World wide gross?
We know Astro Boy didn't perform quite as we wished it would in the US but what was the worldwide gross for the movie? I know it was number 1 in China and I've been told it was "Well received" in Australia and Canada but does anyone have any exact numbers? I've been searching but was unable to find anything

Oh DVD/Blu Ray/soundtrack/vid game sales will definitely have an impact. Hot Toys has a couple of beautiful looking figures coming out too.
What I'm curious about is if they'll note the effect the movie has on the franchise in general. I may be outside the norm, but personally I'm collecting all three of the previous series (60's, 80's, 2003) because of these movies. So I hope that counts.

Astro Boy world wide total 1st weekend $11,587,281
Production budget: 65 million.
Breakdown of review grades...
As: 86 66.7%
Bs: 22 17.1%
Cs: 5 3.9%
Ds: 4 3.1%
Fs: 12 9.3%
So it seems Astro is doing quite well in the foreign markets. I bet Imagi will get back its 65 million investment, perhaps building a nice war chest for other concept movies in the works.
I would make them one suggestion though....forget Gatchaman, that product is a failure in the making.

According to industry estimates, since opening on Friday (October 23) on approximately 1,100 screens across China, Astro Boy has recorded approximately RMB40 million in box office receipts, topping the weekend box office chart and setting a new mark for the opening weekend box office of a CG-animated feature film in the Mainland. That record was previously held by Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs with an opening gross of RMB30 million.

Gatchaman is going to only appeal to overseas markets, or a pocket demographic of older english fans (something the harsher critics have said about Astro Boy, if not for the various generational reboots). I've noticed there's a lot more internet attention going to T28, but they're probably too far into the Gatchaman movie to stop now.
