Fullbuster Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Pirates of The Caribbean 4 - 1716 Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows 2 1562 Yolki 2 1467 Transformers 3 1385Shadow Boxing 3 1350 Kung Fu Panda 1337 Puss in Boots 1299 Rio 1297 Breaking Dawn 1268 Conan 1220 Cars 1200 Sherlock Holmes 2 1195 Many mediocre films could easily get 800-1000 screens here. The Darkest Hour had 1151. Conan Barbarian 1220. Street Dance 2 bombed in UK but alco could get around 1000 screens here. Pirates of the Caribbean is impressive, I wonder why The Avengers or Battleship can't have the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 I´ll take it!!!!!!John Carter did $16 million and Wrath $14 million..So $20 million pour TA isn't inflated I think, because this movie is way more ambitious, and very good reviews!

Fullbuster Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Comic bookThe Avengers has so much action,FX, and will have a bigger marketing budget than any other movie of this kind, I'm optimistic, not worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 So can it reach 50m in Russia then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 So can it reach 50m in Russia then?It's possible, but I don't think he will.I expect $40 million, and it's pretty optimistic.However Bilbo,Ice Age 4 and Spiderman will probably pass this mark, maybe the $100 million mark for Bilbo.

Fullbuster Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 And this is a Reuters video about Hollywood in Russia :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_tnCUhW0KARussia is now a very important market for Hollywood, the most important with China, they bet big on it, and it's just the beginning.

cgold Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm thinking China is very important mainly because of public relations. Movies do huge numbers there but in the end the studio gets only about 15% the most from the figures quoted. How much do they get from the Russian market?

juni78ukr Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) History and fantasy epics are just way to popular in Russia. King Arthur, Prince of Persia, Narnia, The Last Samurai, Clash of The Titans, Alexander, Troy, and now John Carter. And many others.John Carter had the help of major national holiday on March, 8 so its opening was inflated.That's why it hardly managed to get 2 multiplyer. There is no way Avengers will beat it step aside make $20m on opening. Avengers might be a cool movie for fanboys but the general audience mostly doesn't care about comic books. Captain America last year grossed $8.7 mln on 1000+ screens. Iron Man 2 was well liked sequel but still nothing particularly excited. Thor went to above mentioned category of fantasy epics and grossed $16.5 mln. And you are also severely overestimating Spider-Man. It's a reboot but who needs it? Spider-Man movies were moderate hits but none of them was particurarly liked here. The trailers got rather mild reaction. It's a wild card but predicting 40-50m? You need to cool off a bit.

You need to cool off a bit.I know I'm too excited :DAbout The Avengers I don't think you can compare it to Captain America, the budget and marketing will be clearly superior, same thing about reviews.And Iron Man 2 is too old, the market is well bigger now.
