Umm, no it didn't. It did very well in the US. I agree with everything else you wrote, though.

OK, I looked at the BO data for TLS, and while I admit that I was incorrect in saying that it tanked, it still underperformed a little bit. It cost $140 million, but it only grossed $111m in North America. It made three times as much OS as it did domestically, and it made more in Japan than it did in the States.

I don't know how much of its soft domestic performance was due to lukewarm reception, and how much was it had less than two weeks before Return of the King opened. It was much more fortunate in Japan, where it opened on December 6, and ROTK didn't open until February. TLS opened the same weekend as Finding Nemo, but ended up holding better, and after it took #1 from Nemo, it stayed there until ROTK knocked it off.

According to Corpse's Japanese BO data, there has not been a single American import in the last decade that has sold more tickets than TLS. The closest are HP3 and Avatar - besides those three, no other American film in the last 10 years has crossed the 10-million-tickets mark in Japan.

Point is, The Last Samurai is the big exception to the rule that the Japanese won't watch blatant American attempts to appeal to them. And 47 Ronin also feels to me like it's going to lay an egg domestically, so unless it miraculously takes off in some place like China or Russia, it could well be a worldwide flop on the level of The Lone Ranger.

Budgets don't apply to just one country, you know. It cost $140m, and made $111m from one country. That's not an underperformance, no matter how you cut it.

Ender's Game is at 27 million. The domestic gross of 61 million actually seems semi-respectable compared to the overseas performance.

Sure, it still has major markets left, and will eventually do a bit more than domestically, but all in all it's really weak worldwide performance.

For Ender's Game, its domestic and overseas grosses are both shit. Total shit.

Must say I was not expecting this to be the top 10 for 2013 in the Netherlands:

1. Despicable Me 2 (914.893 visitors)
2. The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug (777.553 visitors)
3. Verliefd op Ibiza (714.853 visitors)
4. De Nieuwe Wildernis (688.158 visitors)
5. The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire (682.136 visitors)
6. The Smurfs 2 (627.635 visitors)
7. Fast & The Furious 6 (624.055 visitors)
8. The Hangover 3 (614.805 visitors)
9. Frozen (515.428 visitors)
10. Iron Man 3 (436.509 visitors)

Not sure what the top 10 in euros is, all I know is that The Hobbit is #1 there.

Mark, when's the "Die erfolgreichsten Filme 2013 in 40 Ländern" list on Inside Kino being updated? :P

Can you find out more admission numbers for The Netherlands? I'd like to know Escape Plan's total if you can get it. It did EUR 1.34m at the last check.

The most I can find right now is the top 20 ranked by total gross in 2013, which has the admission numbers as well, and the top 10 art house films ranked by gross (also with admissions).

Escape Plan's admissions will be available once they've updated the top 1000 of all time with all the films released up to December 31st 2013, but that won't be till March. Looks like it had between 165.000 and 175.000 admissions based on those numbers, which isn't terrible.

Yeah, it did respectable numbers, like most Stallone movies in The Netherlands.

So surprising that IM3 will be the biggest OS movie yet it topped in so few markets.

There's that, and also the fact that it's an American comedy. On the whole, they don't translate well overseas.

It comes out on 20th March. The Netherlands often goes out to see Stallone movies, so I expect it to do better than it has done in other places.
