Uh, what country is this?

Beats me really, doesn't seem that impressive compared any other movies out there. Not sure if it's the dinosaur prehistoric setting which kids tend to love...perhaps its scratch, so endearing.

What's impressive last year was the way Ice Age 3 was able to neutrilize and rise above HP6, they opened within weekends of each other and IA3 was still able to rise above HP6 in most markets, even as soon as HP6's 2nd weekend.

And to think that both movie ended up with above $600m, goes to show how big the international market can be.

Sorry. Hong Kong.

Hong Kong was never in doubt for me, always thought it would do well there. Especially when it's been performance quite well in the other asian countries to date.

AUSTRALIA (AU$) - Full Week 1

Added a whopping $4.4m over Mon-Wed....school holidays definately in full swing. Will be interesting to see how well it holds against Twilight this week. It'll definaetly loose the #1 spot but might drop to around $5m with kids out of school. It's going to be a massive week with The Karate Kid also opening in half of the country....before expanding next week to all states.

1 1 TOY STORY 3 (G), WALT DISNEY [480/ $24,600] 11,808,098 N/A 11,932,856

5 4 SEX AND THE CITY 2 (MA15+), WARNER BROS [387/ $4,647] 1,798,196 -37% 22,087,805

I'm pretty sure it is not going to set the box-office on fire in Germany either. I don't expect more than a third of Ice Age 3's admissions here.

TS3 will fall short of IA3 in Europe by a lot.

Clinging to a fool's hope.

You seem to hate this movie

No, just wondering what the fuss is about.

Seriously people have been going so overboard with this one that there are times I want this to do bad. But the movie is pretty darn good and I want it to do well this being the last of the series. I think this is best animated trilogy to date and one of the best trilogies as well.....still if you say anything that is not in favor of the movie people are like you are shit and you don't know anything.

i don't quite understand ur last sentence soagg...

TS3 > Avatar

Quite easily.

though that's not saying much because even a bug's life is better than avaturd

I don't plan to see TS3 until downloads. LOL, so i can't judge now. Though as ordinary as Avatar is compared to the classic blockbusters like LOTR/Titanic, i would give it a solid 7/10.

Ha ha I would say quality and rating wise it is true.

I won't stoop to this level of "my movie is better than yours", it's childish.

Holds onto the #1 spot against Karate Kid's sluggish opening. It's 2nd weekend hold is fantastic and could well be the biggest of all-time. However the gap of $1.1m which it had over The Simpsons Movie has narrowed to just $600k, seeming to suggest that it doesn't play as powerfully mid-weeks. It should however hold much better than Simpsons Movie from here on out, that movie dropped like a rock after 2 weeks.

It recorded the largest opening weekend of all-time last week ($370k or $110k above the previous record holder Ice Age 3) and held really well this week. It's 2nd weekend is 2nd only to Avatar amongst recent releases and looks poised to match IA3's $860k gross. It's unlike to beat Avatar which had a huge run all the way up to $1.47m.

Thanks JURING, that's awesome. Europe clearly has the lead in Europe so far while TS3 is dominating South America and Asian markets. Too bad the European grosses are where the big money is at..

What's happening in EASTERN EUROPE??

Toy Story better do better in big markets

Is 600m still happening?

Look again.

Excellent post Juring.

The only problem and difference I see between these 2 is the competition. I mean Alice had a strong competition with HTTYD and Clash but they were never heavy openers. As in case of TS3 it is being released in most of the markets against Shrek4 and Eclipse (I still don't believe Inception will be huge OPENER overseas). Also in some markets it is opening against local heavy weights which makes it difficult for its legs.

What's the matter, it is...
