Tower Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 explain furthermore!! i didn't get that! Look for example at the overseas grosses by weekend for 2012. The film made almost the entirety of its gross by January, the fact that the film continued playing for another 8 months doesn't really matter as the numbers beyond those 2 months were insignificant.

Tower Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 So you are saying this won't have legs??????????? No, I'm saying when you talk about the number of days in release, you are focusing on the last few months in its release where it will make <5% of its gross rather than the the "beginning" (in time, not in gross) of the run where it will gross >95% of its gross. Good legs will extend the period a film is making serious money by a few weeks, but eventually every film reaches a point where it has a bunch of weekends making less than a million, even Avatar.

Tower Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So what is your final OS total for DM2??????????????? 600M for now. P.S there is no need to put 10 question marks at the end of the sentence, I will understand that it's a question even if you only put one.

Tower Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Comparing DM2 OW in Israel to some similar summer animation: Ice Age 4: 400K Toy Story 3: 391K Madagascar 3: 381K Despicable Me 2: 330K Despicable Me: 201K Multipliers from OW: Madagascar 3: 11.8 (4.51M total) Toy Story 3: 11.3 (4.42M total) Ice Age 4: 8.7 (3.46 total) Despicable Me: 8.5 (1.7M total) The first DM is less comparable because of the release date, so this is likely to land between the multipliers of IA4 and Mad 3, so between 2.8M and 3.9M.

Dilusha Bandara Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) 600M for now. P.S there is no need to put 10 question marks at the end of the sentence, I will understand that it's a question even if you only put one. 600M for now??? what that means?? you mean it'll fall short of 600M???

Tower Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 600M for now??? what that means?? you mean it'll fall short of 600M??? I mean 600M, but it it's still early in the run so the possible range it can land in is quite large, so it's not that say to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC1987 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Possible?? I don't think so! Many sequels have done it, especially in recent years. IM3 made more than it's two predecessors combined, TDK nearly tripled BB, FF doubled F&F, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
