  1. China Box Office: 'Avengers: Infinity War' Crushes Presales Records

    [The Hollywood Reporter]  9:42 AM PDT 5/9/2018 by Patrick Brzeski
     

    Marvel Disney's Avengers: Infinity War is revving up to make a massive start in the Chinese film market, the world's second-biggest box-office territory.

     

    The mega-tentpole had notched $47.5 million (RMB 302 million) in presales as of late Wednesday night in Beijing. With a full day to go before the local release Friday, Infinity War has set a new all-time ticket presales record in China, surpassing the estimated RMB 300 million (about $47 million at today's exchange rate) earned by Edko Film's Monster Hunt 2 during the lead-up to Chinese New Year in January. 

     

    Infinity War also handily crushed Hollywood's record for presales in China — Universal's Fate of the Furious was the prior record holder with an estimated $25 million (RMB 158 million) in 2017.

    So, there are things like vod and Netflix and blu-Ray. Many times franchises gain fans through this secondary market. Then they go see the sequels in theater. Kind of like a snowball rolling downhill. LOTR is one of the best examples of this.

     

    People will see the new cut as their first experience with the DCEU and get hooked, then get angry they were fooled by overly negative reviews then tell friends how good it is and all will jump on the bandwagon.

     

    Maybe that will happen, but it will take a lot of heavy lifting:

    Also, on an adjusted basis, the LotR movies had a modest domestic increase ($477m, $502m, $536m)

    imo next weekend BVS will fall around 55%. 23m

    The weekend after that Jungle Book opens. So instead of a 45-50% recovery in 4th weekend, will have another ~55% drop. 10.25m

    Then when Huntsmen opens it shouldn't drop big but will loose some theaters again, ~41%. 6m

    Then a good hold with a ~37.5% drop the weekend Keanu & Mother's Day open. 3.75m

    Then ~47% against Civil War. Drops are smaller with small numbers so should not drop much more than that. 2m

    That gives 45m in weekends + 4m more in weekends after that = 49m in remaining weekends.

    Assuming it has 13m this Mon-Thu followed by a 23m weekend, using that same ratio of 13:23, 49m in remaining weekends implies 28m in remaining weekdays.

    So 49m + 28m = 77m more to it's 261m tally for 338m.

     

    If so, it would be slightly below Iron Man 2, adjusted ($341.9 million).
