Monsters University OS (Settling for fine 480M OS total)

[druv10]

What's the cume in Japan|?

 

 

Not sure but it should be over 30M and probably close to 35.

47.5M OS WEEK

THe week before 54M

Any new markets open?

Incredible Hold.

Monsters University broke the half-billion global mark on July 17, setting the stage for a weekend that only included one new opening. The film becomes Pixar's seventh consecutive title to surpass the $500 million mark. The Pixar prequel has held on well around the world and contributed another $20.7 million from overseas to reach a $283.9 million total outside of North America and a $532.9 million cume. The top overseas earners for Monsters U include Mexico ($37.4M), Japan ($34.4M), Australia ($21.2M), Argentina ($21.1M), Russia ($20.6M), Brazil ($16.1M), the U.K. ($13M), Spain ($12.6M), and Germany ($11.8M).

Mexico and Argentina numbers are astonishing

[Olive]

Mexico and Argentina numbers are astonishing

And European markets are so disappointing.

Mexico and Argentina numbers are astonishing

 

Particularly Argentina given its population is much smaller than in Mexico.

Latin America is really a wonderful market for Hollywood movies, much more than China IMO.

[Fullbuster]

And European markets are so disappointing.

 

Economic crisis + Competition from DM2...MU has been unlucky on this one.

Disney should take note that DM2 is pulling beyond the family crowd.

The story of a super-villain trying to get a date appeals to the older audience

hence the bigger numbers in all markets. Disney should not be resting on its laurels.

I think Illumination has bigger plans ahead...

[Dilusha Bandara]

Mexico and Argentina numbers are astonishing

DM 2 Mexico numbers are more astonishing!

[Fullbuster]

DM 2 Mexico numbers are more astonishing!

 

Not really, Mexico (114m people) is much more populated than Argentina (40m).

With 114m inhabitants Argentina would gross about $60m.

No thank you, Pixar needs to remain like it is, it's why so many people love their movies. By the way Toy Story 3 is the highest-grossing animated movie with more than $1B WW, Despicable Me 2 is still far from it despite it benefits from bigger emerging markets and inflation.

Extremely disappointing in the UK. But it's still hot, so that's not helping. Holidays have started now though so I hope it rebounds. For Europe as a whole though, that's probably part of the reason grosses seem a bit muted.

 

Amazing performance in Japan.

Another normal 20% drop this weekend, expect something similar this weekend before Smurfs hits next weekend.

It's in Israel right? THat seems high

It's in Israel right? THat seems high

 

Depends on how you look at it, but I don't think it's that that high, using my 2.2M projection and comparing to other Pixar films:

 

TS3: 4.4M

Up: 3.6M

Ratatouille: 3.1M

MU: 2.2M

The Incredibles: 2.2M

Wall-E: 1.9M

Brave: 1.7M

Cars 2: 1.5M

 

So, right in the middle. If you compare it to other animations that have released so far this year, then it will finish behind DM2 and on par with The Croods, and well ahead of Epic .

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY: $321.6M Overseas Total / $576.9M Global Total. #MonstersUniversity

 

Another strong hold, 400M should happen. 37.7M OS week, down only 20% from last week.

Japan helped a lot!

[Olive]

400M is locked, China should add 10-15M.

I would really love if MU could hit 100M in Japan.
