I wonder how much it did in Argentina, Pakistan and Georgia.

forget 800 million as the floor, your now up to 900 million.

Should jump past 750 million next weekend.

can the film pull in 100m+ next wknd?????

yeah I meant 750 million BJ...

$1B. We're up to $1B. It's passing $1,000,000,000.

Yeah, the tickets are still too expensive. The cost is in fact similar to U.S, so 40-70 yuan for a regular adult ticket, 100 yuan for 3D, and 130-150 yuan for IMAX, but China's per capital is not on the same planet yet.

Just to think when the market could grow to 50m admissions for a blockbuster film, still 40 yuan per ticket, and the exchange rate appreciates to 4 yuan vs. 1 dollar (as yuan still has a lot more room to appreciate vs. dollar comparing to others, once the government decides to loosen the control), we will be looking at $500m.

Hmm, the weekend was "only" $133m. Midweekdays might have been underestimated.

Fastest to $1 Billion:

Avatar - 17 days
Dead Man's Chest - 63 days
Return of the King - 67 days
Titanic - 73 days
The Dark Knight - 200+ days

Holy shit.

Wow, seriously? That's insane. The fastest prior to Avatar took over 2 months, and Avatar did it in 17 days. That just blows my mind. That's a huge trampling of the record.

Peace,
Mike

beautiful

amazing thing is that it still has 2 big markets china and italy. if they break out like other major markets, we could be looking at 100m from just those 2. holdovers should make another 300-400m worth of business. it should come close to titanic os.

That's 100% disgusting. It's absolutely sick.

Yeah, I dunno if everyone realizes how unprecedented the rate of accumulation for its OS gross really is.

From previous post I've done, weekend intl is a mix of days from 2-5, it depends how local markets report (ie 7 countries report 5 days, 3 report 2 days , rest 3/4days few more report 4 then 3), also the screen count is a mix of prints/screens theatres.
So when any intl weeked results come it will include for eg 5 days from France, 4 Days from Germany, 3 Days from UK, 2 days from Japan.

From above about 10-12 markets reporting 4 days with Avatar, it actually 30 do and about the same for 4 days.

Just look at the title of this thread

$809.1m Worldwide (#23)

It jumped to #4 in what? 4 days?

meh fox is underestimating again. With the actuals it will be $140+M fo sho

1st weekend OW - $158M but turned out to be $165M
2nd weekend - $145M but turned out to be $153M
3rd weekend - $133M but will be between $140-142M when actuals come out

bom as usual is reporting lower numbers.

Domestic: $352,111,000 34.6%
+ Foreign: $666,700,000 65.4%
= Worldwide: $1,018,811,000

no matter, its still over 1b in 17 fuckin days

From above don't for get that with any midweek daily grosses you've seen a small % of Wed and a large % of thursday are in the weekend figures.
