Well in Australia I can tell you that Remember Me grossed AUD510,753 from 173 screens according to Urban Cinefile over the opening 4 days. It came in at no. 8 which I suppose isn’t that great, but we are only talking about 173 screens. We can’t even begin to compare that to the US where it came in at no. 4 with gross takings of USD8.281 million but that’s over 2,211 or so screens according to Variety. You have to remember it hasn’t experienced worldwide release yet – I mean the UK isn’t seeing it until 2 April and I know Mexico doesn’t have the chance to see until 26 March. So it’s still early days. The other thing we need to remember is that it was made for USD16 million so really when Rob calls it a little film – he’s not kidding – I mean Johnny Depp was probably paid more than that just to play the Mad Hatter. We will check again next week to see how it’s faring, but to be honest I don’t think it’s doing too bad. So keep on getting the word out there and introducing new people to the talent that is Robert Pattinson – I know most are pleasantly surprised, plus this movie as a whole is probably one of the most profound films to come out of dare I say Hollywood in a very very long time.
