Re: 2017 WW BO Top 10
Beauty and the Beast should top that list at the end of its first week?

Re: 2017 WW BO Top 10
I wonder if we will see a Chinese movie in WW Top 10 total this year. Last year The Mermaid ended inside Top 15 (#14).

Re: 2017 WW BO Top 10
I believe very soon the domestic box office grosser for China will be bigger than that of USA. So this year could see a bigger surprise like $700m-$800m grosser from China which should be enough to put it in this list.

Re: 2017 WW BO Top 10
I don't like the "America first" guidelines established by BOM...
THE GREAT WALL, YOUR NAME and RESIDENT EVIL are all 2016 releases AND made most of their money overseas, but are counted as 2017 releases just because they opened domestically in 2017. And everyone accepts this because that's how BOM does it...

However, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter only came out in one market in 2016. I'd be inclined to label that a 2017 release. Your Name. is obviously a 2016 release.

Re: 2017 WW BO Top 10
I am still not used to seeing YN, RE and TGW in 2017's list. Can we have them separately like I did last year?
I wonder if BatB will be big enough to stay above Fate, its surely crossing $1.2b at the current pace and Fate could stall earlier specially with low domestic returns and frontloading in China.

In my updates for this thread, I am using Box Office Mojo as my source and will continue posting their unaltered numbers. Worldwide box office will always have this problem because many movie's releases across mulitiple countries will straddle calendar years. Any representation of WW box office will be an artificial construction to some extent. If it's any consolation, the three movies you're concerned about will soon drop out of the top ten.

Re: 2017 WW BO Top 10
Well, they didn't con/force people into the cinema. Of course they deserve the money they earned, especially The Great Wall, which is a refreshing and original $150m production.

Re: 2017 WW BO Top 10
I am not sure that will happen. Japan is the market where both movies will be making most of their money soon and BatB will surely make more there. Domestically I see both movies making the same from here on.

Re: 2017 WW BO Top 10
So FF7 held really well domestically but it couldn't match BatB's WW numbers over the weekend. I think it will be close but no cigars for it. BatB should stay at #1 possibly entire year till SW8 eventually takes over.
