CJohn Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Not even Skyfall is able to take The Impossible from the top spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Wow. I had bet that Skyfall would beat The Impossible. For the record, Skyfall has been quite well promoted and last two Bond movies had opened to 3-4 million € Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 So depending on how well Impossible holds, Skyfall could be looking at around 300-400k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajde Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Isn't thursday a holiday in Spain?Thought it would ensure the Bond movie a first spot.Surprisingly, it must've helped Lo Imposible more than it did to Skyfall.That film doesn't stop impressing me, what a beast Edited November 1, 2012 by Ajde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Skyfall would beat The Impossible too. I was thinking in 5.5 million € for Skyfall and 4.5 million for The Impossible (5-day numbers), but it seems The Impossible will win.

peludo Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Damn, the Impossible is really a beast in Spain.Skyfall can hardly beat its 4th weekend! Proportionally, The Impossible is like Avengers in US. It will get the third spot in all-time ranking behind Avatar and Titanic. And if Titanic had not been re-released it could have got the second spot. I think it will fly over 38 million € Titanic's original run but it will not reach 41.5 million €, which is the new Titanic's gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Avatar is so far ahead in Spain, I can't imagine a movie passing it, particularly during a crisis like this one.BTW I'm surprised Spanish people seem to have some money left for a movie in particular, I guess most of them are working adults in their 40s/50s + retirees, because with a 55% unemployment rate for the young people there I can't imagine they have much money left, or just for partying some nghts (and yet..)

That is correct that people do not go as much to cinema as before crisis (just 2 times per person and year. Before crisis we went 3 times per year), but the fact is we go proportionally the same to all the movies than in US, for instance. I will try to explain.The biggest movie in US this year is Avengers with 623 million. In Spain, for the moment, the biggest movie is The Impossible which can finish with 50 million $. Both are exceptional cases. The Impossible will rank third of all-time at the end of its run, in the same way than Avengers. The factor between them is about 12.5, so 100 million in US=8 million in Spain. For the moment, this year US has had 20 movies over 100 million. Spain has 18 movies over 8 million this year.Even if you take a movie which has made 10 times less than highest. In us that movie is Underworld Awakening, which ranks #35. in Spain that movie is War horse which ranks #32. Proportionally, we have very similar rankings.

BCN Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 The Impossible is with €27.5MM the new highest box office Spanish film ever. Congratulations. Rentrak Over The Others and The Orphanage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The Impossible is with €27.5MM the new highest box office Spanish film ever. Congratulations. Rentrak Over The Others and The Orphanage Expected, but still great. The Others has held the record 11 years. We will see if any movie is able to reach its 6.4 million admissions.

peludo Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Good or bad?I do not have data to compare with other similar holiday weekends. The Impossible opened on Thursday 11th, just before another national holiday to 1.2 million, so Skyfall is opening with about a half of that. If nobody corrects me I would consider it expected. 5-day weekend could go about 5 or 6 million €. Quantum of Solace opened to 4 million but its main competition was second weekend of Saw 2, not a monster like The Impossible or big animation movies like Tadeo Jones or HT. I think they are quite good news.Just to point I have just come from cinema. I had not ever seen a so crowded cinema in my life. People were taking photos to queues. It is a complex with 18 screens and I have needed 1 hour to buy tickets. I do not know if The Impossible is making people back to cinemas, but the fact is that today cinemas are full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
