I need a formal report, not just a general remark.

Request for Question Clarification by justaskscott-ga on 18 Apr 2003 09:55 PDT

I have found complete or nearly complete figures for the UK,
Australia, Italy, South Africa, India, Hong Kong, Switzerland, and (so
far) United States, and partial figures for France, Germany, Spain,
and Finland.  Would these be sufficient?

Yes justaskscott these will be fine so long as the figures are fairly
recent (ie, not just figures for a month since it opened).. I need
total $ till now from time of release.

I too have found some figures for various countries, and I was going
to post it as an answer, but they do not include each and every week
from the film's release in those countries.

Below are examples from a few of the countries.  I have not included
the weekly gross amounts, just the dates.   As you can see, there are
some gaps in the examples.  But is this type of data sufficient?

Hello sunnygoo-ga,

Popsracer-ga found some of the answer, and leep-ga apparently found
the rest just as I did.  I will put it all together here.

Data for some countries, as noted by popsracer-ga, is located at:

"Business Data for Bend It Like Beckham (2002)"
The Internet Movie Database [IMDb]
http://us.imdb.com/Business?0286499

Near the top of that page, you can click for a free trial.  Once you
have registered successfully, you can search in IMDb Pro (
http://pro.imdb.com/ ) for: bend it like beckham.  On the resulting
page, you can click on "Box Office" in the left column.  You will then
find the figures that leep-ga has quoted, plus possibly complete
numbers for Hong Kong and opening numbers for Finland, France, and
Germany.

"Bend It Like Beckham (2002) - Box Office"
IMDb Pro
http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0286499/boxoffice [this link should not
work unless you have registered]

I tried obtaining additional information on other box office sites (
http://directory.google.com/Top/Arts/Movies/News_and_Media/Box_Office_Reports/?il=1
) and elsewhere, but the figures on IMDb were easily the most
complete.

I hope that this information is helpful.
