I say 200 M. Still have China.

 

When does it open there, and when does Iron Man 3 open there?

TomCruise's #Oblivion opens #1 internationally w/ big $61.1M from 52 mkts (#1 in 48) led by Russia's $8.6M & UK's $7.9M.

Not as much as I hoped but much better than I feared. 250 OS at least is still doable.

It's pretty impressive, considering it's 2D, reviews are kinda mixed and the marketing effort is medium.

SLP last milestone achieved

 

130,355,000

OS is going to be the saving factor, as domestic totals are likely to be not as impressive.Universal kind of gave up on Oblivion making over $200M DOM when they started the generic ad campaign. Believe it or not, the most recent YouTube ads are in Spanish.

By your reaction to the number it looks like you weren't expecting much OS as well. . Maybe it'll do solid business as well DOM. Edited April 14, 2013 by WileECoyote

I see it doing just well DOM... 90-110M, which, with OS, which will be around 180-200, it'll give it a 310M (max) WW gross, which is just enough to cover it's 120M budget and the marketing it had.

I'd say about $35M opening here, then $95M final total domestic. Add in $200-220M overseas and the final WW gross is about $295-315M.

200m dom is not something easy that you can do if you want ...

Btw, guys, 250M OS for Oblivion is pretty much locked IMO.

Even with Iron Man opening next weekend?

Yes. Ob has 10~12 days free time before IM3.

I see it doing slightly better 350-360WW. That number is still pretty solid because honestly felt a little uneasy about its BO. Edited April 14, 2013 by WileECoyote

Oh yeah, you're right. I thought Iron Man opened this upcoming weekend... (19 April)

11m

Note: This not very good box office weekend is up from last year… reminding us yet again what a dumb stat comparing weekends by year is

 

I think this all the time.

$150m for 42???@giteshpandya: Like #42, Help & BlindSide were race dramas w/ many white characters & earned A+ Cscores. They did 6-7x their openings.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I called 150M for 42 earlier yesterday ... 

[AngryElf]

I saw that and didn't even bother looking.  It has to be the least leggy.

 

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (another Tyler Perry movie) did a 2.31 multiplier (21.9/50.6m).

But it didn't get an A+ though, did it?

Tyler Perry is dragging the "A+" Cinemascore rate through the mud.

It actually did.
