IMO, not that surprising considering how well The Revenant did last year in China ($58.6M) so there's a room in China for movies that aren't typical PG-13 SFX fests with robots and SH.  

 

You may underestimated how well Hacksaw Ridge did. Even though it lost showtimes drastically every weekend (-64%, -78%, -56%, 60%, -70%), it gets 9.4 on Maoyan which is the highest score of non-animated films ever and has such a strong legs. If the market is less competitive in this period or well... not that short-sighted, Hacksaw Ridge will easily pass 600M/$87M here, even 693M/$100M is possible. Anyway, it is already a big success here.

 

BTW, I hope it can do well in Singapore and South Korea in the next month.

I am curious: Other than the 2-3 bannable things in movies (Ghosts, mainly)... What else prevents a movie from releasing in China other than controversial content?

 

Both Hacksaw Ridge and The Revenant are extremely graphic R-rated movies, and the Chinese seemingly enjoyed them a lot. It could be a smart market to leverage for upcoming high-quality R-rated movies in the future.. Could Deadpool 2 or Logan get released there?

 

The Revenant can of course attract many Leonardo's fans and IMO the bear is cute (well...bear is my favorite animal). And about Hacksaw Ridge, firstly, due to some history issues, many people in this country more or less dislike Japanese. Secondly, the graphic battlefield scenes can attract more male audiences. And then many audiences were moved by not only the brave behavior of Doss, but also the sincere performance of that boyish "cornstalk".    

 

Generally, it doesn't matter that it's a R-rated movie or not or even it has high-quality or not, it all depends on whether or not it has some features that can attract the general audiences here. 

 

BTW, I think Logan can release here but for Deadpool II, I am not sure.

Presales for CNY in yuan (if I'm reading this right, feel free to correct me)

 

Journey to the West - 12m

Buddies in India - 8m

Duckweed - 414k

Kung Fu Yoga - 241k

 

14 days to go

 

Are these numbers good?

 

 

JTTW and BII sound amazing for pre-sales. If you look at the pre-sales thread, the comps are fantastic. If those numbers are for Midnight+OD for JTTW, then its somewhere near Warcraft's +14 day pre-sales number. 

 

As an American BO enthusiast, its great that China has these festivals during times of drought in the American box office... Gives me something to look forward to and excited about other than Resident Evil's run in late January :-)

According to this - http://weibo.com/5768800667/DgKENmJow, Mermaid already broke Lost in Hongkong's presale record (99.92 million yuan) with 100 million yuan in opening day presales. How much are we predicting for the CNY movies?

 

Here's the pertinent quote about Mermaid's presales.. 100m yuan in OD pre-sales. That was en-route to a 281m OD, for a 2.8x PS multiplier it seems.

Thanks! I do know the presales for Mermaid a day before it released but I was wondering how it was doing two weeks prior just for comparison. It might have blown up in presales in the days leading to CNY. I should have clarified that I was talking about the presales weeks before, sorry.
