Fullbuster Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Only a few theaters reported at the moment but so far Chinese Zodiac is doing much better on Saturday. Nothing exceptional but good enough for 6.6-6.7 multiplyer. So around 4mln weekend still looking good. Yeah $4m would be excellent for a Chinese movie Apparently Russians like Jackie Chan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinayingmixxx Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Welcome dear new member thank you for the welcome, hope we can witness the tremendous rise in Russia's movie market. And refer to this weekend's box office, I still cannot believe a Chinese movie could reach the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Not exactly. Friday increase was very mild. With current numbers it looks like 575k Thursday, 680k Friday, 1.61m Saturday and around 1.4m Sunday. 4.25m for the weekend. Close to 130mln Rub.

juni78ukr Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Statham films usually start well but affer that they drop very hard. 2-2.1 multiplyer, probably no more. As for Chinese Zodiac it's hard to tell. Jackie Chan is a legend here so it could be frontloaded too. But Saturday increase looks nice.

dinayingmixxx Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Les Miserables next week, important movie. But it's not the same audience.I've watched this moive last week,it's a very high quality moive, I suppose it could achive a surprised figure in Russia.

Yep, given Mamma Mia grossed 9m in 2008 I guess Les Miserables can gross around 15m-20m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yep, given Mamma Mia grossed 9m in 2008 I guess Les Miserables can gross around 15m-20m. Swedish ABBA was very popular in The Soviet Union. That was the key factor. Besides it has a nice setting and appealed both to young and old people. The Miserables? Not so much. It's a boring classic book no one cares much about. As I know local stars were not involved in dubbing and the songs will be subtitled. Most of the film actually will be subtitled and our general audience doesnt like that much. And the screen count will be just average. 400-500 screens I guess. 6-8m total would be good. 10m excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was released by a local independent distrubutor so it's not in Sunday international reports. Around 3.5 mln I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
