Look like it opened on 2nd place in Spain behind John Carter.

Intouchables is the 2012's highest grossing OS movie after 2 full months. For a movie not released in states that is very impressive.

8.78 average grade on Russian Kinopoisk
57th place in the top 250 list and still climbing.
5th place by popularity as today.
Pirated copies may obviously hurt future release but they also created terrific word of mouth.

Italy:

€1,493,474 1st weekend
€1,510,304 (+1 %) 2nd weekend €3,753,698 total
€1,437,757 (-5 %) 3rd weekend €5,837,035 total

Usually, Italy is a big-drop-country...

Biggest blockbusters in Switzerland since TITANIC:

admissions:
1) 1,940.584 TITANIC
2) 1,176,155 AVATAR
3) 1,138,914 INTOUCHABLES - and still No. 1!!!

This is one of only two releases the Weinsteins have set for the entire summer, limited or wide (The other being a Swedish action flick named Easy Money). I think this has a LOT of potential in the U.S. right now if they handle it well.

1.3 mln euro and 2nd place behind JC in Spain.

Estimated 340,000 admissions in its 10th weekend in Germany and 6,500,000 total (it passed Harry Potter 7.2 in admissions now here).


It is still #1 in its 10th week and I do believe there is a certain chance it'll remain #1 next week as well (not sure about Türkisch für Anfänger breaking out). It will be close. It'll break 7 million admissions within the next two weeks. My projection of 8.5 million still stands. If The Hobbit disappoints, it will be the #1 movie of 2012.

What about your projection, Mark?

I'm raising mine to 8m...

As soon as it reaches 7.2m INTOUCHABLES will become the most successful French movie in Germany since (at least) 1968...

Soon we will be on the same page.

The Hunger Games will be quite big...I am sensing it. 2.5 million admissions at least. The books are bigger than Twilight was when the first film came out. An opening above 850,000 admissions wouldn't surprise me.

Germany:
1st weekend: 295,661 admissions - 328,742 total

*6th biggest 11th weekend of all-time

INTOUCHABLES finally drops from the No. 1 spot (beaten by a German comedy) and below first weekend's total...

Good weather will take a major toll on the box-office this weekend. Then again, Saturday is supposed to be rainy again, at least around here.

If Intouchables somehow manages two more weekend above 200,000 admissions after this one, I'll up my projection to 9 million...

The TV-show was rather popular in Russia. I have been thinking about suggesting a theatrical release here...

HR "French comedy sensation Intouchables emerged No. 1 in Italy via Medusa Film. Fourth round at some 400 situations generated an estimated $1.7 million, lifting the film’s market cume to an estimated $10.2 million." .

Not an enormous number like in Germany and France but still a terrific result. It seems also that Intouchables moved from 2nd to 1st in Spain. At least by admissions.

Italy:

€1,493,474 1st weekend
€1,510,304 (+1 %) 2nd weekend €3,753,698 total
€1,437,757 (-5 %) 3rd weekend €5,837,035 total
€1.447.969 (+1 %) 4th weekend €7.854.632 total

Those drops are unheard of in Italy - and it climbed to No. 1 in its 4th weekend...

16% 2nd weekend increase in Spain. Another terrific result.

Germany:
1st weekend: 295,661 admissions - 328,742 total
2nd weekend: 478,727 admissions (+62 %) - 921,117 total
3rd weekend: 622,924 admissions (+30 %) - 1,751,546 total

11th weekend: 242.367* admissions (-29 %) - 6,866,308 total

*5th biggest 11th weekend of all-time

So...it will become the highest-grossing non-English-language movie of all-time worldwide, eh?

The Passion...

Overseas then.

Besides, yanno, The Passion's a completely different (and weird) beast, considering the dead languages and all...

Anyway, with its current success in Italy and Spain, still going strong in Germany and releases in many markets coming up, a $400+ million worldwide total is moving up from possible to likely.

South Korea (Thursday): 46,161 admissions (49,553 cume)

Opens in Greece, Portugal and Taiwan next week.

I made this table of Intouchables' run so far, see what you guys think.
