fmpro Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yep!Well.. It did´ent drop from OD..Thats positive right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Right now it is number 6 in top 250 by grades on our most popular movie site. People love it but piracy is killing everything. And our distributor apparently has no idea what to do with this film. Russian people like action fantasy, animation, comedies...Still there is a hope.it is a comedy; as Twinsen9 pointed out in the Intouchables thread soon the No1 comedy OS in any language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 it is a comedy; as Twinsen9 pointed out in the Intouchables thread soon the No1 comedy OS in any languageIntouchables is coming, it could be a success, but it has problems : a real competition (Battleship,Titanic, American Reunion..other movies the same day), not many screens, it arrives 1 week before The Avengers (so, weak legs),bad advertising (horrible poster, sincerely) and piracy.Intouchables won't be a flop, but it won't be a success too (it can't perform well all around the world, after all).And I think Intouchables will be passed by The Hangover 3 OS next year.

juni78ukr Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 1st May is always a National Holiday. This year it fell on Tuesday. So Saturday is a working day instead of Monday to get people three straight holidays in a row. Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday would be kind of inconvenient. It's a usual practice here. After that again Saturday, May 5th, is also a working day. And 4 days are holidays from May, 6 (Sunday) till May, 9 (Wednesday).May, 9, is a Victory Day. Still the most celebrated holiday here. So don't expect fresh box office reports on next two weeks. But box office grosses should be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Thor is #73 with 455.049 mln RUB or $16,422 mlnIron Man 2 is #80 with 431,854 mln RUB or $14,699 mlnSpider-Man 3 is #101 with 358,952 mln RUB or $14,370 mlnThat's why I'm rather sceptical about The Avengers. Spider-Man was the most popular comic book character and still managed only about 2.8 mln admissions.
