xiayun, do you know how many admissions TITANIC had in its 1st release?

On Wednesday, Battleship debuted in China to $3 million, the best opening day ever for a Universal title there, but Titanic led with roughly $4.8 million.

18mio!

Correct.

Looks like around $45m for the second week.

That's a great hold right?

That makes $170 million extremely likely.

Probably not going to call it a great hold, but it'd be a pretty good hold. It didn't get any favor in terms of screen distribution after Battleship and then Ghost Rider 2 opened.

A little higher than expected drop still that is a good number for second week.....and we are always talking about a re-release here

Official estimates:
42.6M second week (4.16~4.22), 116M+ total.

04/16 - 04/22:

1. Titanic 3D（泰坦尼克号）- 270m ($42.80m) -42.3% 104,127 6,042,972 738m ($117.02m)

10. Wrath of the Titans（诸神之怒）- 1.14m ($0.18m) -88.0% 3,175 27,384 165.04m ($26.19m)

Hollywood films are dominating the market, and that's unlikely to change going into May.

So this means it should be on track for about 300 internationally. Does it have an outside chance of doing 400 WW?

^ I don't think so.

So what do you think Doc? 350-375?

Around $340-360 million worldwide.

I'm thinking 165 China
130 rest of the international markets
65 in NA.

360 total

Yeah $400m WW looks out of question still $350 WW is great.

I think anything at this point is great for Titanatar. 300 mill for a rerelease is fantastic.

Current schedule of Hollywood films for May:

5/5 - The Avengers
5/18 - The Grey
5/25 - MIB3
5/30 - Hugo

Titanic's week-to-week drop so far is a little more than 50%, so probably $20m this week.

So what is your new projection Xia? 155-160?

Actually I forgot about the weird holiday schedule around May 1st, where people will have to work over the weekend but get days off from Monday to Wednesday, so it won't get close to $20m this week but will see a very good hold next week until The Avengers opens. Think $155m sounds about right.

Whats TA chances in China??

IM2 did horrible..

150-155 is simply stunning. We can't look at it and think its disappointing just because numbers like 170 was thrown around. 155 mill is Transformers 3 territory. That's ridiculous.

We're unlikely to get actuals for last week until Thursday the earliest due to May Day holiday.

As for The Avengers, I do have faith in it doing well.
