Hard to tell. I highly doubt it will top Lilo & Stitch's worldwide gross of $273,000,000, but it could come close to its domestic gross of $145,000,000. It might even surpass it. Chicken Little is still running relatively strong, so I wouldn't be surprised.isaac15 wrote:yes way to go disney. chicken little is stell doing preety good at the box office. do you think it is going to make more than lilo and stitch.
I don't think that's the case at all. In fact Brother Bear and Treasure Planet did far better in Europe than in the States.Kenai wrote:How ironic that it's being released in the United Kingdom last. I guess cuz the last couple of Disney animated movies haven't done well there.
Am I right?
Well that box office link Timon/Pumba fan posted (see below) seems to say that it has only made $118M - so maybe that website doesn't count the foreign take?Kenai wrote:Actually this week it made an additional 7.4 million in worldwide sales, bringing the overseas box office to 25 million. Still doing very good in Mexico despite Harry Potter being out. And apparently, in Spain it managed an reallly well 2.5 million, while in Poland it posted the biggest ever opening for an animated feature. So, so far that brings the worldwide total to approximately 130,739,000.
That's good, and in only it's 24 first days. Mr and Mrs Smith and War of the Worlds were in no ways bombs by any means. And PR1, you forget, it's still got a few weeks in theaters so don't right if off yet. My guess it that it will see it's final bow right before the week on which the Christmas holidays land. Meaning right when King Kong hits the screens. I'm guessing after that, CL will sink to about 990-1,020 theaters and go from there. 
Hmmmm, maybe PR1 was referring to the critics and thought if floped from what they said.Kenai wrote: Only 118 mil?
You guys gotta remember I am "in training," and this is my first time watching box office of anything. I got the (apparently mistaken) impression that War of the Worlds and Mr/Mrs Smith were flops due to lack of media coverage about their success. I realize now that is obviously no way to judge a success of a movie - but at the time with nothing else to go on (didn't know about the Box Office totals website, thanks!) it gives one that impression when you've got nothing else to go on.Kenai wrote:No, BOM doesn't count the worldwide box office for domestic movie box office business. But it does combine it.
Only 118 mil?
Nothing special, we just have different school dates that's all. Instead of having a giant summer holiday like the states, in the UK it is only 6 weeks long. However kids are only at school for 6 weeks at a time, then they have a week's school holiday ( 2 weeks at Christmas and Easter).Kenai wrote:Curious question, what kind of holiday goes in in February when kids get out for a week?
It seems paltry compared to Titanic at over $600 million - did anyone check out the all-time top 100 grossing films at that website? I was astonished that Snow White is on there - my husband wondered if they adjust that list to todays inflation dollars - I dont think they do... it doesn't say on that page if they do or not. You figure if tickets costed like 50 cents back in 1937 then how many tickets would have had to be sold to put Snow White in the league of surpassing total box office for many modern films. But if it is adjusted for inflation, that is a different matter.Kenai wrote:It's worldwide box office, as of this past week's tally put up recently at Box Office Mojo stands at $41,305,000.
It didn't make Lilo & Stitch's money, but hey good for Disney for slowly getting back in the groove.
