  1. HOBBIT being railroaded by the glut of movies opening after it. This abnormal way of releasing flicks (I mean, opening Mockingjay 1 on a Sunday? Somewhere Only We Know opening on a Tuesday?) is hurting movies.
  2. First Annie now Unbroken...is there a conspiracy to deplete the imported film pool before Summer or what?
  3. How much longer can Penguins retain screens when it isn't doing much over weekdays and newer films enter the fray. Bad weekend for Fury, wasted pick for foreign films by virtue of competition, there used to be a time war movies like this are gold mine.
  4. Strangely Pitt isn't supporting FURY release with a visit to China...but was in Australia to support Unbroken from the Mrs.
  5. Interstellar faces a couple of 2D competition coming this weekend with the Wong Fei Hung movie (actually, is that 3D?) and Fury, both are marketed rather weakly so probably won't hold a candle. What's interesting to me is DW's gamble to open Penguins 2 weeks in advance...not sure if it has paid off.
  6. I think the question is how quickly before the end of the year not if?
  7. What went wrong? One year ago if you ask any China observers, no one would put TASM2 behind Cap, X and certainly not Guardians.
  8. If memory serves me right...it has now beaten The Avengers in China? Just goes to show the growth this market is experiencing, 2 years ago it was still a major deal to go past 500M.
  9. Surprised TASM2 was this low going into its OW, this must sound alarm bells within Sony. If it gets beat by GOTG in China, tsk tsk tsk...no one could have predicted GOTG to come close to TASM2 a year ago, or that it would lag behind Cap 2 and XM:DOFP.
  10. I don't know if Hercules is the flop of the year...shouldn't Monuments Men take that crown?
  11. Then Maze Runner and TMNT happens next week, I think Herc definitely drew the short end of the stick here but Olive what's your sense of where GOTG will end up using this trajectory? 540, US$90 Mil thereabouts?
  12. What if it beats Hercules' day 1...probably will be a close call?
  13. Depends how well it weathers the challenges from the 4 new 3D films hitting the marketplace over 10 days...starting with today's Hercules, reportedly did a little less than RMB 600K midnight shows, but that's to be expected, it was a Monday night after all.
  14. I think TMNT may be poised for a big weekend come Halloween, it is also going to benefit from Interstellar moving off to 11/12.
  15. Gewara indicators? Could not for the life of me find out how to track them still. How are things looking for Maze Runner and Lucy though?
  16. The glut as designed by the authorities go into effect this week. Ice Age 2 re-release is good as gone, I think...curious to see what Herc will command come Tuesday, I think Lucy might just still prevail over it.

  18. Every one and their mother queuing up to promote in China...Dwayne The Rock Johnson was just there for Hercules.
  19. Good point...the drop norms may not apply as this is a full weekend if you may while last week was a half one. Here's hoping for a pretty nice hold as a result.
  20. It was closer to 30 but not quite I think, the 23+ was revised soonafter.
  21. First three don't look to be too big...Interstellar will be a huge test on whether China REALLY is 3D crazy or would it not matter.
