Martial art movies a not popular like its previous years. But SPL II made nearly 600M Yuan last year, Ip Man 3 should double it. My target for it is 800m yuan, hopefully piracy doesn't really affect it. And hope no Big Hollywood blockbuster suddenly enters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do certainly hope so that Ip Man 3 will do well, I hope it earns 1000m Yuan, but 800m Yuan will be great already! =) Just wondering what do you think of the change in release date. Do you feel that it was wise for Ip Man 3 to shift away from Dec 31st? Shift away from major competitions in an arguably better release date of December... to a quiet month where competition is less but piracy may be rampant? (Not forgetting potential fatigue from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2). Some calls it a bad idea to shift to March, but it seems like quite a good idea now, what do you think?

(Not forgetting potential fatigue from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2). Some calls it a bad idea to shift to March, but it seems like quite a good idea now, what do you think? Speaking of the confirmed Mainland release date of March 4th, everyone worried that the internet and the rampant piracy would affect the Mainland box office. Shi Jianxiang however sang another tune as he confidently said, "Earlier the Taiwan film OUR TIMES also postponed its Mainland release, piracy spread in a small area but with the word of mouth its Mainland release received decent box office." Shi Jianxiang even offered HK$ 10 million to ask everyone to guess IP 3's final box office. Because IP 3 has already broken many records, the team looked forward to its Mainland release very much. Some predicted 1.8 billion and some even 2 billion, but the result will have to wait until the Mainland release. Although that prediction is crazy, it showed their heavy confidence on Ip Man 3. Considering it broke records in many Asian countries, its quality shouldn't be bad. Ask for its changing release date, I think it's not a bad idea. Look at Detective Chinatown, which was expect 1B+, it's much less than expect. Actually, it had NY holidays but Mojin & Mr.Six was doing so well at that time. Sherlock came out on its 5th day & SW7 on its 10th day. DC made nearly 34M Yuan on its 2nd Fri, but it fell to 27.5M Yuan on Sat due to SW7 released. Ip Man 3 isn't a comedy movie, it would definitely do less than DC. WOM can't help it much due to competitions & losing showtimes. Yes, Dec.31 is really not a good release date. I prefer Dec.24 (Christmas +NYD). But since it's like this, March.4th is ok. Maybe I expect too much for Ip Man 3. But since it becomes my most fav martial art movie, & Donnie Yen is also my most fav action star, I wish it's not just a dream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I am aware about that I only asked in my first post, if the December is still a protection month in 2016, if yes: as Rougue One's general release date (as in a majority of ww countries) is around the midth of December it would be not logical to add the title on a list for to be expected / guessed about 2016 releases, as it couldn't be released before 2017 out of that.

Some, if not many, of Mtime's articles/reports are not so professional. 2016 will still have Dec blakout period.

If there were more competition, Monkey King 2 will flop, but considering there are only 3 Big Releases in CNY..... it will probably be a hit because people can see more than 1 movie per day, and Mermaid fans will probably not watch macau, and macau fans might boycott mermaid just because of Box Office Competition.
