China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30
Cynosure replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
Because it only has the RT scores on its main page under the 'movies opening this week list'. I find the average rating much more telling, afterall a movie can have a 90% RT score with many reviews just past the fresh threshold or the same score with much more dithyrambic reviews. Yes, that's why I went back on what I said when I mentioned that I misunderstood. It's RT's system which is awful with its black and white way of rating things, not the critics. -

Precisely. And despite a 90% positive the legs have been pretty awful, even for Marvel standards, so it seems that the average rating and not the RT score ended up being a better reflection of moviegoers' behaviour and overall WOM. -

WK4 09 (---) ¥50,000,000 ($480,000), 0, ¥65,000,000 ($625,000), 10 Cloverfield Lane (Toho-Towa) NEW 10 (06) ¥49,000,000 ($470,000), -31%, ¥1,725,000,000 ($16.1 million), 64: Part 1 (Toho) WK7 This weekend is the definition of a dump weekend in a traditional dumping month. We will have a very close race to see which holdover will come out on top this weekend. 64: Part 2 is probably the slight favorite, but Zootopia could certainly reclaim the #1 position (in its ninth weekend!). Also, in what would be a huge surprise, Evergreen Love has a shot at rising to the #1 position (it's looking at the best hold this weekend), capturing the top spot for the first time since settling for third place the past two weeks. All three look likely to earn between ¥200-225 million this weekend. Now onto the openers... Sadako vs Kayako, I think, will end up being the top opener over the weekend, but it's only going to achieve a fourth place debut at best. The film puts the iconic horror characters from The Ring and Grudge franchises against one another as they, probably, frighten the cast. Mars has some nice pre-sales, but it's only playing on 197 screens and should have poor walk-up business since the majority of its pre-sales are coming from stage greetings. It could end up as the weekend's top opener, though. Creepy has the most potential based on the cast & crew credits, starring a popular lead in Hidetoshi Nishijima, but its pre-sales are the weakest and its screen count of 256 is unimpressive. It's the most unlikely to become the weekend's top opener, but it can't be ruled out completely since its walk-up business should be the strongest. 10 Cloverfield Lane is being dumped without any effort at trying to give it a respectable opening. It's only playing on 143 screens, and only earned around ¥15 million ($150,000) yesterday (Friday). A weekend around ¥50 million is probably the best it can manage to bring do.- 23,403 replies

China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30
Cynosure replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
Yes, yes. In fact I think Zootopia's score is quite fair. I just think some scores are laughably high. CW comes to mind. edit : Nevermind, I misunderstood. It's actually the way RT functions that's an issue. It artificially increases or decreases the percentages by having reviews being either fresh or rotten. For example Dory has 95% with an average score of 7.74 so the percentage makes it look way better than what critics really think. -

I do agree that American and to a lesser extent British critics seem to get enthusiastic quite easily with a 'best movie ever' coming out about each month. I find my country's (France) critics better in that regard and less prone to release hype : The Avengers has 4.1/5 so 82, Zootopia 80, Captain America 66, Age of Ultron 58 etc. -

He's the executive producer. http://www.jobsnhire.com/articles/36821/20160304/one-piece-film-gold-trailer-manga.htm So he doesn't write the screenplay but he's definitely involved quite heavily.- 23,403 replies

JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW
Cynosure replied to Corpse's topic in International Box Office
What's impressive about Doraemon and Conan is that they are consistently among the highest grossing movies of the year without the original authors being involved. Crayon Shin-chan and Naruto movies gross around 2 billion yen. Pokemon has been declining for a few years grossing only 2.5 billion yen last year. One Piece and Dragon Ball need their authors to be involved in the screenplay for the fans to show up and the movies to be successful which is why they only get a movie release every other year instead of annually. Doraemon's authors are dead and Conan's author doesn't write the screenplay for the movies. And yet...- 23,403 replies

If its past weekdays, and weekend pre-sales serve as an accurate indicator this week, it does appear the film has begun to cool down just a bit... but only just a bit. Its weekday-to-weekday business was down less than 10%, and its pre-sales for Saturday suggest a sub-20% hold, or possibly a single digit decline as well. It's going to cruise over the blockbuster milestone of ¥5 billion over the weekend, as it will then begin its journey to see how close it can get to the uber-blockbuster mark of ¥10 billion ($90 million). Wolf Girl and Black Prince will provide the weekend with a decent opener, which may perhaps be the biggest opener of this year's May (if it beats 64: Part 1's ¥257.2 million from earlier this month). Its pre-sales are almost on par with last year's No Longer Heroine, which opened to ¥262.5 million in September. The film is the latest live-action shojo adaptation, based on the popular manga of the same name 'Wolf Girl and Black Prince', directed by Hiroki Ryuichi and starring Fumi Nikaido and Kento Yamazaki in the lead roles. The Huntsman: Winter's War is going to disappoint. The first film was a modest success (grossing ¥1.71 billion), but the sequel appears to be in poor shape. Based on its Friday opening (~¥35 million), it's only going to gross around ¥100 million or so over the weekend frame compared to the original's debut of ¥302 million.- 23,403 replies

The japanese people don't go to the movies that much compared to the americans, the koreans or the french. That's why admissions always look a bit low for such a big market.- 23,403 replies
