Impossible for 2B except its getting re-release,COVID situation is recover but most people still afraid,the street is empty(depend on my mom’s picture),the city center and tourist attraction are also empty)
That's why I said "if it gets an extension". I know it will compete against local juggernauts during the CNY even if it gets an extension, but I think it can still manage to get a significant boost from the holidays.

Looks like A2 will have great staying power as more and more big cities are recovering from covid breakout. It will take some time for the more hesitant people to get out and go to cinema. Hope A2 gets an extension. I am still hoping for 2B.
And I swear to god if BP2 somehow gets a release date in China, I will go back to China for the midnight showing, even though I have watched the movie twice.

MCU fandom peaked around 2018-2019. It's not only about the number of fans but also the level of zealotry of the fans.
Number-wise, MCU fandom probably peaked after EG. But most fans probably won't feel as fanatic as they were when waiting for IW and EG. 2018-2019 was the best time to be an MCU fan.

"Marvel & DC fans in China keep vandalising others film by nitpicking problems like cast once support HK & Taiwan independent or sth like that then inform Film Bereau"
So this is what is happening. lol.
Marvel & DC fans only sabotage each other. There are also many nationalists out there who think they are doing the righteous thing by tattletaling.
And some social media or bloggers do so for views/hits/likes.

I went to IMAX 3D last night and I can say that the visuals in the 2 minute Avatar trailer were more striking than anything in the following 2 hours and 41 minutes of Wakanda Forever.
I can say that the visuals in the IMAX intro/countdown were more striking than the Avater trailer.

《黑寡妇》引进肯定没问题，毕竟之前漫威23部电影都引进了；
《尚气》引进肯定没问题，毕竟漫威总裁都专门发视频纠正辱华传闻了；
《毒液2》引进肯定没问题，电影局只是看漫威影业本部不爽，这是索尼的片子；
《蜘蛛侠：英雄无归》引进肯定没问题，毕竟有机会冲20亿，年底总要冲一冲大盘的吧；
《欢乐好声音2》引进肯定没问题，动画片那么人畜无害；
《壮志凌云2》引进肯定没问题，毕竟腾讯都投资了；
《刺猬索尼克2》引进肯定没问题，你看都官宣确定引进了；
《黑亚当》引进肯定没问题，得罪电影局的是漫威，DC这两年能上的都上了；
《阿凡达2》引进肯定没问题，

Wow reception is quite bad in SK, I did not expect it to be this low. Right now on CGV it is joint lowest for an MCU movie along with Eternals. It is doing better than Eternals on Naver but it is still the second lowest for MCU as well as one of the lowest for SH movies ever.
It is somewhat perplexing given that Eternals rating was bad in India too but Thor's rating so far is actually quite good. I wonder why the big divergence for this particular movie.
Overall multi from 5day total is likely to be sub 2x. MCU movies with low reception in SK typically end up with sub 2x multi like that of Eternals at 1.89x. Exceptions being Spiderman FFH and GoTG2 which had great reception but sub 2x legs and Shang Chi which had terrible reception but 2.31x legs (it did have super low OW so that would explain it). I'd say that total will be higher than Eternals in the 3.1-3.5m admits region.
WoM in Hong Kong is decent as well, not very good, but better than DS2. So I also wonder why the reception is so poor in SK.

If it is true, then let's boogie. 5 pages of doom and gloom incoming.

MoM is a perfect movie for Mother's day: its name is MoM and it's about a mother's love for her kids. Take your mother to DS: MoM.

TB OS is at 395 ? What Markets did the TB open in on Wednesday ? I know it opened in Japan/SK the lowest markets for TB. I don't know, I find it weird.
Many Asian markets have new releases on Wednesdays, including HK, Singapore, Thailand, and SK. I think DS1 did better than TB in most if not all of these markets. So not really surprising. Markets that TB did well (e.g., UK) usually have new releases on Thursdays or Fridays.

Yes they do. They contribute a lot to MCU movies, they skew a lot of them. Don't be so naive.
They need China to get to Top 1. But many Marvel movies can still get to a billion even without China. No way home proved it. DS2 will prove it again.
Of course every movie can make more money with China, but it's already at a point where it's not worth the efforts. Not worth it.

It's not like Marvel needs China anyway. Just a shame that fans won't be able to watch the movie in theaters.
No need to apologize. It is not like this movie was gonna get a green light even before this happened. No need to kowtow to this overly sensitive government and its fragile citizens.

Today marks the third "anniversary" of the release of Endgame in China. "I love you three thousand" has been trending #1 on Weibo for several hours now. Gosh I miss the days when we could go to Marvel midnight showings... [Crying out loud]

How is this compared to FB2 in the same markets? Any news about that?
https://forums.boxofficetheory.com/topic/30072-fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-os-thread/
I don't know how to quote from other threads, but based on what someone complied in the International thread, and if I interpreted the numbers right, FB2 did 91m in the same markets.

Regarding China ban of the big Hollywood movies... here's what I don't get.
What is China main goal with all of this? Is it to have the biggest movie of the year be one of theirs? Or just be the biggest market in the world? Or both?
Because biggest movie of the year is just something they don't have range to. Hollywood will always have the biggest movie of the year in normal years. They should just drop that thought, if it's one they have.
Now, to be the biggest market in the world? Like in 2021?? That's something entirely possible till the end of times. But here's what I don't understand. How they want to be the biggest market in the world without the huge Hollywood blockbusters income? They could have led 2021 by an even bigger margin. 2021 was a weak year still. Recovery and experimenting one. Hollywood is coming back strong this year. And big ones are yet to come.
Am I missing something? The money made in China by Hollywood movies count as China gross in the end of the year right?
So why not release the big blockbusters? Why are they releasing flops?
And I know everything is fucked there right now so whatever. But even before the covid outbreak. Specially before the new covid outbreak.
Because I can tell you all right now, and I would bet my bank account on this, Doctor Strange will never get a release date there. No matter how bad things are, they are still running everything with what's open.
Genuine questions because I don't know much. Is there anything going on China? What is China main goal in the movie market?
That's the million dollar question that no body knows the answer to, my friend. As a Hollywood fan from China, I find this frustrating af.

"Black Widow release date" is trending NO.2 on Weibo now. There is still some hype over HLW movies.

I do hope BW gets the April 30 release date in China. Labor Day Holiday this year is gonna be a 5-day holiday (correct me if I am wrong). BW can easily hit 200m USD in China with that release date.
PS: BW is currently tending on Weibo after the news that it MIGHT be released on April. Marvel fans have been waiting long for an MCU movie.

I love Grace's latest analysis of China Box Office. She called the numbers fake because she didn't think it's possible.

The Dark Phoenix comparison is for trolling right?
Because I can't see any comparison to a movie that lost $120M!
Shouldn't comparisons be based on their performance and genres rather than profits?
By your standard, we might as well compare BOP to MOS or BVS, all of which barely break even. But I fail to see how that's less for trolling.

It's probably just me but I feel like Margot Robbie is overacting as HQ, which is kind of annoying.

I am deeply saddened by this, and a lot of my friends are. Many of my fiends spoke up in social media, asking for freedom of speech. This is the first time ever in my life that I saw people become so vocal in political affairs. Sadly, I don't think it will change anything, but at least we tried this time.

The SB trailer-view-count statistics is so BS.

So happy to see Marvel back!!!! I don't think BPWF can even make it to 300m RMB though, unless Disney decides to postpone the streaming schedule.
