Grosses there are mostly for bragging rights only. Don't know how much of that is really true or not, how? Sales agents/copyright-owners are almost always pre-paid before the film gets released. No one will license a film without advance payment. Edited January 11, 2019 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangal grossed $175 million in China but it barely gave $1 million to Indian studio. There were reports of some overflows being shared in the tune of $15 million, but not sure how much true.

That's 66+184+205 = $455 global theatrical returns using $1135 ww (287.5 + 335 + 512.5). Simply amazing performance all around. 2 Solid~$60mn less than The Force Awaken domestic returns from $935 million gross.

Black Panther domestic returns $385 million. Well, using the same calculation as a2k, Black Panther global theatrical returns is around $625m. Aquaman global theatrical returns will be 3/4 of the Black Panther, not bad, considering that more than half of Black Panther BO came from the domestic market ( biggest CBM all time domestic), i thought the difference would be bigger.

Exactly. I don't know who or why they report the end total at current XR as opposed to weekly sums. They convert currency quickly or buy currency in advance based on projections to lock in the rate There is no way they'll let their share of OW(usually half the revenue) sit for 2 months while the currency can swing 10+% Edited January 11, 2019 by POTUS 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Aquaman might still have a shot a 2B, but it will be very close. Friday was 2.25M, so weekend looks to be in 12M region and Fri-Thu week in 20M region. So it will be at 1990M after next Thursday. On Friday, there are again numerous releases, so if it can manage to hold on to around 1% of the shows, it can get there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Today Bumble Bee shall go for $13.25mn IMO. A weekend about $29-30mn, under 50% drop. Total by Sunday $110mn and $120mn by Thursday. $150mn is right there in the grab. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
