A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 So 6M more than the 10M estimate.It is at least $16M from China imo. The reported $10.5M is by Saturday would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall on the weekend,Life of Pi grossed in its opening offshore launch $23.9 million – about $6.5 million more than was reported Sunday -- at 5,483 locations in the four markets. IMAX said the film tallied $3 million on 97 IMAX screens in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, for a per-screen average of more than $30,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Life of Pi is having some great weekdays in India! It has reached nearly $6.5m in 7 days.Should cross $10m with ease despite the heavy competition and loss of screens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I think 300M OS and 400M+ WW can happen now. Some people thought this was going to be another Hugo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2002 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I think 300M OS and 400M+ WW can happen now. Some people thought this was going to be another Hugo. It really is not fair to compare it to Hugo. The trailer of LoF is shining, beautiful, colorful, a pure eye candy, almost the opposite to Hugo's which was dark, ponderous and boring. LoP is clearly a much easier sale.The only connection between them is that Martin and Lee, both known for their art films, went to a new territory of directing a 3D movie.
