yjs Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The South Korean market doesn't seem that huge if EOT can be down like 80% when a new movie opens. Bit strange for me, since I have this idea that SK is very developed. Here in my country, outside of the capital and a couple big cities, everything else and everyone who lives there don't contribute to BO at all I think. the market itself is undeniably huge, the 7th biggest worldwide last year, but it is true that it heavily depends on huge hits rather than being an all-round kind of healthy market with bunch of smaller-sized or "old" movies which have been out for more than 3-4 weeks coexisting (although it's slowly changing these days with this current trend of indie boom or whatever.) So EoT has been out for like 6 weeks and it had back-to-back punches from TF4 and the Apes. 80% drop not so surprising. Another thing is that the Korean film production companies, distribution companies, and cinema chains have strong ties and are sometimes actually affiliated companies (in the US that's legally banned from what I know) so when a new movie they want to push is released it's possible that it really just dominates the screens up to more than 70-80%. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsyu Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Is $35M+ possible for the Apes? Possible but it would need great word of mouth (like EoT) to get there. Also it needs to survive Kundo and HTTYD2 in it's third week of release without collapsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I see, Apes having a very soft drop next weekend due to there being no competition and the film being awesome. The weekend after however... it's possibly that Dragon is going to get slain big time sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I see, Apes having a very soft drop next weekend due to there being no competition and the film being awesome. The weekend after however... it's possibly that Dragon is going to get slain big time sadly. HTTYD2 is fascinating because it's the first big animation to come out since <Frozen> in Korea. All the others like <Rio 2> and <The Lego Movie> weren't all too highly anticipated to begin with and had problems with distribution in some cases to compound the problem. It will be interesting to see whether the success of Frozen has changed public perception of animated films in general. You could be right though since it's opening day is slapped right in the middle of what is shaping up to be the busiest period of the year. On the plus side, it has no direct competition since there are no major animated films releasing during that time but it will be a survival of the fittest for screens and showtimes. Like frozen, HTTYD2 will need to focus their marketing on targeting family sized audiences to achieve success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 What is Transformers looking to finish with? It's not going to come close to the 69 mill the last one did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 What is Transformers looking to finish with? It's not going to come close to the 69 mill the last one did. I think $45-50 million finish. disappointing decrease from TF3 but it will still be in the top 10 of the year. The franchise has probably hit a peak in Korea, if TF5 has nothing new to offer I think it will decrease further from TF4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
