  1. Attending the Singapore premiere on Tuesday! Can't wait. Exhibitors here who attended prescreenings are raving about it. 75% IMAX showtimee to Flash on Wed (OD) and 100% IMAX showtimes to The Flash from Thurs onwards.
  2. Just based on the particular quote (which can be heard in the trailer as well) that i have seen most reviewers reference to.... I have a feeling this will be quite an emotionally heavy movie
  3. It had preview screening in parts of Asia like Malaysia and Taiwan..thus far these reviewers gave strong reviews. Will have more prescreening in the next 2 weeks. Haven't really seen WB done this before unless they have confident in their product.
  4. Is there something wrong with my internet or has deadline not posted their article on Thurs preview figures yet?
  5. Mermaid is not doing well in Asia at all.. Flopping like a fish out of water here. Hope it opens well in North America?..
  6. WB isn't stupid, so many pre-screenings, sneaks across festivals, geographies to build WoM. They wouldnt have such strategy if it was a stinker (like Shazam 2).
  7. TBH i have seen more DOM viewers / leaks saying it is great than anyone else. The Taiwan point was a reference because there was early screening last week; and these appeared on my feed as the first nom-DOM reactions from people who are genuinely non-CBM fans.
  8. I have seen reviewers from Taiwan talk about the movie from early screening there; and these are very reputable reviewers who have many times whacked movies for being bad.. Well; they all consistenly said this is one of the best superhero movies ever. So let's see how this ends up.
  9. His role is huge; at least that is what the marketing suggests. Everyone around me is hyped.. I think this one might do really well if the quality is as good as what they say. There was a screening in Taiwan last week, many reviewers there are saying it is even better than GOTG3..
  10. MI7 / Flash / GOTG. I think a lot of people are underestimating Flash.
  11. why would they lift the review embargo so early. Should have done a Fast X.. lift it when it already debut overseas. Good news for The Flash i guess. No competition in 2nd weekend and a badly reviewed film comes on the 3rd weekend..
  12. Let's see the Maoyan score, may surprise us and do really well if score is above 9.2
  13. Can't believe a Fast & Furious film is gonna open below a John Wick film. No one would believe that if you said this in 2014. Shows the importance of quality and consistency.
  14. WoM is definitely good; but most movies jumped strongly on Sun. Like you pointed out - Sat was working day.
  15. Digital is out.. But to be fair, theater chains are respectful of Paramount, it is holding theaters far better than JW4 despite JW4 outgrossing it every weekend.
  16. Isn't it the same for John Wick 4? But JW4 still did very well for a franchise standard.
  17. Issue with Hunger Games would be tue distribution of Lionsgates; where we may not know the strength of many foreign distributors. I.e. For John Wick 4, it was not shown in 1/3 of theaters in Taiwan as well as in Singapore due to respective local distributor disagreement with local theaters, plus in Singapore - there was not a single IMAX showing. Donnie Yen's star power helped with the numbers so JW4 still beat all other 3 (despite theater count disadvantages). With so many releases in Nov, studio distributors with subsidiaries overseas (i.e. WB and Disney) would have strong advantage over screen and theater count.. So Hunger Game overseas gross will likely not be that strong.
  18. Who is winning in cumulative gross? Mario or JW4?
  19. To be honest, the impact is minimal. CAM copy, pirates wont go to the cinema anyway. And anyone planning to see it, wont be affected by piracy - especially if it is an animated movie that entertain your kids for 90mins in a theater. Puss in Boots 2 / Sing 2 were not impacted much (if any) by HD leaked copy from early VOD release..
