AUJ dropped to 16m (-54%) on Monday. Can DoS hold on 30m ? ... Need 200m next week to secure 500m.

 

First threat is Robocop next Friday.

AUJ first full week matched OW. Lets see if DOS can beat that.

[Olive]

DOS $32.7M OW, biggest 3-day OW for WB.

4.4M from IMAX screens, beating Gravity's 4.3M.

Thanks to China.  The Hobbit : the Desolation of Smaug now ranked No.2 at Worldwide Box Office with $33.1M ($32.7M from China).

To be noted, DoS $32.7m 198M RMB is also the new biggest 3-days OW for a Hollywood film, topping Fast Six 183m RMB.

 

--------

 

2014 already seems to be an interesting to follow at the China box office. So far, it has proved to be a strong year for both Chinese and Hollywood movies without a major misfire. Even As the Light Goes Out probably didnt loose money when HongKong market and all steams considered. Fantastic start for local films thus far nevertheless. Unlike in 2013, which is a slow year for Hollywood with the soft debut of Skyfall in January, in 2014 DM2, Jack Ryan, Frozen and now DoS, all first revenue sharing Hollywood quotas have been very successful.

 

Next:

 

Robocop ------- 2.28

The Family ----- 3.7 ---- buyout

Free Birds ------- 3.7 ---- buyout

Need for Speed ----- 3.14

Snowpiercer ----- 3.15

The Monuments Men ----- TBD

Mr. Peabody & Sherman ----- TBD

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty ----- TBD

 

Captain America 2 ---- April

Amazing Spiderman 2 ---- April

Transcendence ---- April

 

Local productions will be relatively quite until late April.

Could this help The Hobbit reach 1B?

No. It needs a bigger surprise from Japan, what I do not think it will happen. It will land in 960-970 range

That would mean worse legs than AUJ...

 

So 940M WW without Japan's gross, right?

AUJ multiplier 2.72 brings DOS close to 90. Slightly better legs: 100m.Japan will need to to do 37 - 47m. Very possible

I will keep supporting hollywood until the day the chinese market surpasses it

So with revised report, DoS just slightly edged out Pacific Rim's biggest OD record (57m) for a WB movie, now only behind IM3, TF3 and Titanic 3D among foreign releases. As mentioned above, DoS 201m 3-days OW take is also a new record among Hollywood films.

 

Through Sunday, Frozen sits at 246m, BLS 328m.

 

Monday seems soft.
