Fullbuster Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 His cumulative total for calendar year is around $1600m vs $1160m last year. Here's a link with his prediction for all main releases till the end of year.http://kinobizon.ru/...film-packaging/ But it is really hard to read without good knowing of Russian language. Our Russian names for Hollywood movies very often make no sense. Maybe they should keep the English names..In France they do it and there is no problem.

Fullbuster Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 only $1m for Intouchables Some competition the same day, 2nd week of Battleship, 1 week before The Avengers, mass piracy, not many screens..It can't be very high, very bad combination for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it has nothing to do with original title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Do you have some examples? Russian title for 21 Jump Street you can translate back as "A Macho and A Nerd"And Intouchables called "1+1" here. They coulnd't translate it directly here because the other recent French movie already took that title in Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They coulnd't translate it directly here because the other recent French movie already took that title in Russia.I think "1+1" is a good choice. In German it is "Ziehmlich beste Freunde" that translates to "Rather best friends". What does "Intouchables" mean? Who is intouchable? maybe their friendship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 1+1 is the Korean title too.So maybe our distributors just borrowed the title from them. Funny thing that we have a TV channel called 1+1. Actually from French films this year only Asterix and Obelix should make good money. Probably with good marketing Marsupilami also has a chance.

Fullbuster Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 More than $40m for The Avengers, I'm sure he could pass $50m, this movie will be a phenomenon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Battleship estimated gross is 330.3 mln RUB. That would be Universal best opening slightly ahead of Fast Five. See the top25 chart in RUB. We also had the other kind of record. Local comedy Voin.com grossed $8475 on 105 screens Thursday to Sunday. That's $81 per screen for the entire weekend.

OMG, Russian movies are real flops, it's crazy I guess it's not a good thing to be released at the same time than Battleship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinoBison has estimated Battleship with 650m RUB. As such movies do about 50% in the opening he seems to be right on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Nutcracker 3D grossed 13 mln in Russia and only 200k in US. There is no point to compare limited releases and wide and besides it was a film with russian director and made for russian money.
