I'm wondering if it can do $130+ million...yeah... That'd probably put its overseas number at $400 million or so already.

100m+ is an easy lock. Almost every blockbuster that has opened in nearly every market the first or second week have delivered a 2nd weekend over $100m.

It be pretty fucking cool if it comes within 10m of it's first wknd gross.

INTERNATIONAL - Largest Weekends

Needs to take down Transformers $165.4m to get the 2nd weekend crown. T2 of course, expanded and had a shitload of new openings. Same goes for the next one down, Matrix Reloaded, which expanded into some major European markets.

The first comparable standard is Pirates 3 which dropped from $216m to $103m, Ice Age 3 from $151m to $102m and 2012 from $165.2m to $100.5m.

week 1 for tf2 was just 2 markets( uk and japan). i would not call 2nd weekend a "hold".

2nd wknd record = decimated.

This is why it can get fuzzy when trying to compare 1st, 2nd, 3rd international weekends. There are films that had a more gradual rollout, like DMC/TDK, and others which opened in a handful of markets a week or two before really unleashing.

Definately, which makes international BO tracking a bastard though extremely interesting. LOL

Looks like after two good days in Poland, Avatar looks like it going to explode today.

OW over 300k adm looks more likely and that would give $2.5M OW. The WOM is just fantastic. And since it's the best time for Box Office in Poland ( between Christmas and Easter ) I think that $16M+ total shouldn't be a problem. ( My prediction is more like 20M+ but I will play it safely for now )

That should give it a Top 10 opening in Poland in US$. It will need $2.7m to land inside the Top 5.

$16m+ would be among the Top 5 highest grossing pics ever in US$. The only movies i know to gross this much is Lejdis ($18.2m) and Shrek 3 ($17.8m).

If it wasn't for currency exchange this years numbers would be much better. Ice Age 3 with last year's currency exchange would have made 18.5M $, Madagascar 2 would have made $16M. It's a little bit better now but I'm sure that with last years currency exchange I would predict 23M+ for Avatar ( and tha's with the same no. of adm.)

This year Polish Box Office has boomed. Ticket prices went up a little bit and still number of tickets sold went up by 13.5% ( not counting Avatar numbers ) and it's already at 38M. That's 4.2M more tickets then last years record .

What's the Top 5 for this year in admissions and US$/?

Top 7 in adm.
1. Madagascar 2 - 2.2M adm. - 12M $
2. Ice Age 3 - 2M adm. - 14M $
3. 2012 - 1.5M+ adm. - 10M $
4. Kochaj i Tancz - 1.35M adm - 6.5M $
5. Popieluszko - 1.35M adm - 4.7M $
6. Harry Potter 6 - 1.15M adm - 6.4M $
7. Angels& Demons - 1.05M adm - 5.8M $

As you can see currency exchange messed up the charts. For example UP made 6M $ but had 900k adm.

How does this factor into the all-time charts, i haven't been focusing on Poland for a while now.

I have as the Top 20...

1) Ogniem i mieczem - 7,150,692 adms,
2) Pan Tadeusz - 6,166,651 adms.
3) Quo vadis - 4,297,716 adms.
4) Titanic - 3,513,480 adms.
5) The Passion of the Christ - 3.451.908 adms.
6) Shrek 2 - 3.390.922 adms.
7) Shrek 3 – 3,316,958 adms. (12) - OUT
8) Jurassic Park - 2,740,000 adms.
9) The Lion King - 2,720,000 adms.
10) Katyn (2007) - 2,697,996 adms. (10) - OUT

11) Lord Of The Rings: FOTR - 2,522,462 adms.
12) Harry Potter 1: PS - 2,510,368 adms.
13) W pustyni i w puszczy - 2,221,215 adms.
14) Killer - 2,200,000 adms.
15) Lord Of The Rings: ROTK - 2.089.415 adms.
16) Zemsta - 1,958,956 adms.
17) Ice Age 2: The Meltdown –1,946,964
18) Pope John Paul II – 1,913,155 adms.
19) Storia di Carlo – 1,878,124 adms.
20) Lord Of The Rings: TTT - 1,783,749 adms.

I'll send you a PM.

Thanks, the Shrek franchise is huge here. I wonder if Shrek 4 can continue the 3m+ run the previous two movies had.

Titanic is still the foreign release champion, though Passion of the Christ wasn't too far off.

I'm pretty sure that Shrek 4 will make 3M+adm

It's Shrek of course it will.

Shit, god no

the more u hate the Shrek the bigger it gets
love the Shrek. embrace the Shrek.

Box Office Mojo just updated it's numbers... 402 million internationally for a worldwide cume of 615 million

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=avatar.htm

Holy shit. A $145m 2nd weekend, down just -12% from last weekend?

http://www.ercboxoffice.com/index.php?s ... ews_id=234

Impressive. So it's up there with the record holders HBP and AWE after two weekends (about $400m) but being much more backloaded.

outstanding, 600m in two wks with awards season on the way.......

As always international numbers will be higher when the actual number are reported on Tuesday
