South Korea Box Office

Yeah this. Same demo same release date but different result? Just plain weird. 

 

 

 

You keep focussing on that Friday number but it wasn't the only unpredictable part of AoU's run. I'll break it down for you

 

Thursday: Opening day. Pre-release hype build up was huge and opening mirrored expectations mostly

Friday: Tiny increase from opening day, much less jumps than either IM3 or TA1. Some mini-meltdowns happened until talismanring mentioned the possibility of OD being overloaded with fanboys. Still I don't think anyone saw that friday number coming and it certainly isn't logical. 

Saturday-Sunday: huge number, second only to roaring currents and outside of the holiday frame too. Met the high end of most people's expectations.

Monday: Drop from sunday was bigger than IM3 or TA1. Given that these two opened with the same release date as AoU, the exams students theory didn't get much notice. 

Tuesday: Dropped again from that low Monday number. Given that weekdays usually don't drop unless there are new releases this was pretty unexpected and in most cases would be sign of bad word of mouth. 

Wednesday: Unexpected increase. End of exam students was the easiest explanation but again unexpected since the same didn't happen for TA1 or IM3. 

Thursday: Other films dropped in attendance since Thursday is the day most movies get released. AoU increased again though and with a bigger increase than it showed last week on Friday over opening day.

Friday: Given that AoU seemed to have been building some steam a good increase was expected but the degree of increase was again surprising. a 124% increase compared to the 77.9% saturday increase over Friday on opening week. Beat most people's expectations again.

Saturday-Sunday: Met most people's expectations

Monday: Another huge number for a supposed workday. Again beat most people's expectations.

So true but to be fair, most of the panic came from us two. You panicked hard on opening Friday and I really panicked on Tuesday.

Why are dom threads horrible?

Gloom, doom and haters

And i tried to calm you down

Gloom, doom and haters

It's a heaven for Marvel haters right now.

[keysersoze123]

Domestic threads are just a huge pain in the ass right now. It's going to be a huge rollercoaster. Talking about erratic, that would be domestic run so far.

 

I think biggest problem with domestic was early friday estimates which gave totally wrong picture. Saturday drop was understandable based on impact of "fight of the century". So some of the BO lost was gained back on Sunday with otherwise impossible drop for May Sunday. Since Sunday was boosted with "saturday gross" monday dropped slightly worse than otherwise. I think unlike korea we are not going to see anything unexpected going forward. There are no holidays until memorial day anyway. So the run will be predictable.

Its not fun

I really really hopes it breaks out in China so the glory days will appear once again

Haha yeah guilty as charged  That Friday number was 100-150K admissions lower than I'd anticipated and I let my disappointment show. 

[keysersoze123]

So in Korea will it increase/stay flat/decrease today. Looking at presales I guess holidays are over and we will be back to normal weekday tomorrow. So GLOOM/DOOM/HATERS could come back here as well

 

Otherwise amazing run. Let us see if it makes 100m in korea.

Which is fine and I do expect Saturday to have good hold but this run domestically, is turning very blah. OS is still looking at 1 to 1.1B and when you factor cheaply exchange rates that's a phenomenal number. Hell it's a phenomenal number either way.

I think 1.1B is done. Anything beyond needs record china run. For now its better to not set expectations beyond 300m for china. Even though its look good with Tomorrowland opening getting delayed.

I've lowered my expectations in China. There's no way SARFT will let another Hollywood movie breakout especially with record breaking numbers by FF7. Funny thing is, they thought pushing TA2 to May 12th would help local movies but instead it cleared the path for FF7 even more. Same isn't for TA2 but presales are promising and it has potential to go crazy so who knows what will happen.

It happens to all of us. Thank you South Korea, you've supported TA2 unlike any other market. Sincerely, Marvel fandom.
