Great for CatCF, it's now at 403.02m worldwide. IMO, 450m is reachable.

Deuce Bigalow 2 no 1 in Oz, every box office analyst is shaking their head. However i thought it seemed about right, comedy is big in Oz.

Wow, Pride & Prejudice has been massive here. It made another $3.5 million in it's 2nd weekend. It opened to $4,565,290

Only dropping $1M from it's 1st weekend. (or £500,000).

Brilliant, another big UK hit for KEIRA.

That means guy ritchie's REVOLVER isn't Number 1.

REVOLVER and LAND OF THE DEAD could still be inside the top 3.

Anyone knows what's the current status of RotS in Japan?

And perhaps weekend takings (1st to current)?

In the weekend of 17-18 September, ROTS was number 10 in Japan. Up to date, it has made $81,630,497. I think this will be its last week in the top 10.

BOM

So ROTS will fall quite short of the $100m that a lot were predicting. It probably won't even match ROTK there. I certainly wouldn't have thought that, after what TPM and AOTC made there...

disapointing especally after such a robust opening,

Perdictions of $110-130 mil in Japan for ROTS that some people were making seemed way high to me, though I do think ROTS momentum was hurt by the two earthquakes in Japan.

Just though i put things into perspective.....

WALLACE & GROMIT: Curse of the Were-Rabbit



Wallace & Gromit's opening weekend in the UK was the 2nd largest of 2005 ($16,559,973), behind only ROTS $27,501,871. As expected however; with kids still in school, mid-week business was quite average......falling behind both Charlie and War of the Worlds.

Good weekend drops are assured, with hardly any competition from now until Harry Potter 4, it could eventually kick up $60m.

That's an excellent result for CatCf, especially after its mediocre opening. But is it common in France to have a multiplier under 3 (Like WotW)?

And thanks for the charts Arch, they're really useful.

Million Dollar Baby - 7.3x
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory - 7.2x
Madagascar - 5.5x
Brice de Nice - 5.2x
Mr. And Mrs. Smith - 3.3x
War of the Worlds - 2.6x
ROTS - 2.2x

---

Titanic - 17.16x
Finding Nemo - 7.7x
Star Wars 1: PM - 5x
Shrek 2 - 4.8x
HP1 - 4.7x
The Incredibles - 4.45x
LOTR: FOTR - 4.22x
LOTR: TTT - 4.1x
HP2 - 3.95x
Star Wars 2: AOTC - 3.8x
LOTR: ROTK - 3.4x
A Very Long Engagement - 3.3x
Spiderman 2 - 2.86x
Matrix: Reloaded - 2.85x
HP3 - 2.76x
Matrix: Revolutions - 2.26x

Multipliers around 3x are quite common nowadays for some of the bigger blockbusters.......unless you are a kiddie flick like Charlie or Harry Potter (though HP3 had a dismal multiplier) or a CGI smash like Nemo or Shrek 2...don't expect a multiplier more than 4x

My predictions for France this year:

* Legend of Zorro - with an opening like this, it could eventually match the original's $22.7m total
* Star Wars 3 was the first movie to pass $20m on opening weekend ($22m for the regular 5-Day frame), Expect Harry Potter 4 to be the second and improve on HP3's $17.1m.
* Narnia arrives a week after King Kong, it will dominate the Christmas season.

Harry Potter 4 - $21m/$51m
Narnia - $9m/$48m
King Kong - $10m/$30m
Chicken Little - $4m/$25m
Legend of Zorro - $5.8m/$20m

Yahoo! Movies



Great for Zorro. 200m worldwide is likely right now.

"Fightplan" is going to rock Spain this next weekend. There is nothing big out there (just Zorro on its third weekend), the ads have been playing everywhere for the last two weeks like crazy, and every magazine you open has a Jodie Foster interview in it... And Jodie is huge in Spain. The title has also been changed to "Fightplan: Missing" and the TV ads only say "Missing", so if you needed any help, you get a prefect idea of the film´s concept...

I see no less than $3 Million opening weekend... and maybe close to $4M.

WALLACE & GROMIT: Curse of the Were-Rabbit



United Kingdom: Week 4

1 - Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit - $21,113,166 (501 TC)
2 - Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit - $39,191,057 ($18,077,891, -15%)
3 - Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit - $47,849,290 ($8,658,233, -52%)

Another appalling drop, Wallace should finish with $60-62m, shy of Charlie's $67m. Harry Potter 4 hits this coming weekend, though there's no Chicken Little to worry about - since that movie will be launched in Feb 2006.

Great for Flightplan, which still hasn't opened in the UK. Also bigger than expected for In Her Shoes in the UK.
Nanny McPhee held its top spot for the second week, not the fourth, its in its 4th week of release (it climbed to #1 in its 3rd weekend) and dropped around 19% this weekend.

Go Flightplan!!! Awesome.

Nice start for EXORCISM.


Friday 25th, November will be interesting....FLIGHTPLAN and EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE go head to head both opening in the UK at the same time.

FLIGHTPLAN has had more marketing.

KISS KISS, BANG BANG opened well in Australia. It had a higher screen average than FLIGHTPLAN.

Dr. Lecter - have you forgotten about this one Boo......

VOLVER - Italy

Volver has registered solid results in all the European markets it has opened in....Italy is one of its best markets.

It did have very humble beginnings, opening to a lowly $1.3m vs. DVC's $11m...but has seen 2 sucessive weeks of great holds/increases.

It's tracking above Almodovar's previous smash Bad Education and is following the same path as Non Ti Mouvre. Mouvre lasted for 14 weeks inside the Top 20 (quite rare in monster-drop Italy) and finished with a fantastic $10m. For a non-english blockbuster, that's very good.

Volver looks to surpass that mark....audiences are flocking to this movie after they've had their Da Vinci dose...
