It INCREASED in the UK?


So it's a total lock for UK and Germany.

isn't Avatar reaching near a record gross in South Korea.


Last film to hit 60 million was Transformers I think...

9.5M seems great to me, but I could be wrong

I haven't been tracking Italy's past records how much will it make by end of weekend and how does it fair in the all time openers? What is the prediction and how does that fair will all time totals?

Yes, Korea's total is at 78.25bn KRW now. Considering the exchange rate, it would be $68-70m.
Avatar is already no.1 for a foreign release and also will be the first foreign film that is going to crack 10m admissions .
Since I don't know exactly how much money was grossed from releases in US dollar, i will be glad if this list is helpful to you

$125 million this weekend....

http://www.screendaily.com/news/distribution/avatar-eyes-titanics-record-as-125m-overseas-lifts-tally-to-1115bn/5009717.article

Avatar consolidated its international juggernaut status by crossing the $1bn mark on Friday [January 15] and set a new industry launch record in Italy, the final territory, on $14.5m from 925.

After 13 days in China Avatar has become the biggest release of all time, after adding a further $18.9m from 2,509 screens following the record opening week to stand at $76.6m.

Fox International sources said overall box office fell 18% as James Cameron’s space opera remained active on 14,640 screens in 112 markets, holding on to the number one spot in most.

There was a new all-time industry record in South Korea, too, where in its fifth weekend Avatar added $4.7m from 530 to reach $69.4m.

Elsewhere the film grossed $10.3m in France from 1,076 for a spectacular $113.9m running total. It added $9.2m in Germany from 853 for $85.6m, and $8.8m in the UK from 759 after a 14% rise for $80.5m.

It INCREASED in the UK?


So it's a total lock for UK and Germany.

Something just came into my mind:

Isn't Cameron thinking of re-releasing Titanic in 3D? What if, just what if, it actually makes a lot of money and ends up surpassing Avatar? That'd be an interesting case of Cameron passing Cameron only for Cameron to pass Cameron.

Some more numbers:

Avatar generated a further $5.8m in Russia from 750 to cement its status as the biggest release in history on $88.4m, and in other major territories added: a record $6.4m fifth weekend in Australia for $68.8m; $6.2m in Spain for $68.8m; $5.7m in Japan for $65.4m after only four weekends; $3.1m in Brazil for $33.9m; and $2.3m in Mexico for $32.5m.

In other notable territories, India has reached $20.5m, Taiwan $18.7m, Hong Kong $14.9m, Holland and Sweden $14.3m apiece, Denmark $13.9m, Switzerland $11.2m, Turkey $10.5m, Austria $10.4m, Colombia $8m, Thailand $7.4m, Venezuela $7m, Chile $6.6m, and the UAE $4.7m.

Yeah, but at this pace there's no way whatsoever for the Titanic rerelease to catch up to Avatar. 3D or not.

Avatar's going for $2.3+ billion WW.

Sorry, dear lady, but last year I was about to be your president.

RT posted in bom that it grossed around 7m aussie $ for 75.3M total (again in aus $). that could be another 100m grosser.

For once, BJ's insane predictions come true . This looks headed for at least $1.5 billion and $600m Domestic.

Man, RotK was huge twice.

thanks andrew. how about admissions?
