I'm not surprised for Tarzan, it's not easy to come after Disney's animated Tarzan, and with a lot of competition. Can Frozen gross a bit more before disappearing?

Fullbuster Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 By the way, how many admissions in 2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Trees and Ronins are fighting for the crown. Hobbit is on third. Mitty is well behind. Tarzan is the main loser. I'm not surprised. I predicted 47 Ronin would be big in Russia. It doesn't seem to be completely true, but it'll probably be one of the few countries where it actually opens "decent".

Cosmonaut Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 By the way, how many admissions in 2013? ~180m, 11% growth. Can Frozen gross a bit more before disappearing? A bit? $28m pretty much locked, it managed to survive til the holidays, disney(WDSSPR) did it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great numbers, with 180m admissions Russia could pass France next year or in 2015. That's great fo Frozen, and deserved! I expected $25m so I'm happy about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 LOL. I'll be surprised if it manages $2-3m. Well, it can't do worse than The Nutcracker, can it? http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=nutcracker3d.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Violence Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) It might just be a token "contractual obligation" release. A sorta-famous example was Big Shot's Funeral, a Chinese film that Sony opened in the U.S. with no marketing and which grossed $820. I doubt Sony was bothered, since it was a hit in China and they presumably made their investment back from there. Sony Pictures Classics is a very conservative outfit and I can't see them pulling out any stops for Stalingrad. It should at least get better treatment than Big Shot's Funeral, though.

Fullbuster Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Stalingrad will be "IMAX only" so it won't have a lot of screens but could be pretty profitable per capita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Violence Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The problem with an IMAX-only release is that it has one week before 300: Rise of an Empire comes along and takes most or all of its showings. And if Robocop is still doing well, I doubt Sony is going to push IMAX screens to reduce or eliminate Robocop showings (also a Sony release) to make room for Stalingrad, unless there's a contractual obligation along the lines of "the movie must have at least x showings per screen on its opening weekend."

Fancyarcher Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Are you surprised? No offense, but Russia eats up the CGI filled movies all the time. Legs will be awful though. Edited January 2, 2014 by Fancyarcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
