John Marston Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Maze Runner is not a franchise they care about. First two didn't do big business there. If it can get past Scorch Trials gross though that's still good for its overall numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fell just 30% this weekend, its 2nd weekend, which is a very good fall. No big movie is opening this coming weekend, but there are several which may take screens away from it. Still It should not fall a lot. It also has a very high rating of 9.5 which will help its legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeeSoh Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Tuesday: Secret Superstar - 20.64m (up 3.5% from Monday) Maze Runner 3 - 17.1m (down 6.25% from Monday) Great run from SS. I wonder how high it can go. I think it can cross 100m USD. If it does cross $100m it would have grossed over 7 times what it grossed in India (its domestic market). I wonder if there has ever been a case where a movie grossed so much more in a foreign market compared to its domestic market. Aamir Khan should make his next movie a joint Chinese production with some chinese actors and partially set in China Edited January 30, 2018 by ZeeSoh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know any other bigger case. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it is fair to call resident Evil a domestic US movie (instead of Japan ?) but that one that came close: Total Lifetime Grosses Domestic: $26,830,068 8.6% + Foreign: $285,412,558 91.4% = Worldwide: $312,242,626 China Sony 2/24/17 $94,335,503 59.1% $159,548,686 3/19/17 It did I imagine around 24m-24.5m in the US (dometic is US + canada), that was a 6.6 or so multi.

And I think that the same happens with some Woody Allen's films. There are 2 or 3 of them which grossed more in some European countries than in US. But of course, by a couple of million, not by x7...

This is like the most far flung edge case ever thanks to Weinstein. Amityville The Awakening earned 742$ in the US and made 1.5M in Russia. That is 2000x more in Russia compared to domestic for the movie. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=amityvillehorror12.htm 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meriodejaneiro Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (This is totally off topic) I was reading a news about Jim Caviezel, and he stated that Mel Gibson is already working on the sequel for The Passion of The Christ, with Caviezel starring as Christ again. And checking on boxofficemojo data, i came to see to my biggest surprise that this movie got released in China. How a movie like that made it through the censorship government? Will that second part make it too nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
