Fullbuster Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Actually first day gross should be very close to Ice Age 3 three years ago. But the screen count almost doubled (2090 vs 1099).Wow, it's terrible :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Double screen count, same OW as IA3, with 3 years inflation in a quickly expanding market as Russia ? Yes.This is not North America, where box office almost stays flat over years. Here we have different definitions about "underperform" "flop" "bomb" ...It used to be a fast growing market, it isn't really anymore. And if prices keep rising so quickly then I expect admissions to start falling quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 I never thought IA4 would bomb in Russia ... shit.Yeah, it underperformed badly, it's really surprising, I don't understand.The Russian market is disappointing this year, I hope it's not the beginning of a trend.

And if prices keep rising so quickly then I expect admissions to start falling quickly.It's still a fast-growing market, +13% this year, but before it was 30-40% a year, so it's lower..But given its size it's still big.Maybe next year will be the beginning of the stagnation, but not now.

Fake Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Still a very solid number... people were overpredicting Mad3 and now they were overpredicting IA4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Not overpredicting. It was supposed to open in the 25M range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Not overpredicting. It was supposed to open in the 25M range.That would be 10% better than current record of PoTC4. And 60% better than Ice Age 3. You see the problem of new people not coming to theaters still exist. And frequent moviegoers obviously cant go to every big release. Madagascar 3 after a rather mild start did quite good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
