TServo2049 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 In India Avatar has probably been beaten by 10 movies which includes movies in 3 different languages, most of them 2D and non-IMAX.Great example - India is the most local-dominated non-U.S. market in the world. (Second place is probably Turkey - where Avatar wasn't even the highest-grossing release of 2009!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Interesting topic guys. On the one hand I agree that roaring currents beating avatar in gross without 3D or Imax inflated tickets was extremely impressive. No other film got remotely close before especially in Korean won. But on the other hand, you can't ignore the fact that year 2014 will have north of 50 million more admissions than the year 2010 which means that given the right recipe for success, Holidays, great word of mouth, 4-quadrant film etc etc, a film as large as roaring currents wasn't really inconceivable any more. I'd go as far to say that If the quality of roaring currents was a little better than it could have probably gone even higher than it did. So yeah I think a non 3d/imax film passing avatar's gross really means little if it happened in a country with a rapidly growing film market or a country where local productions predominated. If however it occurred in a well established market where avatar was huge such as UK or the US, I'd be properly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Begin again. wow. it's crossed 1 million adm and generally doing really well for an arthouse film, much more impressive than the already impressive run of Grand Budapest hotel earlier this year. Current gross stands at $7.875 million and SK is the stand-out territory for it thus far with UK not far behind. Echoes of August rush. Topsy turvy run continues for HTTYD2. Having hit bottom with a mere 6 admissions on Wednesday and Zero admissions on thursday, it rebounded with 304 admissions on friday. Current admissions is at 2,997,165. 3 million admissions still on?

tupek Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Doesn't matter if it crosses 3 million adms. Dragon 2 had a disappointing run in SK even if it's still in the top animated chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Doesn't matter if it crosses 3 million adms. Dragon 2 had a disappointing run in SK even if it's still in the top animated chart. It wasn't a trailblazing run sure but you could say the same for most other markets it was released in. HTTYD2 was released a bit late in Korea so if the international response was great, it would have had a way better OW than it did. Also considering it was up against Kundo (huge in it's first 2 weeks), roaring currents (just huge), the pirates (very good legs) and other new releases hitting it every week, it wasn't such a bad run either. It surpassed the original too which is another positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Is that some kind of holiday like mid autumn festival ??? BTW Dragon had 10 admission only today. Hope that chusoek holidays helps Yeah, a lot of families get together during this period and movie business usually booms during this period. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a movie screening that looks capable of taking advantage of this at the moment... HTTYD2 was a mistake I think it's finished it's screening. I checked when it had 304 admissions the other day and it was from 3 screenings total. Sometimes groups of people (like from schools) rent the entire theatre to themselves to watch movies they like and It looks like that's what happened to HTTYD2 the other day. Same thing happened with Frozen after it's main theatrical run had ended, it had periods where it had a couple hundred admissions and close to 100% saturation from a single screen.

Rsyu Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 This market is really expanding It was 2 million admissions ahead of 2013 at the end of August but the line-up for the rest of the year looks comparatively weaker. Either way the total for 2014 won't change all that much from 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
