Rsyu Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Interstellar's week 4 admissions were down by 27.8% compared to the previous week. With Sunday’s numbers it reached 8 million admissions, 2 days faster than Frozen and on the same day of release as Avatar. It also passed $60M gross, putting it within striking distance of IM3. Interstellar requires a week to week average drop under 40% for at least 2 more weeks to breach 10M admissions. It loses the IMAX screens to Exodus so it remains to be seen how it can hold without it. Big match had a pretty solid opening week, comparable to the opening of Mockingjay part.1 in the previous week. Word of mouth isn’t bad but isn’t all that good either which means it will have some okayish legs but nothing special. 1.8-2M admissions or thereabouts should be do-able. Fury had a great second week. It’s had some great word of mouth cushioning its drops from last week and helping it to rise by 14.6% compared to its opening week. 1.5M admissions is locked at this point and if legs continue to hold, 2M admissions looks good for it. Things were much different for Mockingjay part.1 had a pretty rough week. Unlike Fury, it had fairly negative word of mouth culminating in a 39.3% decrease from its opening week. Its second week compared to Catching fire is down by 26.2% and I’d say that there’s now a very high chance that it finishes below the final total of catching fire now. It’s disappointing I guess but South Korea was never big on The Hunger games series so in the grand scheme of things, it makes little difference. Dumb and dumber to has very mixed-to-average ratings and numbers are pretty much on level with expectations (i.e. not very good numbers). It should stay in the top 10 for another week but fully expect it to drop out on the week after. Next weekend top 5 prediction 1. Exodus: gods and kings 2. Interstellar 3. Big Match 4. Fury 5. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay pt.1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local films in particular fell into a downward spiral, although it does seem like big match picked things up just recently. It remains to be seen whether Interstellar legs will hold without IMAX screens but even if it doesn't, this will be looked back on as a memorable run, especially in contrast to it's runs in other territories. If Interstellar manages an average weekly drop of sub 40% for the remainder of its run, it should breach the 10M admissions barrier some time in December. November’s impressive performance put the yearly admissions at 193.4M, 800K ahead of 2013 at the same point in time. It’s on pace to finish the calendar year with around the same number as 2013 which is a great number as long as December lives up to expectations. Gross ahead by some distance in local currency at the same point in time.

Rsyu Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Big Hero 6 (Re-titled as Big hero in Korea for some reason) is set to be released on Jan 22 2015, a week later than Frozen's release date. Potential competition include Gangnam Blues, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, Husamgwan, and Taken 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 They should release BH6 later cause Chinese new year is almost one month later than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 They should release BH6 later cause Chinese new year is almost one month later than last year. It's tricky. I think Disney wanted to get the most out of winter holiday legs as possible since Big hero 6 will be one of those films that appeal to school children a lot. February, a lot of kids go back to school before spring break starts for another 2 weeks so better to release in Jan I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seduh Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sorry but Frozen run over here was amazing, more amazing than IS, not that it make IS run bad, but Frozen make twice the previous record animated movie. It develop 8x legs. And in Japan Frozen run was somethin unique, was a Titanic in the USA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsyu Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Just comparing Interstellar and Frozen's run in South Korea, I'd say that if interstellar reaches 10M admissions it would have been the more impressive run over Frozen. As impressive as frozen's run was, it had the clear advantage of 2 months of winter holidays on top of the Chinese New year holiday. Would it have reached 10M admissions with Interstellar's release date? (Generally recognized as one of the weakest months months of the year for the box office). It's hard to make that argument. On the flipside, if Interstellar had frozen's release date we'd be talking about Interstellar and Avatar. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
