You know what old movie I think deserves a re-release in China? The original “The Lion King” (1994). Since that one is one of the closer films to $1B but not really there yet (It’s at $968M WW). Big shame since it is a favorite among anyone or everyone who loved it. Do you guys think the original TLK deserves a China-release or something?

Um...is Harry Potter: TSS over $1B WW now? Since BOM still has the WW-gross at $998.9M for some reason. Shouldn’t the gross be higher by now? Maybe it’s China gross has slowed down recently or something. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Something doesn’t quite feel right. 🤷🏻‍♀️

How much have Harry Potter made in China so far? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Very true. I’m not sure any average joe knows better than the people from the movie studios themselves. Even those who has been here since BOT started. It’s so unpredictable.

Does anyone have the current WW-numbers for ”Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” yet?

Updated list with new movies: Very enjoyable & fun movies that I really liked, but some either harshly underperformed or just did a bit lesser than expected: (Old) Kung Fu Panda 3 War for the Planet of the Apes Paddington 2 (New) Dumbo (2019) Detective Pikachu Godzilla: King of the Monsters The Secret Life of Pets 2

Nice to see Harry Potter’s first film make some money in China. So far, Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone is at $984M WW ($16M away from $1B), though it might be updated with the China-gross soon enough.

Now it’s at $511M OS and nearly $700M WW.

Fair. BOM says that small portions of grosses that goes to each total to each HP-movie either domestic/overseas. So of course it’s not like all the movies made exactly $65M in UK each. Otherwise some of these HP-movies would be at $1B by now. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Still...HP1 remains even to this day..the movie closest to $1B but not actually there...yet.

Good news for Harry Potter movie-fans. (myself included) It looks like Box Office Mojo just recently updated the grosses of all the HP-movies to higher numbers: Sorcerer’s Stone = 991M Chamber of Secrets = $887M Prisoner of Azkaban = $808M Goblet of Fire = $904M Order of the Phoenix = $950M Half-Blood Prince = $942M Deathly Hallows P1 = $988M Deathly Hallows P2 = $1.370B In case anyone didn’t notice. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/chart/ww_top_lifetime_gross/?area=XWW&ref_=bo_cso_ac

My picks for underrated films of 2019: Aladdin (2019) Godzilla: King of the Monsters Men in Black: International The Lion King (2019) Wonder Park Pokemon: Detective Pikachu

It’s also said that China might release the first Harry Potter-film in theaters over there: https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2020/03/19/box-office-chinese-theaters-to-reopen-with-harry-potter-in-3-d/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

I also think....if China can do it somehow: Re-release The Lion King in China. That’s all I want. They could (if they can) release both animated TLK’s (the 1994-2D original and the 2019 CGI remake). Would have loved to see the original hit $1B+ WW in it’s lifetime-run and the remake go a bit over Jurassic World’s WW-gross. Though I really just want the original TLK (1994) to hit over $1B+ WW like the remake did.

I absolutely agree.

That and some Pixar originals haven’t made as much money as most of the Pixar sequels nowadays (excluding the Cars-sequels). Finding Dory, Incredibles 2 & Toy Story 4 lately..have all been huge $1B-hits and they were sequels. Nowadays for Pixar originals...you either do good like Coco, or flop like The Good Dinosaur. I guess the fact that big Pixar sequels have easier chance of being monster hits than originals have.
