Zeg Martín? Kom nu maar op met je bronnen ;-).
Fata Morgana bron zeker? haha:-)
Great choice of words.
Can't speak for the US, but the Hunger Games doesn't have quite the traction in the UK. I think it does well opening weekends and the then tails off. I certainly don't recall any entry coming close to a DC film over here and in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if DAD had an equal, if not better box office haul in the UK. A quick google confirms the last Hunger Games sits behind The Lego Movie, The Inbetweeners movie and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes at the 2014 BO. Just seems the appetite is not quite there in the UK.
I agree about the UK/overseas absolutely @RC7 - Like Bond is known to be absolutely massive overseas and unusually low traction for a film of that scale in the U.S., the inverse applies to Hunger Games, which is absolutely massive in the US but traction in overseas markets isn't there.
Checking Box Office Mojo - 72.5% of Skyfall's total boxoffice came from outside the U.S., which above average for a blockbuster release like this (normally it's 60-65%), while for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the split is 49% from the U.S., 51% from overseas markets, which is well below average.
But speaking of trailer views though - like I said, it will be a very close match between the two films...Lionsgate have been building up hype for Thursday's trailer release since last week...
Your man seems to have an overdeveloped sense of, shall we say drama, MartinBond.
