    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

FastX... Who is propping that movie up?

Is it Saudi Arabia and their love of fast cars?

Top 5 regions for Fast X:

$145M from USA/Canada - 20% right there

$139M from China - another approximately 20%

$37M from Mexico

$27M from Brazil

$27M from Japan

It only made $6M in Saudia Arabia.

So if you break USA/Canada apart it's really China dragging it over the goal.

[–] ClarkZuckerberg 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Canada is 1/10th the USA's population, so if we assume they make-up 1/10th of their box office that's about $15M so it's $130M from the USA vs China at $139M. Definitely those two countries carried the load.

Canada the little sister just happy to be invited.

This is why we can't have nice things. Only 1 movie in the top 10 not from a preestablished franchise.

Oppenheimer, Taylor swift, sounds of freedom, and elementals.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends 14 points 1 year ago

Oppenheimer is part of the WW2 extended universe though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I would count Taylor Swift as a franchise.
