After running mostly between 45-70% stronger, this large drop, albeit typical for nearly all films, put a damper on the run. Only 33% more than TF4s 2nd Monday. I assume it will run similarly the rest of the midweek. Hopefully it will show a bit more strength on the weekend or 400m is in jeopardy. If so, it still has a wild card with May holiday if it can keep enough showtimes.

TF4 is much bigger blockbuster in terms of gross, of course. The Last Samurai is much smaller movie, even R rated. 

I didnt want to compare those movies, i meant that last samurai was first propper expensive movie to make more in one single country than it made in US.  by expensive i meant that it was not small indie or art movie, which only makes few milions in US so it is not hard to beat it outside US.

on the other hand, TF4 made about 250M in US, which is a lot. but still, for such a movie it was not satisfactory. FF7 US gross will be much bigger than expected. even so, chinese gross will be bigger. this is the first time when this happens in china. it happened only once before, in japan 12 years ago with last samurai.   

 

 

You are using a very arbitrary definition for blockbuster, TF4 made much more than The Last Samurai even adjusted for inflation, and was the highest grosser in May-June-Jul

I'm pretty sure this has alreasy happened in China with Pacific Rim

yes but pacrim was a disappointment in Dom and therefore easy to beat.

TLS wad a bit of a feat for Japan to beat DOM but it was a modest hit not a blockbuster TF$ was big, but underperformed for the franchise.  This will however be the first over performing dom blockbuster to get beat.

How much a film made relative to pre-release expectations in that country is not relevant when you are comparing it to other countries, actual numbers do. Different countries have different tastes and when people are predicting a films gross they already take this into account. The actual important statistic is that FF7 will be the highest grossing film DOM to be beaten by an overseas territory.

FF7 actual 70M,total 1624M

 

It's slowing down now. It's going to need a big time jump on Friday, otherwise 400M is dead with final destination around 350-360M.
