WORLD WAR Z: $WORLD WAR Z: $335M Overseas Total / $535.9M Global Total

[A Marvel Fanboy]

This is banned in China right?

no

[baumer]

This really needs to make bank overseas because domestically it ain't lookin so huge

 

Well, care to revise your statement?  It could go as high as 65 OW.

[baumer]

no

 

So is it getting a Chinese release?

So is it getting a Chinese release?

Uncertain.

 

But not releasing here doesnot mean it's banned.

Some say the movie has a rather critical look at overpopulation....

You figure out the rest. I saw WWZ a few hrs ago. It has many

intense, epic action scenes but the movie slows down to a crawl

near the end when they should reserve the best action for the

finale. The Jerusalem scene is massive, intense. I wish this is 

rated R because the movie is too safe to be scary, too scary for

safe audience. It will open huge but would drop like PROMETHEUS.

The implication of the movie,

the zombie cure is rather ridiculous.

Infect ourself with known disease to fight off another?

No clue to Patient Zero, origin of zombie virus.

I want a sequel, I want answers. Damon or no Damon.

It's not a cure.

Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice 7m

WORLD WAR Z hit hard overseas, biting off $45.8M in 25 territories--30% of the int'l market. KOR $10.3M UK $7.1M OZ $5.5M

[A Marvel Fanboy]

With 3X, it will finish with 138M from current markets.

 

Another 70% OS potential to go, so 460M OS is possible. 400M is possible even without a China release. All it needs is a 3x multiplier.

[fmpro]

a 3 multiplier is far from easy in this market from a horror ish movie..

 

But its possible no doubt

[Olive]

550M WW is very likely

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It's basically on original movie in OS places. And it's summer now.

[SentryTrans]

WWZ2 could make 600m OS! 

[baumer]

It'll do 450 imo.

[mmacader]

Muscular $70.1M intl wknd for #WorldWarZ. $135.3M cume, $259M ww. New openings: Russia $12.3M, Mexico $7.9M, Germany $7.6M.

[tilko]

So around 300 OS + 200 DOM = 500 WW

[TLK]

$450-$500 million is a decent WW number. Now they need to keep the budget of the sequel under $200 million and they have a franchise.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

more like 400+ os

Propelling Paramount past the $1bn mark for 2013, World War Z scared up an excellent $70.1m in its second weekend for $135.3m to date.

Marc Forster’s adaptation of Max Brooks’ novel recorded superb openings in the likes of Russia ($12.3m - biggest Brad Pitt opening ever), Mexico ($7.9m from 608), Germany ($7.6m from 568) and Brazil ($4m - biggest Pitt opening ever, third best Paramount opening).

Holdovers were strong too with Korea adding $7.7m (dropping 24%), the UK taking $4.2m (dropping 39%) and Australia grossing $3.1m to push the local tally past $10m.

World War Z invades France, Poland and Benelux this weekend.
