40% better than Ralph.

Nice increase. And didn't Ralph made great numbers before? Urgh I wish HK was a bigger market.

Excellent, interstellar is the fourth biggest film of the year in HK!

[Bluebomb]

Big Hero 6 is doing good. It will beat Wreck-It Ralph's total by this week.

 

I wouldn't call Hobbit underperforming because the Night at the Museum franchise is HUGE in HK.

 

Taken 3 gets an early start in HK, premiering with sneaks on New Year's Eve before it moves into full release on New Year's Day. It will face off against Seventh Son, Foosball and Pang Ho Cheung Mandarin rom-com Women Who Flirt. Serial (Bad) Weddings and My Man head into limited release.

Night at the Museum 3 has quickly moved up the year end rankings and will soon join the ranks of the 5m grossers by the end of next week.

Meanwhile, Big Hero 6 and Paddington continue to battle it out over on the family friendly audience side. Paddington won some theaters in admissions last weekend but Big Hero 6's 3D ticket prices have put it well ahead in gross.

The Hobbit 3 has now gone down to 4th in admissions after Paddington passed it today. It looks like it will miss 4m.

Ok for Night at the Museum. Not bad for Big Hero 6. Excellent start for Taken 3. It is up +131.9% from Taken 2's first opening previews day in pre-sales. That opened on the holiday weekend of Mid Autumn Festival but the good news for Taken 3 is that it was limited to only night previews whereas some theaters gave Taken 2 full day showtimes. Not good for The Hobbit. Great admissions figure for Paddington. Theaters had to keep on increasing its screens/showtimes last week after it beat out Hobbit's admissions in many places and Big Hero 6's in a couple of theaters.

Down the list Seventh Son and Women Who Flirt also got sneak previews today.

Taken 3 is off to a fantastic start in HK. It is currently close to Taken 2's OW number (- sneaks) in only 3 days including sneaks.

Propelling it to new heights is the excellent WOM it has received so far. Currently, it stands at 4.5/5 rating, above Interstellar, Night at the Museum 3 and The Hobbit 3.

I believe 2.5m total is very much in the works with 3m a possibility.

Transformers: Age of Extinction was king of the Hong Kong box office in 2014 while Marvel's Captain America: Winter Soldier followed in second place as total box office amounted to $211.7 million, a 1.32 percent increase from the $209 million recorded in 2013.

+1.3% over 2013, I didn't expect such a slow growth,perhaps the market is mature right now?

Where are you getting these numbers from? I don't see it on the usual sites.

Huge for Taken 3. The drops for all Christmas movies are heavily inflated since last Friday was a holiday. Seventh Son and Women Who Flirt did surprisingly OK. Not that great for Love, Rosie.

Hong Kong has been a wealthy place for a while, and already has a pretty good gross per person, so you can't expect a very high growth rate. Also this was a weak year for Hollywood films, just look at DOM which is down 5%.
