Brazil would need to boom again for that to happen, not impossible but that won't be easy. Realistically I expect the ER to come down to 2.8 by year's end and 2.5 in 2018 thank to an improving economy and reforms. 2.5 would be relatively good, the exchange rates wouyld be acceptable with that, some movies could pass $50m/$60m with that for example.

Fullbuster Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 1 hour ago, Fullbuster said: LOGAN REACHED $23.4m IN BRAZIL That means 73m in local currency, it passed X-Men DOFP (63m) and X-Men Apocalypse (67m). It also passed Moana to become the highest-grossing movie of the year. It should pass Deadpool (81m) by Sunday, which is impressive. Will it pass 100m? It's possible but won't be easy to do, it's likely to be around 90m+, far better than expected before its release anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Which is great for BATB is that it will have no real competition until Furious 8 in April, meaning 3 weeks alone without losing losing too many screens, that's undeniably helpful.

I will repost this, it's helpful : Hey everyone, let's have fun today, we're gonna talk about....the importance of exchange rates! I know that not everyone is necessarily armed to understand the importance of it, how it is vital in terms of box office, particularly for a market that is relatively big and fast-growing, such as Brazil. 1. The local currency is called the Brazilian Real (R$), and when its value increases it is a good thing for the global box office that is calculated in US Dollars. Let's say, for example that a movie grosses R$100m, if $1 = R$3 then the movie will get $33.3m in USD. Now let's say the Brazilian currency loses value against the USD -> $1 = R$3.5 (you need more Brazilian Reais to get 1 US Dollar, you need 3.5 instead of 3). With that your movie (R$100m) will only bring $28.6m, instead of $33.3m before, a loss of $4.7m. It's not a small amount! Now, to show you the impact of it, I'll take a real example : Captain America Civil War. it was the second highest-grossing movie of all-time in local currency (R$143.5m). In USD it grossed $40.8m CA CW suffered from a terribly disadvantageous exchange rate -> $1 = R$3.5. Now let's test how much it would gross under several hypothesis : $1 = R$3.5 : $40.8m (what really happened) $1 = R$4.1 (historically bad, it happened in January 2016) : $35m (-$5.8m) $1 = R$3.1 (the current rate) : $46.3m (+5.5m) $1 = R$2.5 (November 2014) : $57.4m (+16.6m) $1 = R$2 (May 2013) : $71.8m (+31m) $1 = R$1.7 (February 2012) : $84.4m (+43.6m) That's right : Captain America 3 would have grossed $84.4m with the same exchange rate than in in February 2012!!! As you can see the exchange rate can have a huge impact on the Brazilian Box Office and the strong loss of value of the Brazilian Real in 2015 and January 2016 have been extremely painful for Hollywood movies in the country. The currency really gained values in 2016, coming back to more acceptable level even if the currency is still massively undervalued. Thanks to many trends the currency is likely to gain even more value this year, helping many movies, and likely to go on in 2018. Many movies will benefit from it and that's a relief. Let's hope it won't stop to improve in the next few weeks, Logan, Beauty and the Beast, Furious 8 and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 could need the help. Justice League is likely to be the biggest winner because the currency could have way more value by November. I hope it was useful and that you liked the lesson, see you later everyone 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingjay Raphael Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm glad that I predicted that BABT would win the year, I don't see any other movie topping it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about that.....Furious 8, Despicable Me 3 and Justice League have a serious shot if we take previous trends into account. If Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad entered the top 10 of all time then Justice League can do it too, same thing for Despicable Me 3 after the huge success of Minions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingjay Raphael Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Oh, I forgot about JL, yeah, this shit may top BATB, but I don't see the other two doing this, F8 is going to drop hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I thought Titanic had grossed over $70,000,000 in USD back in 1998? Was that somehow not enough to qualify for this list or is there a cut-off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Interesting : BATB would be the 5th biggest movie of the year with such an OW, right from the start. Entering the top 3 this upcoming weekend is possible with good legs. Fifty Shades 2 and Moana should be easily passed. Logan will be harder because it has impressive legs but that should happen eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
