Still a bit of green in those updates, continuing to defy the "each week is lower performance" doctrine.

I'll try to add in some totals later.

Wouldn't it be great if Angel Studios got off of its ass and did some reporting?

No new or changed figures for the rest of the day, so I added in some totals.

This does not include unreported data for Mexico or Latin America except Colombia. Colombia had a 20% drop on it's 2nd weekend, and a 31% drop for the 3rd weekend. (meaning last week was 38.4% of the take from first 11 days. So about $6.3M might be the unreported amount).

Serbia updated last Sat night, so it might still by tomorrow.

Talk To Me's Domestic weekend is the only movie on the list that is still projections and not actual numbers, and it's after 7PM on Monday.

TTM is from UK, and they have never updated Friday through Thurs until the next Thurs/Fri. Their green projection numbers stay that way until then. Every week. I expect their update on Thurs or Fri.

No. They don't. There's been little rhyme or reason to how Talk To Me's numbers have been reported since the beginning, sometimes not updating for at least as long as we've waited for an update from SoF right now. But any "pattern" that you think you've witnessed is just imagined here.

Yeah. And they've gone two weeks without any updates like SoF too.

So they happened to repeat something two weeks in a row. Big deal.


Is somebody going to ever explain to us why BOM still shows more than $4 Million more internationally than the-numbers does for TTM?

Nothing at all makes sense in box office tracking for going on 3 weeks now. Given that the box office is shit this time of year and the movies we're looking at are doing even less business than that, everybody should be up to date right now.

I have "targets" that I expect from International, due to various factors. These are a reminder for me. They are likely to be wrong.

$14 M for UK
$7 M for Mexico, Australia, Brazil
$5 M for Peru
$3 M from NZ, Colombia, Argentina

These add up to $49 M. If they make half of that, plus another $4M from the rest of the world, then that would be $29M, and SoF would pass by Megan's 1505%.

I am not sure about some releases. Which countries are English speaking? I'll conjure that Spanish speaking countries will get a dubbed version of the film. Some countries with other languages, I don't know if they are being dubbed, or just released as "Foreign Language" film, like in art houses.

Updates from Bruce for International, plus BOM International are incomplete, missing, or conflict.

Let's see.
Mexico passed $7M before it's 2nd weekend ended, in 11 days. Check.
Colombia passed $3M in it's 3rd weekend. Check.
Argentina made about $1.8M in it's first 11 days, which is more than half of target, as mentioned. Still likely to pass $3M. Check.
Peru passed $1.7M in the first 11 days. No reason to not get to $2.5M - the mentioned half of target. Check.
Australia likely passed $3M over this weekend, it's 5th weekend. The Woke is strong here, but it might still make $3.5M - the mentioned half of target.
After 4 weekends, NZ has 25% of it's target. On the strength of Woke, this is a miss.
After 3 weekends, UK has 30% of it's target. On the strength of Woke, this is a miss.

Brazil opened this weekend.
BoxOfficeMojo is listing more than $29M of International Box Office. Check.

Yeah... I said you were way off base there in August when you said those numbers.

Latin America was always going to be what could bump SoF to #1 this year.

Europe/Australia/South Africa is a bunch of brainwashed self-hating Lefty shitheels like more than half of Canada and about 40% of this country is today.

The only X Factor I really saw outside of Latin America was Russia, but I wasn't surprised when it didn't do well there either. Honestly, given current foreign relations, I'm surprised it was even shown there at all.


It's going to do quite better in all the Latin American countries than you predicted. It's going to do quite a bit less than half of what you predicted in European countries, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. UK, being just about the worst European country in current year, is not going to even do 25% of what you predicted it would.

Nah. $2.216 Million is only 15.82% of your target $14 Million.

I was going to say it's not even going to make 20% of that, which it probably won't, but maybe it hangs on there for a while longer.

Another Monday come and gone and zero updates for SoF or TTM.

I wonder if anybody could contact Angel Studios and A24 directly and get more information, because Bruce and BOM have officially dropped the ball here.

Today Bruce updated Australia, NZ, Mexico. Total again remained unchanged, since 12 Sept. The first 2 early in the day, and Mexico sometime in afternoon or evening.
Mexico actually did better than the 38% factor that Colombia did.
Australia had a bunch of improved performance.

I'll update Mexico when BOM posts the update.
Nothing new today at BOM.
I expect Mexico to update at BOM tomorrow, possibly late at night. Might also get all of the other Latin America countries. Some countries only update every 2 weeks. These all updated on 12 Sept.

Updating:

Sound of Freedom International Box Office.


I think I need to start a new table for this. Data is hard to come by, is not transparent, and seems to fluctuate a bunch. I will need to use Box Office Mojo for source data, and work from there. If other data becomes available, I will try to reconcile that.

Legend:
Each nation's entry is comprised of 2 lines.
In the first Identifier places, the order is by the stated Release Date. Next is the Country Abbreviation.
In the line below that, the Maximum number of theaters I could find for a film in that country. Then the day which they start their weekend, according to their Box Office Results. This is either Thursday or Friday.
The remainder of the columns have weekday figures in the top line, and weekend figures in the 2nd line, plus the subtotals.
The column labeled Date Range has the range of dates for those figures.
Next column is Box Office for those dates.
Next is the Rank of that Box Office figure.
Next is Theater Count.
Next is $ per Theater Average.
Next is the Rank of the $ per Theater figure.
Next is the Total, for weekdays only.
Next is the 7 Day Totals, which is both lines added together.
Next is the Rank of that 7 Day Total Box Office (when available, or calculated).
Next is the Cumulative Total for that Country.

Then are selected figures from the Prior week, to reference for comparison.

Data is culled from Box Office Mojo. Countries with Asterisks are using data from The Numbers - mostly because that data is not available on BOM.

Fields highlighted green are values greater than the prior week. Box Office, rank, theater count, $ per theater, rank, weekly total or subtotal.
Figures highlighted red are intended to be placeholders for fields which are waiting for updated or current data.
