With DJANGO opening in more than 60 markets this weekend, I think the movie needs its own INTL thread... Opening in Germany looks to be huge with 800,000 admissions based on Thursday sales... EDIT: It should be noted that huge parts of Germany were covered by a massive snowstorm and still Thursday was very, very impressive... |

It is no surprise Django is a hit in Germany considering Christoph Waltz can easily be billed as a lead. |

I know he was born in Austria, but he is a German citizen, lives in Berlin, and from my knowledge, stars moreso in German films than Austrian. |

But Algren, the only German character in Django is a staunch abolitionist. |

Why does that matter? Beating blacks, constant use of the word "nigger" and a general sense that one race is genetically made to be submissive to the superior race is very appealing to Germans.

To be honest, I'm a tad disappointed. I was thinking around 60/70M over the weekend, with 500M WW being the final target. |

DU has DiCaprio in a supporting role and going way higher. Also, WWII is a way bigger genre than Western. It's doing awesome. |

Quote: Django Unchained is off to a great start with $48.1 million in 54 markets. Globally, Django has $186.5 million in the bank. Key stats from Sony, the film's overseas distributor: DJANGO opening is 30% bigger than the aggregated opening weekends of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS in the same 54 markets ($37.02 million). In all, 23 of the 38 individual markets we tracked opened at #1 with just about all of them exceeding the opening of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. Top markets: GERMANY launched with $9.6 million, #1 in the market and 2½ times the opening of INGLOURIOUS. FRANCE opened with $7.3 million, also #1 and 25% bigger than INGLOURIOUS. RUSSIA earned $5.4 million, #2 in the market behind HANSEL AND GRETEL... and more than double INGLOURIOUS. The UK bowed with $4.8, 2nd in the market behind LES MIZ and 54% more than the F-S-S of INGLOURIOUS. ITALY grossed $4.3 million, #1 in the market and 62% bigger then INGLOURIOUS, SPAIN tallied $3.3 million, #1 in the market and 13% less than INGLOURIOUS, AUSTRIA launched with a big $1.3 million, 68% better than INGLOURIOUS, and SWITZERLAND also bowed at #1 with $1.3 million, which is 64% more than INGLOURIOUS' standard opening weekend. Those european numbers are absolutely great (Spain aside), meaning the film likely underperformed in other countries... |

This will easily make more than IB, it remains to be seen how big. I am thinking $300m OS and $470m-$480m WW with a slight chance of $500m WW total |

It's great to see that Django will join Skyfall and Life of Pi as one of the rather pleasant success stories when it comes to $$$$$$$ in 2012. |
