The most influential popular magazine for French intellectuals (the kind of magazine some love and some others love to hate), Telerama, published the review of Spectre.
It gave 5 stars to CR. 3 stars to QOS. 4 stars to SF (stars rating are converted from the text by the "French RT")
For SPECTRE, it gave
Actually when reading the text, the magazine is divided : they published one critic in favour, and one against.
1 - Kinepolis de Lomme = 3 122
2 - Gaumont Wilson (Toulouse) = 2 136
3 - Gaumont de Rennes = 1 881
4 - UGC Bercy = 1 879
5 - Gaumont Carré-Sénart = 1 857
6 - Grand Rex = 1 856
7 - Pathé Chavant (Grenoble) = 1 832
8 - UGC La Défense = 1 755
9 - Pathé Belle Epine = 1 712
10 - Gaumont Labège = 1 705
Legs. Openings don't mean shit.
And well-deserved. "Jurassic Park" got way way too much credit box office wise....
Opening day in South Korea............admissions high, but slightly less than those for SF.
One thing that is going against SP, is the current exchange rates from local currencies into dollars. The rate dropped towards the end of last week, meaning the film was robbed of a few million dollars!
EON is a British company I'd guess. The British Pound will apply I think and not the USD.
Total now after 5 days = $83,041,709
Ummm.......it is actually dollars, as all BO earnings are counted in $US.......as obviously the film world has its base in Hollywood!
An example of the drop in exchange rates..........initially on Sunday night SP's UK BO performance was calculated to be the equivalent of just over $100 mil, but now with the latest rates, this figure has gone down to somewhere around $98 mil!
That's very good indeed. "Skyfall" earned $7,215,854 on the same Tuesday, though that was after a Monday-Holiday. Anyone knows why the box office went up? Probably holiday on Wednesday in the US no?
Yes.......there is a Veterans day holiday on Weds...........so the gross for SP should be even higher than Tuesdays.
Today was a national holiday in France, wasn't it? I think that might boost the BO for yesterday evening.
SP had the 2nd highest number of admissions of all-time, for its opening in Paris.
Only Spiderman 3 has had more!
They can. Weaker opening and 'The Force Awakens' slowly approaching equates to SP reaching nowhere near $1.8 billion. If that happens, I'll eat my own hat.
i.e. Only a selection of non-Chinese films are allowed to play in that country, though it does appear to me, that more and more Hollywood films are playing in China these days.......but even then the films are restricted to a 4 week run only..........and on top of that the Hollywood studios, only receive back 25% of the films takings in that market!
Anyway, here's hoping SP makes a shed load of money in China. :)
1.8 billion..........sorry no chance of that! :))
Meanwhile 'The Peanuts Movie' or 'Snoopy' as its called in China is doing very poorly, apparently the Chinese know jack s**t about this character, and are just not interested in it.
Stick to holiday TV specials. I don't even think Peanuts is even relevant anymore.
Peanuts shouldn't be a factor in China. Regardless, SP's China gross is unlikely to come in over $100m to $115m on the top end I would think. I'd be surprised if it exceeds this.....pleasantly surprised.
SP is trending 25% below SF at the moment (to date) which translates into $200m to $225m gross stateside, if the %'s hold (it is expected to drop around 50% next weekend, which is better than SF's drop, but off a much smaller opening number last weekend).
I think it will drop a little more on weekend 3 (% wise) compared to SF, so we likely will end up with about $180m to $190m overall gross (it would be great if it could exceed that but it will need a miracle).
Yes.........i only mentioned 'Peanuts', just to show how films in different cultures perform, and not as in competition for SP.
........and, as you have mentioned, $200-225 mil looks like the more likely North American BO for SP. The film needs to make as much dosh as it can at the present, while the market place is relatively quiet!.......this coming weekend is a very good opportunity.
Would be cool if Spectre did some crazy money like "Furious 7" did.
That movie did $400 million in China alone.
You should feel happy with whatever figure comes out of China. And not make it sound like it is 'Peanuts' :-). And don't forget there were quite a few poor performers in China.
