Hernan Gonzalez Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I have a bad feeling about TASM2 there, seriously..Not just in Russia... Sadly, it's global :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well, we have to wait till morning. First theater reports for Saturday are encouraging. Good increase so far. Of course not enough theaters reported for making projections. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 86% Saturday increase with 431 theaters reported. Currently it looks like 330 mln RUB or 9.3 mln OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 So on par with ASM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 So on par with ASM. More in RUB, a bit less or on par in USD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I remember when we were discussing the international prospects of ASM2, the markets where it was surmised it would increase the most was Asia (China Japan and so on, maybe even places like Indonesia and Malaysia too) and Russia. Now the political issues in Russia right now might suppress the box office this year. But you can't deny that the box office of ASM2 is not where we all thought it would be internationally. Many of us thought it would drop domestically and that remains to be seen. But international numbers do not look good so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 More in RUB, a bit less or on par in USD. So it improved over TASM, in $ it has been dampened by the exchange rate : From April 27 2013 to April 27 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just political issues, the economy was quite bad before the crisis in Ukraine, it just accelerated it. But yeah, the OS box office for TASM2 is quite disappointing...The numbers are not bad at all but we expected more, that's for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Sure, the numbers aren't bad, it's just not increasing the everyone, including myself, thought it would. At this rate, even with a 100M gross in China, it might not pass the 490 mill of the first one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least here reactions are very, very poor even from GA - one mom wrote how she took her sons (9 & 11) to ASM2 and they all hate that movie and think it's freaking boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's decreased or opened on par in almost every market so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ent Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Even if it stay above $700 M and stays flat, it's not good. The fact that the production cost and the advertisment expenditures went through the roof, compared to the previous one, is a testament of them expecting a significant increase. Amy Pascal has been saying they expect $1 billion ! For the life of me, why are those top executives so vocal about setting a high target ? Didn't they learned from Robinov high expectation with MOS ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they learned from Robinov high expectation with MOS ? Actually I am surprised that TASM did what it did. To me it's more like $400M - $500M WW grosser. Very soulless superhero movie, only slightly better than FF4 & GHOST RIDER1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Most likely Nut Job will finish 2nd again. Still a very modest gross for 1864 screens reported. For some reason May holidays are now almost free of major releases. One local movie based on a TV-show might gross 10m+. But the others are pretty weak for a holiday slot. 1 May The Railway Man 500 screens - most likely will bomb with very low per screen average Spies and Gistrup (Denmark) 50 screens - not a chance The Other Woman - 1100 screens - will do reasonable business here Olly and the Pirate Treasure - 600 screens - a sure bomb Under My Skin 300 screens - the distributor doesn't report grosses so to hell with it. 8 May The House of Magic - 1300 screens - will gross some money but not a lot. Will have low per screen average Brick Mansions - 1000 screens - will do moderate business here Les Gamins (France) - 400 screens - dead on arrival, the distributor doesn't report grosses so to hell with it The Quiet Ones - 600 screens - below average gross for a horror movie 15 May Godzilla 1500 screens - huge money here La Venus a la fourrure - 200 screens - will bomb here Eyjafjallajökull (France) - 250 screens - a little too late and no one really cares about Long Way Down - 70 screens - a real miss Space Pirate Captain Harlock - 600 screens - a little too late Pelle Politibil på sporet (Norway) 150 screens - not a chance, disastrous per screen average Edited April 27, 2014 by juni78ukr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I still have no idea why Transcendence was pushed back from May 1 to July 10. It wouldn't have been huge, but it might have done better than everything else getting released over the next two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
