Post subject:  Furious 7 (INTL) $1.5b WW

After the great pre-sales success with 50SOG, Universal will start F&F7 pre-sales this week here in Germany - I guess it won't be different in other places...

Anyway, I would consider anything less than $800m WW a disappointment - even with the unfavorable exchange rates going around...

INTL:
1: $63m
2: $109m
3: $96m
4: $208m
5: $420m
6: $550m

Where is the audience going to come from this time? I think the exchange rate will kill it from growing.

Exchange rate fluctuations totally ruin making comparisons regarding international BO over different years. Really only ticket sales or results in local currency tell a true story of each films success.

That said - I think it should grow both domestically and internationally due to the Walker factor.

$600m INTL + $270m Domestic = $850m WW

lol, like it helped Brick Mansions? and Hours?

Note: China don't give a shit about Paul Walker. They probably don't even know he's dead.

WOKJ Best Poster of the Year doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't need to improve. Math needs to improve. ;)

I think it will help a little for this franchise seeing that he's been a big part of it and still part of this film.

And yeah China would have no idea. Whites all look the same anyway :thumbsup:

Brick Mansions actually made $29.84 million in China - nearly 50% more than its U.S. gross. So they probably give some sort of shit about Paul Walker.

Post subject:  Re: Furious 7 (INTL)

Yeah, and I knew someone would say that. But it had nothing to do with Paul Walker. $29m is nothing in China. Most American, moderately good-looking action films can get that. It only looks like such an astonishing hit because it totally flunked in the US.

Germany opening day:

230,000 F&F6

(Admissions)

I heard F7 will make 1B+ Yuan in China and it already broke OD record in Thailand. I am sure growth is asia will be HUGE. Plus it has shown good numbers almost everywhere. So I think 600M OS is possible despite horrible exchange rates.

There isn't a young person in China that won't see Furious 7, so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't make one billion in China.

First 5 days look like 1.5m admissions in Germany, F&F6 did 1.2m admissions in 7 days...

Ah, so The Stathe is also popular in the land of "der Krauts!"

Not much anymore, no. But Fast & Furious is.

Mexico grossed 5.75M USD for its OD. That is 1.6M admissions for just is opening day!!! Record breaking across Latin America and few countries in Asia. Aussies are also on board with 15M+ OW.UK opened to £5.7m!!! :zonks:

That'll be enough for a 3.5 million total at least, I think. Hugely impressive. Doubt Avengers: Age of Ultron can beat that.
