For modern theaters in China, the regular range you will pay for a regualr ticket is between 15 yuan ($2.4, cheap Tuesday price in some second tier cities) and 180 yuan ($28.8, IMAX price in mega cities).

London has crazy price.

[Heretic]

It does indeed. Must be one of most expensive cities for cinema tickets.At my cinema, a normal 2D adult ticket is $15.8. For 3D, that goes up to $19, and for IMAX $23.And that's a normal cinema. In the West end, Odeon Leicester Square for example, you can't get tickets for a normal 2D film cheaper than $25.4, with the more expensive seats at $35. That's a shocking price to pay for a film.

[Fullbuster]

In my city I pay $8 for 2D movies and $10 for 3D, no IMAX.I'm lucky I guess

[Fullbuster]

$25 for 2D.edit: I don't know why this cinema is so expensive, others are $11.5 per tickets.

It's insane!

As expected Ralph will gross $15m and Skyfall $25m, not bad :)Cloud Atlas is a surprise : nobody expected $13m, so a $15m finish is possible

No, I just used the recent exchange rate :)Even $26m OW is reachable for The Hobbit :DWith 3D Twilight BD2 could be tie with POTC4

Ok. So, you are expecting an insane opening for TH. How does the Russian market work at Christmas? Does it have the same bad legs than the rest of the year or they are a bit better like happens in other markets?

The Hobbit will be released for the most profitable week in Russia, it will have 3D and Imax.All the elements are in place to have the OW all-time record B)I don't know about legs, but Avatar had great ones

First ten days of the year usually are holidays. So box office grosses are very strong.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Hobbit will be insane then.

[peludo]

First ten days of the year usually are holidays. So box office grosses are very strong.

So, if it will be relased in December 19th, Fullbuster is expecting OW record (or similar), and 12 days later, after big opening, people have holidays and box office is stronger than usually (we already know Russia has usually very poor legs), what multiplier could we see from a OW record? x2? x2.5? x3? With a 25 OW, that would give us a range 50-75 million. I have always thought about 60-65, and these factors make me confirm that range is absolutely reachable.
