B+ cinemascore is pretty great for a horror movie

Most of the country(like 90% of them) have legally binding replacement holiday on Monday if the public holiday falls on Sunday.

why marvel choose not to release DS2 in late April for overseas market like previous marvel films? They will be able to capitalise the labour day holiday weekend.

May not be euro 10m but usd10m is slightly easier.

So with help of 200m opening from DS, North America market will soon pass china and become the top market again! china is at around 2.2bn now versus 1.94bn in North America.

I believe not only cbm, Hollywood film in general are on declining trend in the past decade, only to be moderated by few musical hit and animation.

Wow, that is quite a great hold isn’t it? $10m opening weekend is possible.

Indeed it come in at number 1 on Wednesday. But this week it will face the biggest threat, not only in term of scale but also their similar in concept. theater count drop to 1800 but mother day could soften the blow

Not sure SK number confuse me but these opening numbers so far seem pretty on par with NWH.

So by the end of weekend, we should have at least 100m people saw avatar2 teaser on big screen, assuming all countries have avatar 2 teaser attached to DS2

The lord of the ring, POTC are pretty magical too

All great increase from DS1 across Europe. So the European really like magical-world.

Tom cruise entry into red carpet premiere is bad ass!

I don’t really like the CGI of the final shot tbh (the mangrove trees part). It looked too CGI especially the roots parts. That combined with flying creature make the image overall feel a bit too video game-like. That shot is the only shot I dislike from the whole teaser. The flying movement itself does look realistic through.

We also need some local blockbusters like those multi-million admission movie that we have regularly in pre-pandemic time.

Is it possible in a capital city like sacto, people there are more responsive to a more “USA! USA!”, hence the overperformance? As of apr 30, domestic gross about 1.9bn at the box office while china made around 2.25bn total (assuming 1usd to 6.5 rmb). After solid march and april while largely muted cinema going in china lately. Domestic market manages to close the gap quickly. If DS2 gross 400m and TG2 opened to 100m, domestic can very well overtake china as the biggest market again like in pre-pandemic era by end of May. Whether or not they can retain the crown, it is up to 2nd half of the year and depend on just how many lakes are there in China.

I believe at some point of the movie they will insert take my breath away song right? No way they miss this opportunity to invoke nostalgic feeling. Tom cruise will handle overseas crowd

I always see TG as a semi-propaganda film as full blown propaganda film is almost impossible in USA politics. I like to see how TG perform up against the battle of lake changjin franchise in china. In view of this, we shall rename TG as TG: the battle at Lake Superior. I believe at this point a slight endorsement from trump to TG would elevate the movie to a right-wing event.

So weird to see Hindi-Urdu being the most widely spoken language in India but there are only one film in Hindi featuring in the top 5 list of highest grossing film of India. Both RrR and KGF should be able to hit 900 crore before DS2 right? Rank Film Total gross Primary language(s) Year Ref 1 Baahubali 2: The Conclusion ₹1,429 crore Telugu 2017 [3] 2 RRR * ₹898.3 crore Telugu 2022 [18] 3 K.G.F: Chapter 2 * ₹892 crore Kannada 2022 [19] 4 2.0 ₹565 crore Tamil 2018 [20] 5 Dangal ₹538.03 crore Hindi 2016 [7] 6 Baahubali: The Beginning ₹520 crore Telugu 2015 [21] 7 PK ₹473.33 crore Hindi 2014 [22] 8 Avengers: Endgame ₹442 crore English 2019 [23] 9 Bajrangi Bhaijaan ₹444.92 crore Hindi 2015 [24] 10 Tiger Zinda Hai ₹434.82 crore Hindi 2017 [25][26]

I guess the less enthusiastic review means less rush factor for people to purchase the ticket earlier, but eventually they will show up

A far less catchy or memorable song compared to song from the first one.

From what I can see, seem like we are having another 1bn grosser without china

Is it possible where SK will be the only market where DS2 grossing more than NWH?

The country only have 22 IMAX screen. With more local blockbusters receiving imax remaster, they should try expand this count to around 50.

Just come back from fan screening (only one screening today). what can I say is, I wish the movie is longer.
