    Quite fascinating that Avatar is still the #11 foreign film in China despite being the oldest movie released on that list (2010). The vast majority of films on that list are, as expected, from the most recent years due to China's rapid expansion.

    You're right, IW being the third film threw me off. I was only thinking of direct sequels to first installments.
  3. KP1025
    That title actually belongs to The Hunger Games and Catching Fire (which increased from an already impressive $408 million to $425 million).

    I don't think JW2 is dropping 50% from the previous film. That's almost unprecedented for a sequel, especially one to a film as well-liked by the GA as JW. Even applying the pretty harsh JP >TLW drop gets it to $418 million.

    Don't forget the wildcard Detective Pikachu releasing one week after A4- also starring Ryan Reynolds. On a more serious note, Aladdin might prove to be formidable competition (even if I have doubts about the director). It should easily be bigger than both DP2 and Solo OS (potentially BatB level or a bit under). And unless Disney moves A4 up a week, it still only has 3 weeks until the next major tentpole.

    It looks like IW is aiming for a final WW total between Avatar's OS gross and TFA's WW gross. Anything over $2 billion would be phenomenal.

    I would guess it's too slow-paced for China. Audiences probably expected a lot more action and gore from it.

    How exactly is Disney planning to fudge to $100 million again?
  9. KP1025
    That Thursday is too high. BP only increased because of a very harsh drop on Wednesday. IW should drop from yesterday because of DP2 previews tonight.

    Is that a good date for I2? Being an animated film, it would be beneficial to have the advantage of summer vacation. Hopefully JW:FK doesn't affect it too much.

    I read that Disney is targeting mid-August for IW's Blu-ray release, so it probably won't benefit from the Labor Day long weekend like the first Avengers film. For the past few years, Disney has been saving the big Labor Day theater expansion for their Pixar films rather than their Marvel films.

    Rexy would have wiped the floor with the Spino in JP3.
  13. KP1025
    I would say these all count as original films in the Top 50 WW (besides Avatar and Titanic) 12. Frozen 32. Zootopia 37. The Lion King 44. Finding Nemo
  14. KP1025
    The only major market F8 lacked on opening was Japan, which later opened to $7.75 million. This bring's F8's total WW opening up to around $550 million.

    Also did less than Valerian. I think China is the only market in the world where that happened.
  16. KP1025
    What were the past iterations of this gif? I remember there was Avatar, Bad WOM, and Good WOM?

    Summer blackout in China usually begins in July. Last year, the July blockbusters like Spider-Man, Apes 3, and Dunkirk all got pushed to September releases in China. There are some rare exceptions of foreign films being allowed during this period, such as DM3 getting a July release in China.

    IW has 3rd highest OS gross locked. It also has a good shot at 3rd highest WW gross. Domestically, it will likely settle in 4th place though.
  19. KP1025
    F7- 26 Days Avatar- 28 Days TFA- 33 Days F8- 47 Days JW- 89 Days I can't find a specific date for when Titanic crossed $1 billion OS except that it was around 4 months.
  20. KP1025
    I'd like to believe the point of the massive expansion for AWiT is for it to get over $100 million legitimately. If they just wanted to siphon money away from IW, they probably didn't need to ask so many theaters to give it screens. I still don't know if it can get over the milestone though. With Deadpool 2 next week and Han Solo the week after, this expansion is going to be very short-lived.
  21. KP1025
    Japan has no affinity for Western comics and super-heroes because they already have a very established manga culture. Most CBMs outside Spider-Man and team-up films barely make $10 million in Japan. IW making $30+ million is a good performance relatively speaking compared to the average CBM.
  22. KP1025
    Anything 9.0 or lower usually means average legs. 8.0 and below and you get bad legs.
  23. KP1025
    BOM seems to have gone a bit crazy when updating theater counts. > EXPANDING 1 19 The Miracle Season Mirror/LD 23,249 +22,919 +6,945.2% 6
  24. KP1025
    That rating is quite puzzling since Maoyan scores are typically quite a bit higher than the Douban score.
  25. KP1025
    Not that it cannot be done, but I think it will be extremely difficult to have back to back $2 billion grossers. As mentioned, Infinity War increased significantly from previous Avengers films because it was marketed as the finale to the general audience. Its event status probably drew in new viewers who've never watched the first two films and just wanted to see what the hype was about. The question is if these people will return for the second part.
