    So what was T4 pre-sales again just before hitting cinemas? I don't know if AAoU will beat FF7 in presales and much less certain on the actual grosses, but if it takes down T4 as well then the China Market has absolutely proven its muscles. Movies will get greenlit and scheduled now based on tendencies for China from here on!

    Bears watching...already the government threw in Chappie last second and then tomorrowland and san andreas within the month of its release, whilst FF7 only had to contend with Home and the youth romance dramas the bureau was pinning its hopes on to carry the torch for local flicks.

    Did not cross over to non-family at all. Crowds released the same frame and did extremely well, then again Croods had no Ff7 to contend with back then either.

    The spate of local films that came out in late April so underwhelmed. I think the bureau helped FF7 by their desire to protect those titles from AAoU.
  5. Archerdude
    No one talking about HOME, what a missed opportunity. It did well in the US, Dreamworks lazily anointed a local title that apes THE CROODS and it has insanely popular (in China) actor Jim Parsons voicing it. It is going to do less than BIG HERO 6's first week total?

    Everyone and their neighbor's best friends are coming to China to promote a movie. I bet announcements for The Rock and Chris Pratt imminent too!

    Is it fair to think that AAoU is going to be inherently front loaded because of rabid Marvel fans...versus FF7? Meaning the holds won't nearly be as strong?
  8. Archerdude
    It will be removed from theaters possibly with the highest box office for a last day movie

    Zoyks Ultron slowing down...

    I agree, 3D disaster flick is made for China...its upside will be imapired with Jurassic World merely 8 days behind it though, mind you.

    this rash of youth oriented dramas took the place of Wuxia sword and war pics that ruled for years after Crouching Tiger and Hero broke out in the early 2000's
  12. Archerdude
    That would be AWESOME
  13. Archerdude
    Yes so a few of these will underwhelm. I have my bets on Lost in Hong Kong...that said everyone thought Jiang Wen was a sure bet too this time last year! Not familiar with some of the other titles here. Speaking of The Crossing...where's the sequel???
  14. Archerdude
    OK, like 6 times in front? Must be crazy Marvel fans front loading this. But AAoU needs a strong dominant showing more than FF7 did on day 1 as it starts on a Tuesday. Will be interesting next few days!

    Hold on a sec, firedeep. One thing of note: you're assuming the Chinese films hold up the end of their bargain. I don't know enough of what's coming but seems the big guns are now trained mostly towards Chinese New Year 2016 and not December, right? Outside of Lost in Hongkong, what else is expected to break the bank there? T minus 7 days to launch, what was FF7 presales in Gewara 7 days before it started? Does anyone know?

    Wanda has maybe 100-120 IMAX screens, let's say an average of 300 seats per theater, so about 3,000+ tickets? According to Weibo posts, some of the IMAX screens have started selling 2:30 or 2:40am shows, Tuesday early morning.

    I guess then the early decisions to import Annie and Unbroken are paying off based on this calculation. That's a good guess of the movies being imported I should say...one of them might drop out in favor of "Pan," china film just signed to handle merchandising rights of that...which means, well, they have an incentive to import that movie now wouldn't they?
  18. Archerdude
    PUKE...hopefully no more Bingbing's
  19. Archerdude
    So essentially FF7 has a chance to be pulled down while being the #1 movie of the day still (sorry Chappie, I just don't think the love for robots will save you). What I'm astounded by is seemingly there is no longer the need to "shelter" local movies with Jurassic World now slated for June 10th as well. Has the government decided it is all alright now?
  20. Archerdude
    Amaze-balls, FF7 is just really unstoppable. There's a Chinese film opening this weekend with Fan Bingbing in it, wonder if there are any pre-opening tracking for its pre-sales?
  21. Archerdude
    This may not be best news for the rest of the year, there may be artificial "measures" taken to limit Hollywood titles from breaking out the rest of the way...
  22. Archerdude
    Will Kingsmen break the bank this weekend?
  23. Archerdude
    Based on that jawdropper of a teaser trailer I would say this is an easy cruise to 100 Mil+ for this movie (pun intended).
  24. Archerdude
    It will see its WOM propel it this weekend (holidays), I would say 75 in the bag, 80 depends on how badly FF7 affects it...and if the locals hold any candle this weekend. Cinderella got helped by anemic competition.
  25. Archerdude
    No mention of next releases after Avengers 2 on May 12th. Guess is they'll plug something the following weekend...maybe this.
