It's going to do $135M in China...that's not abysmal by any means.
Come on now, if that was abysmal I would say the same as Captain Marvel. Surely you recognize the fact that I mean $37 per screen is abysmal not $135 million in China which is good for any movie.

This is China, not in the U.S.
The same thing couldn't be accomplished in the U.S. since studios contract exclusive time frames to have IMAX screens.
Yes I'm aware, it makes drastically lower per screen in China. The numbers are abysmal at this point there as well. With way more showings it made what 550k yesterday. The screen showings are down 77% and the per screen figures are down 83.6%.

CM $200M second weekend confirmed.
Haha, it would rain tears from the sky from all those so upset even if did like 80 million. Probably like ten thousand deleted or banned twitter accounts.

My reaction to that trailer below. The end of the trailer is the best part. Totally seeing that movie in England and America just to do my part.

Isn't that because they didn't get paid on the last Disney movie in Pakistan? My understanding is there are a a lot of issues with the box office in Pakistan.

I mean I think it looks awesome. My daughter loved the Aladdin pantomime here in Cambridge and I hope to take her to see this. She loves movies with singing in it so it should be good to go. It looks awesome and I think Will Smith is going to absolute kill it.

Yeah that makes more sense lol. Like there's no way Captain Marvel will be at $750M by the end of the week. Of course our favourite Youtubers won't care.
Will be there couple days later though.

It's goddamn typo, ugh.
It will break even at end of week one, when gross will be $570mn not $750mn.
If that's accurate I believe that's a faster breakeven then Infinity War. Holy crap.

In the US cheap Tuesday gets bigger and bigger. Monday/~Wednesday down bcs of that, ppl who decide during e.g. Sunday to watch a movie in a cinema pick if possible more and more Tuesday for the cheaper price. Hence one of many reasons why direct comparisons for movies 2 years and more in between their releases are not always 100% good for weekdays, but usually still good to a degree for weeklies. Tendency down here too, for the big, or long waited blockbusters, fan-driven ones at least
Discount Tuesdays were big even when I left in 2016 but I can imagine why with how expensive movie tickets are. I had movie pass when it first came and paid $360 for the year. I saw at least 75 movies that year so it wasn't hard to break even.
I worked at 6am back then and often finished by 130pm (no lunch just grind and finish) and I often would go see a movie and then pick up my kid after.
Definitely getting Alist when I move to Washington in May. They have a classic and upgraded theater both within about 20 minutes of where I'm going to live. In England for single tickets, cheapest day is Monday. I saw Captain Marvel for 5 pounds, normally the price was 13.49.

It's pretty obvious the $750M is NOT the breakeven point. Captain Marvel's budget was $152M and the most Disney has spent marketing an MCU film was Infinity War with $150M+. Unless you wanna insinuate Disney decided to spend more money marketing Captain Marvel than Infinity War there's no way the breakeven point is anywhere close to $750M.
Which it absolutely did not. Here in England I saw little to nothing in Cambridge promoting Captain Marvel. Contrast that with Infinity War and there crap everywhere.

If true, I think fans too often do not realise them doing damage to their franchise
And the cinemas
Indeed. Screencount has plummeted from 3802 to 2374 a 37% drop yet on Monday Alita did $140 per screen in the US. Massive jump to $229 per screen on Tuesday however it did that last week and plummeted the next day.

It's based on what I saw here in my country, there was a much bigger and expensive marketing effort for Captain Marvel than usual.
I bet Captain Marvel is net profit by Saturday

How long did it take Infinity war to break even? Probably what 9 days?

Do people really think the studio gets all the theatre takings or that marketing costs nothing?
Its normal that a tentpole movie breaks even at 3 times its budget.
I would gather it has more to do with the fact that it's nowhere near 750 million to break even and the fact that it will recoup most of it's cost just from America alone. It's going to be a big profit maker and frankly I'm glad it was after Ant Man and the Wasp barely did enough.

I mean reopen for what 10 people to see it? It made like $200 per screen yesterday....

The more I think about bias against this film, the more I hope for big merchandise sales too.
Because there are the (patly very) old men in the highest up positiones or are owning lots of % of Disney, that hindred since ages female o PoC leads, only belief in Spidey, they are the reasosn Black Widow didn't get then nice merchandise designs / way less variations... 'boys dont buy girl-heroes stull' and 'girls want princess stuff ~ only'... also for Feige to have to have to fight a long time for BP... at all and the budgets he got.
Indeed and they were wrong. Female, black, white, male, animation only.... I could care less as many others don't either. I like them all and will see them all. In fact I hope we see even more of it. The more barriers we can shatter the better.

They are making the Monday drop some huge disaster. Like the normal drop is between-10% to -20%. Lol. Aah what fake trolls these YouTubers are.
Flerthers are offended this suggestion of a global conspiracy. There can only be one.

Considering so many have seemed to beg for this film to fail it's glorious to see it do so well. I felt the same about Aquaman. Oddly enough, my 70 year old father even enjoyed that one.

You misunderstood my comment. I liked BP as well, the Chinese didn't so they gave it an 8.0 in Maoyan. And because of that, shorter legs are expected. Which it did.
Now, for CM they gave it 8.8. So shouldn't we expect better legs than BP. That 8.8 rating should result in a 1.8x to 1.9x multiple. But CM looks like it will end with a 1.5x to 1.6x multiple. That multiple isn't what you expect from an 8.8 rating. That's why I said 'unfit'.
Oh no I understand your comment and it makes perfect sense. It's just crazy and I certainly hope for 1.8 or 1.9 happens. That would be much better.

4mn pre-sales for CM for Friday. At midnight shall be around 8mn, that shall be giving Friday of 40mn Approx, which looks like too much going by trend so far. If that happens, the second weekend will be close to 160mn or $23mn Approx (-74%).
Maoyan predicts 120mn Approx.
I was expecting so low from the film, this looks like extraordinary trending.
how bad is that in comparison to the historic horrific drop black panther had on it's 2nd Friday?

He went little off topic with politics and SJW culture so @DeeCee threadbanned him.
China BO has been missing his input the last few days.
Regardless of where one stands those arguments suck. Might as well start talking about prolife/prochoice or gun control. (Horrible idea as well). I do like comparing the Chinese box office market to others that have shifted. Makes one wonder what it will be like 2030. The quality of their films really seems good, maybe the world will start watching even more.
Can't wait for wandering earth to hit Netflix.

China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30
in China At The Box Office
Posted · Edited by cdsacken
Yeah it's crazy. CM will lose screens super fast as it's dropping like a rock. Gotta make way for the new ones coming up.
