Thank you for the info :)! I am so happy for Zootopia, China really adores Nick and Judy right ? And a bit surprised about Your Name too. I have not watched it yet but with many people declaring it a masterpiece I thought YN would easily earn over $100 million in China, considering the presales were so high. Can someone give some insights? The WOM seems amazing but its hold is not as impressive as it suggests.

Thank you all for your walm welcome :)! I have to say BOT is the only forum I visit these years, what a great place for movie lovers and moviegoers like me ^ ( I even love the regular meltdowns here ). So the realistic ballpark for Moana is around 600 now, no? Well, less than I expected and hoped for it (still hope for 650 though), but anyway Disney will earn a nice figure from it and we have the fantastic movie we want, so I think I shouldn't have any complaint really :). But trust me Moana will do very well on Netflix later haha.

Hi everyone, I has been lurking here for a very long time but rarely post as there is actually nothing I can contribute, coming from a rather insignificant country in terms of box office. But Moana opened here last weekend and I think I should share some thought as I see the panic mode is strong . In our country people don't particularly like musicals, and marketing for Moana is not strong either (surprise hah, it's Disney ), thus opening weekend is quite weak. But Moana has insane WOM, with many people posting reactions on SNS and urging everybody to go see Moana as it's not simply a "cute, fun" movie, but a "beautiful, wonderful, must-see movie that can inspire and make them feel and cry." The WOM has kept it quite busy during the week for an animated movie, and for the second weekend I don't have official numbers but I believe Moana stayed flat or even increased. When I watched it for the 4th time yesterday the cinema was busier than last week, with many showings sold out. Moana also played particularly well with females here, and that leads to great leg. You know, when a movie can make us women feel and cry, we will drag other people with us to watch it multiple times, being a sentimental creature as we are . I am also disappointed with the opening in the UK, but I think we shouldn't panic yet. At least wait for its leg. Yesterday I checked for Moana posts on SNS in the UK and the reactions are just as great as in our country, so I am hopeful :). I believe WOM will carry Moana far enough to a respectable amount.

Hi, I am from Vietnam and just want to log in to comment that Ip Man 3 is a phenomenon here . Its success really shocks a lot of people as most do not know Ip Man and what the film is about before it was released but now every one rushes to the cinema to see it ^^. Its success is based purely on grassroots marketing by the public on Facebook and word-of-mouth is nearly all time high. Very few films have reached that good WOM in Vietnam. A lot of people search for Ip Man 1 and 2 online after they come back from their Ip Man 3 screening, myself included.
