SentryTrans Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) 400-450M WW might be enough for a sequel. PR2 could make 700m OS! Edited October 22, 2013 by SentryTrans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elyccia Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 the OS number will be interesting to follow and also because not all countries as the same rating for the movie. pg 13 in US for example , in France, no pg13 for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 That's a good start! Since many major markets have yet to open. 400m WW shouldn't be a problem IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Rock Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 South Korea came in as the biggest overseas performer for the popcorn flick with $9.6 million. . Russia contributed a $9.3 million weekend that scored 177% above the Transformers 2 opening in the country and 208% ahead of the debut of War of the Worlds. Mexico brought in $5.8 million, placing behind the runaway success of Despicable Me 2 for the #2 film in the territory. A tsunami ripped through Taiwan over the weekend but couldn't stop a fantastic $3.5 million performance from the Guillermo del Toro film. Pacific Rim became the biggest opener of the year for Warner Bros. in Thailand, grossing above Man of Steel with a $2.4 million debut. Pacific Rim took in $3.2 million from 907 screens in the United Kingdom, ranking second in the market behind the premiere of Monsters University.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 [*]Warner Bros Pictures International’s sci-fi tentpolePacific Rim [pictured] launched day-and-date with North America and the international results were strong. Guillermo del Toro’s latest release opened on 9,800 screens across a modest footprint of 38 markets and drew 8.3m admissions. The early worldwide tally including the $38.3m number three North American debut stands at $91.3m. Pacific Rim delivered an outstanding $9.6m number one debut in South Korea from 1,005 screens nationwide to claim approximately 50% market share and defied warm weather in Russia to produce a $9.3m number one result from 1,537. The tentpole opened second behind Despicable Me 2 in del Toro’s native Mexico on $5.3m from 1,750 in what turned out to be three times bigger than any of the director’s previous films. It is expected to overtake the $5.8m lifetime total of Pan’s Labyrinth on Monday. A number one $3.5m debut in Taiwan from 177 delivered an emphatic result in the wake of Typhoon Soulik, which made landfall early on Saturday morning. In Taipei the Friday-Sunday estimated of $1.1m represented 57% share of the top five. Pacific Rim opened in second place in the UK on $3.2m from 907 behind the Monsters University debut and arrived in third place in Australia on $2.6m from 428 behind the debut of The Heat and the fourth session ofDespicable Me 2. Thailand delivered an excellent $2.4m number one from 300 and WBPI executives estimated 80% market share. If these figures are confirmed on Monday the debut will be Warner Bros’ biggest debut of the year and the studio’s fourth biggest of all time. The film arrives this week in France and Germany followed by China on Jul 31 and Spain, Japan and Brazil on Aug 9. Pacific Rim grossed more than $4m on 124 IMAX screens for a $32,000-plus per-screen average. Results were especially strong in Taiwan on $430,000 from seven, South Korea on $655,000, Russia on more than $1 and Mexico. The IMAX global box office stands at $11.3m.
