder 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) $8.6m opening for Raya, ouch. $17.6m international, half of it from China. Only France left to open, in April. Didn’t expect it to fall so far short of Tom & Jerry. Only $2m more than T&J’s second weekend. Edited March 7, 2021 by Krissykins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vafrow Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 What a disappointing weekend. Hopefully this forces Disney to reconsider their stance on distribution, but, I'm doubtful. I want to see Raya, but I'm not going to do the pvod price again, as, I'm sure it will appear in the regular D+ availability soon enough. It'll be an option for a drive in movie once the weather warms a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMisfits Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) "The overall weekend box office is estimated to gross $25.2M this past weekend, +14% from a week ago. That’s likely the combo of more theatrical wide releases and NYC back in business. However, it could have been more if Raya was a pure theatrical release." Raya $8.6M T&J $6.6M https://deadline.com/2021/03/raya-and-the-last-dragon-opening-weekend-box-office-new-york-city-disney-1234708406/#comments That overall DOM market number has got to be a huge disappointment with 3 openers, 1 strong holdover and NYC open...gonna be a long spring recovery...

Well, I mean Disney was crying just as hard b/c they could have easily dropped to 45% when they got the no...so both sides cried over the 6%...and it looks like, for once (and this never usually happens), Disney is crying the most for this particular movie... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current OS markets shall leg to $60-65M ish. There's a Saudi Arabia left which can shell $3-7M depending on competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly in this environment I don't think they expected to make much money and I don't think they really care too much about what they earn in theaters cuz it was going to be a loss regardless. They probably will be more upset then it doesn't drive new membership. Their life could be way worse. They could be HBO Max. Hopefully at some point they put to bed the $30 ridiculous price tag for streaming. I mean I can take my daughter to the movie with my wife and get a snack for that price. That literally just screams don't buy me and wait. Edited March 7, 2021 by cdsacken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel like in this situation Cinemark realized that giving into Disney wasn't really going to help their attendance that much. It was silly of Disney to try to leverage that but both Cinemark and Disney are not pleased I'm sure. I'll be interested to see what's Cinemark's numbers look like for 2021. Not as bad as AMC but probably pretty disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Just to be clear, it's not Cinemark refused to play Raya but Disney didn't give their film on lower terms. I am not sure how much Hollywood studios get, but Indian films get as high as 60% from Cinemark while AMC and Regal are usually 45-50%. And again, the only loss from Cinemark is probably where Cinemark is the only theater or best theater of area. It's not like AMC or other theaters were overflowing with demand. Yeah I guess some folks would have missed it for some membership they have with Cinemark or whatever. Raya opened lower than T&J in almost every market in the world. T&J is just bigger IP. I wasn't really seeing how Raya open bigger than T&J but since most here were thinking so, so I guess... That said, going by 2nd weekend, I think T&J will do around $40-45M DOM. Raya if WOM is there, can still catch it. Internationally it will beat T&J almost certainly if weekend trend is anything to go by. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
