I'll be heading to see The Revenant this week.

I will offset the ticket in box office terms by going to see Star Wars again next week.

I read something briefly that said SW opened in China to record breaking numbers... over $50 million opening weekend.

Also that it is approaching 1 Billion overseas... the crazy part was about how it either just did or is just about to pass Transformers Age of Extinction. Optimus Prime riding a Dinobot in the trailer = $$$

freaking Avatar and Titanic (why???) were monsters overseas. Insane %'s, 73% and 70% of the total.

Well... that does sound pretty badass when you put it that way.

very interesting graph.

you can see it will never match Avatar longterm....even with China which which looks like it gave it a little upward boost in the last week.

Furious 7 is mind boggling on there...how it ever had that kind of appeal baffles me. it was running well above Avatar for 30 days or so. crazy.

just goes to prove there are some movies that are more appealing to US...and some more to the rest of the world. There is a correlation but it is not direct or linear.....

Avatar and Furious 7 much more appealing worldwide.
SW much more a US thing.

we saw Revenent on sunday night. walking in to the theater, two guys were also going to see revenent, but were complaining that the only reason they were seeing it was b/c star wars was sold out.

I suspect they will do a "limited time in theaters" and people will come back out to see it.

I wish they'd do a proper theatrical re-release of all the movies, which they started when they released TPM in 3D and never finished.

The OT in 3D would make a solid $20M each, imo.

Yes, the film seems to be falling faster than expected in China. Following a $33 million opening day, on a Saturday, the film plunged 35% to $20.7m on Sunday and then dropped another 65% on Monday for a $7.2m gross. It dropped 17% on Tuesday for a $6m gross and a new $66m four-day total. Disney was able to sell the debut as the biggest Saturday-Sunday opening of all time because basically no major blockbuster had ever opened on a Saturday before.

According to China Insider, younger Chinese moviegoers aren't quite getting into it, and the reviews and word-of-mouth are closer to Spectre than to Furious 7. At this rate of descent, it's looking like the Walt Disney blockbuster will "only" make around $150m during its theatrical run.

Catching Avatar is pretty much out of the question at this point, but overtaking Titanic is definitely still on the table.

This boggles my mind. It's been out for almost a month, and showings are still selling out.

The big opening weekend in China wasn't all that big. It was 20th best and is being such huge hits as Transformers 3, Terminator: Genisys, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Transformers: Age of Extinction, & Furious 7.

China's policies screwed Star Wars. By the time the movie was out, bootlegs and spoilers were the norm, not the exception.

Take a look at my graph above. We'll be seeing the "step effect" come into play that is really pronounced on Titanic and Avatar. The weekdays will be small but I think we'll see significant spikes on the weekends.

Should still have a solid $25M+ weekend coming up here with MLK Day.

With Chinese New Year coming maybe they'll flock to theaters?

Lame.

When are they going to pull this from theaters?

JW was doing a few hundred thou before they pulled it.

Hopefully that was sarcasm.

Avengers did $3.2 on the same day in its cycle and it still made another $100M.

Tuesdays are probably the ****tiest day of the week.

This number doesn't surprise me.
Brian Earl Spilner

Guys, this is not a bad number. It's almost a $1M increase from yesterday.
