In Shanghai, a 4K+120fps theater called Shanghai Film Art Center made $631k(￥4.3m) from Billy Lynn on last weekend.Two 4K+120fps theaters located in New York and Los Angeles only did $114k.

Hope Fantastic Beasts will make $80m.

Second weekend estimated number is $22.76m(-48.7%).

I’m happy to tell everyone it’s inevitable that Doctor Strange will reach $100m in China(before the ending of next week I guess).$108m(about ￥730m) is possible.

I also hope more co-productions will come.But it seems there are many creative differences between China and US.Kung fu Panda 3 is good and it could have done better in China.I think more Chinese studios will be encouraged to work with US filmmakers if The Great Wall succeeds.

Too many bad films audience have watched.It’s time to rise against China filmmakers.

Under 10% in RMB I think.In US$, that would be less than 5%.

Ideally, $640M worldwide for DS. North America $230M Asia $220M Europe $120M Latin America $70M

Data from BOM(I counted and made the tabulation by excel) Doctor Strange Market Opening weekend Second weekend Mil Days # % - TDW % - TWS % - GOTG $ - AM Mil % - TDW % - TWS % - GOTG $ - AM U.K. $11.33 6 -18% 13% 6% 81% $4.31 -10% -6% -23% 10% France $5.80 5 -47% -4% -12% 34% $2.72 -32% -26% -20% 6% Germany $4.95 4 -40% 24% -30% 194% $3.60 -12% 41% -8% 240% Russia $2.96 3 -61% -62% -77% -37% $12.44 9% 315% 109% 549% Italy $2.67 4 -54% -34% -21% 19% $1.73 -20% -16% 11% 113% Spain $2.13 3 -44% -27% -29% 133% $1.20 -21% 15% 26% 117% Netherland $1.01 4 0% 41% -9% 5% $0.74 10% 39% 11% 207% Europe box office Dark World - $163m+ Winter Soldier - $116m+ Guardian of the Galaxy - $181m+ Ant-Man - $79m+

Too high for Europe.Major market’s opening is less than GOTG and Thor.

And also, nearly 50% mean that the screen showings change form 75,132(Thu) to 41,829(Fri). 41,829/75,132-1=-44.3% The 8.7% you said is the changing of proportion of whole days.The showings for Ant-Man changed from 45,655(Thu) to 36,236(Fri). 36,236/45,655-1=-20.6%

Because only Conan and some small-budget local films released, and cinema staff didn’t think that giving more screen showings for those films could earn more money.

Billy Lynn and One Piece take away for most.But Doctor Strange still has many until I am not Madame Bovary and Fantastic Beasts come.

Nearly 50% screen showings will be cut tomorrow

￥640m, about $95m.

In China, Thu number is estimated at around $3.26m(￥22m).About $61.2m in the first 7 days.

Damn, actuals is ￥33.7m.I thought it could be better.

Monday actuals might be $5.6m-$5.7m for DS.

Batman Begins Spider-Man Iron Man Guardian of the Galaxy Ant-Man The Amazing Spider-Man Doctor Strange Captain America Superman X-Men Man of Steel Thor

China OW $44.46m, bigger than Ant-Man(4%), The Winter Soldier(15%), Guardian of the Galaxy(48%),The Dark World(115%).

Spider-Man is the first comic book and English film I knew and watched.It is one of the best original films I think(Two other film are Batman Begins and Iron Man).

Seems I’m the only guy who think that Spider-Man 2 is the best comic book film.

The Force Awakens is No.2 or No.3 now
