And that's a incredible hold considering its 1st Jan. I think it's more about the total. The original made $170.6 M there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Roark Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Let’s not forget that the general assumptions were at a $58M a week ago if not lower. Landing a $65/66M top 4 3rd weekend ever with a chance to best BP is outstanding folks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLurking Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 1 minute ago, kayumanggi said: Do you consider its run there successful? It's still "fine" for a hollywood film in general considering it will probably land somewhere in the 4b range, but considering the drop from the first, there's no way one could realistically spin it into a positive, or even a modest result. It probably doesn't even make a third of the original's gross in yen. Considering the film has started to take a positive turn even in other underperforming markets like UK, Japan doing this sort of performance for it is just pathetic for the film in the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildphantom Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 France about to smash $100 million. Amazing. I think the original did as much as $175 million there? Obviously if ER were what they used to be then we’d be way over $100 million. UK started off slower than expected but is making gains now. $100 million still on the table. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are many reasons for its performance in Japan. But one of them is there aging population where there population has been declining and will in years go by decline even further.

There are many reasons (which we've gone over plenty of times by now) but declining population is a lazy one. We're not deep enough into the problem for it to make a difference, year overall did well and 19 years admits record was crushed just 2 years ago.

Still, the final number will probably be around $19.5M or something around those lines. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall expectations was 66-68M, it should still get close or match 66M. The only difference is that SAT drop was slightly bigger than expected (NYD celebrations + the games + long running time as the reasons) and SUN jump should be higher as well to compensate. But the weekend itself it'll still match the expectations imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
