CJohn Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 3D does help since Avengers sold 260.000 tickets and Ted 340.000, but Avengers still beats it in money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 The Master was a miserable flop here. I went to the 8pm screening on the friday it came out, and along with me there was only one guy. He fell asleep about 40 minutes in. Even more hilarious was the bombing of Hitchcock. They had a massive, on a finnish scale, release in practically all movie theaters in the country, and nobody went to see it. Dropped 69% next weekend lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Those two also bombed hard here, but The Master was a limited release (23 theaters) and Hitchcock wasn't released in a big number of theaters either (36 theaters). Warm Bodies also opened here last week and it also flopped (34 theaters). The Impossible was on top again for the 3rd straight weekend.

Jack Nevada Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 This weeks new releases in Finland AMOUR- The same geniuses that decided to put Killing them softly and The Master in all movie theaters in finland are releasing this, so I expect a surprisingly wide release and unsurprisingly terrible results. DIE HARD 5- Not sure if this is going to be a hit or not. Could have a good ow but bad legs. Last Die Hard broke 1M, but wasnt a megahit. WRECK-IT-RALPH- Kids movies are almost guaranteed to make good business in finland, so I suspect Ralph will do a nice profit for Walt Disney Pictures Finland.

Jack Nevada Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Unlike America, in finland the strongest and most profitable season of the movie year is january-march. Most of the Oscar movies are released then, and a lot of finnish movies that end up making a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Same as in Britain, January and February are bloodbaths with each respective Oscar contender trying to find some breathing space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Intouchables was No 38 movie of 2012 in Finland, No 20 in Norway and No 11 in Sweden. Any ideas why so relatively low here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) FINLAND BOX OFFICE UPDATE: NOBODY CARES by Jack Nevada The finnish movie industry is booming right now. I'm being serious. This includes both the films that are being made in Finland and the foreign movies getting released. Hear me out. In 2012 eight million movie tickets were bought. This hadn't happened since 1982. Also 28% of those tickets were bought to a finnish movie. This hadn't happened in 30 years either. 32 movies grossed over a million dollars, with ten of those movies being finnish. These are rather stunning statistics considering Finland has a population of 5,4 million. The biggest movie of 2012 was by far Skyfall, making $8,882,948 according to Box Office Mojo. That means that Skyfall made more money in Finland (population 5,4M) than it made in Austria (pop. 8,4M), Hong Kong (pop. 7,0M), Argentina (pop. 41,6M), Czech Republic (pop. 10,5M), Israel (pop. 8,0M) and Portugal (pop. 10,7M), just to name a few. 2013 hasn't been anything to turn your nose up to either. Its september, and we already have 16 movies that have crossed the one million line. Even more exciting is that the current top five of the year has three homegrown movies, one being the highest grossing film so far, 21 Tapaa Pilata Avioliitto with over 5M. Everything has to be put into context. You dont need to make 1M to be considered a success: * Before Midnight ($355, 142) outgrossed movies like Identity Thief, The Internship and Jurassic Park 3D * Amour ($317,758) outgrossed movies like The Impossible, Gangster Squad, Texas Chainsaw 3D and Flight * Quartet ($603,478) outgrossed movies like Star Trek Into Darkness, Silver Linings Playbook and After Earth * Django Unchained ($1,745, 422) outgrossed movies like Fast and Furious 6, The Hangover Part III, Die Hard 5, Wreck-it-Ralph and Man of Steel. I'd say finns have more than a healthy habit of going to the movies. If you want your movie to make a little money and have decent legs, you bring it to Finland. Because only 2-5 movies are released each week, movies tend to have indeed really long legs. A movie will stay in the top 10 considerably longer than in the US or UK, or even Sweden. Despite all this we still sometimes get the short end of the stick. Movie distributors aren't taking many risks. If a movie doesn't have a broad appeal, it will go directly to DVD. Just a few weeks ago we got the news that neither This is The End nor The World's End are getting a theatrical release, presumably because they dont have recognizable enough stars. Still, it is a great time to be a film fan in Finland right now. Almost every mid size town and city has a some sort of movie theater or a video rental store. You dont have to wait months for the newest release to move from Helsinki to the smaller cities like you used to; nowadays enough copies are put out there to be sent to most theaters on opening weekend. Thank you for reading. If ya'll liked it, I might start doing bi-weekly reports on the finnish box office results and movie industry in general.
