Fullbuster Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 It is not a science where you can calcullate anything for many years in future. But it is always better to use knowledge, logic and common sense than throw some numbers just out of thin air. And trust me, I'm really good in using that. Been a box office writer for last 6 years on the biggest russian movie site give some advantage here.I know Its good to have you here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 First very rough estimate is 63 mln RUB. Slightly more than Battleship in local currency. But below in $ thanks to free falling russian rouble. Somewhere around $1.94mln by yesterday official exchange rate. By tomorrow rates it will be only $1.87mln. Could gross between 330-350 mln RUB for the weekend I guess. Around $10m.And Men in Black 3 dropped by 60%. Could have been worse actually I believe.$10m is ok for R-rated movie :)MIB3 will pass $30m next week I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 $10m is ok for R-rated movie :)MIB3 will pass $30m next week I guessThe thing is we don't have in Russia or Ukraine such rating sistems. I really doubt someone will stop 13 or 14 years old from going to Prometheus. And many parents don't care about this. Extreme sex scenes and extreme gore that's what they are afraid. Prometheus doesnt qualify here. Anyway so far its going to gross well above expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 OW under Battleship isn't cool.Russia is one of the biggest country for Battleship, it ended at $22m, so it's not really bad, it's well ahead of Titanic 3D and Hunger Games (twice more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hunger Games was not in 3D, and Prometheus is not a re-release. It should have done better than 10M given the hype and marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have done better than 10M given the hype and marketing.The hype outside fanboys and web crowd is almost non-existent. Battleship was plain and simple. At least nearly everyone played that game as a kid. This one is different. And most likely it will beat Battleship in RUB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
