‘Pacific Rim’ #1 Internationally Over Weekend

By NIKKI FINKE, Editor in Chief | Monday July 22, 2013 @ 6:25pm PDT

EXCLUSIVE:
Warner Bros has bragging rights today for distributing the Legendary Pictures 3D scifi actioner around the world after co-financing it. I’ve learned the studio discovered this morning that last weekend’s results came in $500K higher than forecast on Sunday.
The result is that screenwriter Travis Beacham (who had the idea for the film) and co-scribe/director Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim grossed $35.3M with 4.7M admissions from 9,610 screens in 50 territories. That was just enough to knock off Universal’s 3D toon Despicable Me 2 and become the #1 film internationally over the weekend now that all the numbers are in. No one is saying this movie is going to turn a profit due to its high cost Industrial Light & Magic CGI. But international is a big part of Pacific Rim‘s strategy in a crowded summer marketplace.

This brings the expensive $180M-$220M budget pic’s international cume to $110.9M and its worldwide total to $178.5M. Unfortunately, U.S. theatrical sales are not expected to exceed $100M all in so overseas coin is crucial. As I’ve said before, while a major studio might be disappointed with Pacific Rim‘s domestic gross, Legendary’s mega-financier Thomas Tull may have the luxury of mining this marginal outcome into a franchise.

Foreign territories for Pacific Rim opening last weekend included France, Germany, Hong Kong, and Holland. The movie already has debuted in major markets Russia, Korea, Mexico, UK, Australia, and Italy. Upcoming releases include July 31st for China, Spain, Japan, and August 9th for Brazil.

I'm pretty sure once it will make a lot of money once it opens in Japan, Spain and China.

It's a great book. I'm not surprised to see that it's selling well.

Hope it continues to do well internationally.

Wanted to use my points to get the book. But that's cool, I blew them out on something else. I'll prolly see this in IMAX on Thursday.

Nice to see they are looking for getting established > home run.

This franchise has a lot of potential.

So it looks like it will make its money back through the worldwide theatrical release and then start making a little profit when it hits video.

I was finally able to see this yesterday-- It lived up to my expectations. Great film.

Well, the marketing budget is probably $100 million, so adding that on top means it's got a ways to go, it's possible China and Japan can add a lot, I think we could get $20 million from them each, but it could go crazy and be a lot more. I'm wondering if this is a type of movie that appeals more to them than the U.S. so we'll see.

 

[Kuzeh]

Watching it tonight again! !

 

[furystorm]

Sicko!

I was talked into The Conjuring tonight instead. But I'll prolly see this again tomorrow, finally. Can't believe it's been two weeks already. I'm very ready to see this again!

 

[greygoose]

Watching it tonight again! !

How many times is that for you now?

 

[Kuzeh]

Five!

Planning on at least 2-3 more

 

[furystorm]

I was gonna shoot for ten, because of my free hookup, but after being so busy traveling the past two weeks, I may only make five...

Eventually.
