God, this is so broing. Why couldn't they release the clip/trailer by their official account just like Netflix did?

RIP

So how much Dune will make on opening?

WB did hybrid for the whole year, but the biggest debut is just $31M. Dis & Uni: l~o~s~e~r~

young audience rules. If Twilight series come at this point, $100M OD easily.

$23M is quite great. $53~55M OW

DOM cinemas recover exclusively on the first weekend of every month.

I think they don't have a specific target but will try to make it as high as possible. It's probably a sign that a local release date would be given soon.

6.5/10 for Venom 2 right now. up 0.6 in just one day as nearly 2,000 users or robots were hired for great comments.

6.4/10 on Douban for Venom 2 Sony is doing pretty great marketing job.

I did a simple search. 90% of all showtimes are 3D in Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou currently. Shanghai is the only first tier city(where most of its targeted audience are) that has relative amount of 2D screenings. Really stupid release strategy.

my expectation was ¥100M-plus no matter what kind of circumstance it has. I'm not sure if current pre-sale performance is a bad sign, but it does limit the chance of raising my expectation.

slightly better than BR2049 at the same point. ¥100M lifetime is still on table.

venom 2 started with 5.9/10 on Douban after oversea opening. Sony has hired water army and paid some users, and now it’s 6.1 in one hour. First one is 7.2/10.

He will come back by unclear form. For many local studios and creative people, they don't really care about if it's feasibility to invite someone back or keep telling new stories as long as a movie become hit. Movies especially HK productions like Line Walker, Overheard tell different story with different characters in "sequel" but still have same cast.

right after film festival.

folks in this thread are the insiders they mentioned?

TBATL actually is doing little less than you see on workdays currently. Official CBO app say 20~25% ticket sales in recent days are offline selling. Mostly, the number is around 10%. It might be a sign that block booking by enterprises, a usual operation for local propaganda movies, is happening. This is why I don't think it would go a long way in the rest of the running though the 3rd and 4th weekend would still be huge.

if opening is good, one week is enough. Craig’s series is not what general audience want here. Brosnan’s works are what most of us think Hollywood blockbusters should ever be, even though ridiculous.

douban score after oversea opening NTTD - 7.1 Dune - 8.0 for recent 007 movies CR - 7.6 QoS - 6.6 Skyfall - 7.1 Spectre - 6.4 for DV's works BR2049 - 8.3 Arrival - 7.8 Sicario - 7.6 Enemy - 7.0 Prisoners - 8.1 Incendies - 8.6

¥102.8M / ¥4,218.6M(12-day total, THU debut) for TBALK. ¥119.4M / ¥4,293.3M(12-day total, FRI debut) for Hi, Mom at the same point. Unless 3rd weekend hold well, it's unlikely for TBALK to be NO.2 or NO.1 of all time.

Suspicious Propaganda Department guy say so.

Venom 2 is already get approval.

It might be too early to say something on this, but I'm not very very optimistic on its box office potential. I believe Cameron would bring me a brilliant experience, but the circumstance right now is very different. Cinema charm is not strong like decades ago. The reasons that top grossers in recent years could be hits are not just good qualities and fanbase. It's about special emotion and fever: national identity(Wolf Warrior 2 ect.), family(Hi, Mom, Furious series), self-reliance/anti-destiny(Ne-Zha, Wandering Earth), nostalgia/farewell(Endgame, Mermaid). For many moviegoers of new generation, these are cinema. Even blockbusters like LORT, HP are somehow too old for them.

I mean, we don't have seen a major hollywood blockbuster, especially good one, for a very long time. Maybe Free Guy? So NWH could get boost(at least for opening) by the unusual circumstance.
