keysersoze123 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 exchange rates problem, not Chinese number, which is good. This is not a disappointment. It is what was expected, 5 million more or less. But finale boost was not as much as what I thought was possible. Even on the release weekend when dollar was already very strong we were predicting 750m. Actually after its OW people were even predicting 800M despite knowing dollar strength. But its OS legs were just ok. No different from domestic where it got no finale boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With July exchange rates it would have finished with about $770-780m OS. There have been boost but bad luck too. That's all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I wonder what Return of the King would have done in the modern Chinese BO... Good question... I guess that every Harry Potter and LOTR movie would had done over $150m, maybe bordering $200m. But ROTK did "just" $10m, biggest Hollywod release of 2004. http://forums.boxofficetheory.com/index.php?/topic/678-china-box-office-the-hobbittbotfa-13mopening-day/page-188#entry463699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picores Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hobbits opening day has ended up only being like another normal day in the life of American Sniper. ....I dont see the connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 ....I dont see the connection. I guess he means nothing special during the American Sniper kingdom. At the end of the day the most impressive number will remain the AS figure instead the Hobbit's opening in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonstersandRoy Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) ....I dont see the connection. Meaning Hobbit's "big" opening day gross is just like any other day in the life of American Sniper right now. That film is currently crapping out bucket loads of money whatever the day. Seems to be doing those sort of numbers in the US everyday right now. Anyway, nevermind . Hopefully Hobbit has a decent increase Saturday.

Quigley Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I guess $52M OW is a reasonable estimate. Plus minus $5M. Still impressive. Just not enough to reach $1B WW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recon $47/$48m, it it follows the 45% increase it had on DoS for it's opening day. So plus minus $5m you are probably spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Almost forgot that Expendables 3 opened on Apes 2 first Monday. Hence 700m+ is still on track for TH3. Friday will be critical, four wide openers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So maybe $115m-$120m still in play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Same OD multiplier as DOS will put it ending at 750M yuan. 700-750M is the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
