Remember Me: More Than $35 Million Worldwide Box Office
Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me grossed only $483K at 906 theaters in North America this Easter Weekend. Average per screen: a very low $533. After losing more than 1,000 venues, the romantic drama lost 75% of its revenues from a week ago; that’s a very sharp drop. Total to date: $18.2 million.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, this weekend Remember Me grossed $4.7 million — nearly ten times what it did in the US/Canada — at 2,485 screens in 33 markets. The per-screen average isn’t great: only $1,891, but that’s a mix of both new and old territories — e.g., Remember Me opened in the UK this weekend; but it has been out in Brazil, Sweden, and Australia and other countries for about three weeks.
Overseas total to date: $17.2 million. A week ago, the international box-office total hovered around $10.5 million. Worldwide total to date: $35.4 million.
Remember Me has yet to open in several major and mid-size markets including China, Japan, France, Denmark, Turkey, South Korea, and Argentina.

ReplyDeleteI still think its great, that it has done much better than many critics thought it would do, under the assumption that Rob couldn't carry a film on his own without it being the Twilight Saga...
ReplyDeleteThe movie has been out at least in the US for almost a month, so I'm not surprised that it lost theaters and dropped in revenue. I hope it grosses even more once it opens in the remaining countries :)
To be fair, this movie has done a lot better than many coming-of-age theme movies that are not based on a Nicholas Sparks novel. Last year, there was "Adventureland" in which Kristen Stweart was one of the stars. It got some 89% fresh rating from Rotton Tomatos but it earned less than $20m worldwide. Unlike "Remember Me", "Adventureland" couldn't find foreign audiences. Forgive me by saying that "Adventureland" is a better movie than "Remember Me", but it earned substantially less. So when you look at that way, "Remember Me" is doing good. Not great, but good.
