And see how well it did in Asia

CNY box office is dead. It’s official now. All new movies changed their release date

Seems like the virus situation is worse than expected.

Which makes “no one asked for the trailer” imprecise and exaggerated (to the point that it annoyed me). I always wanted this trailer. The first trailer was mediocre and not baddass enough to warm GA up to it. This one does the trick. It showed great action scenes which is more appealing to many.

Booooooring. No one asked for this comment

I don’t visit this forum a lot, but could someone please @me or PM me when this guy finally, if he’s ever going to, admits his mistake in a few days?

The Matrix is very well-known and considered by many to be one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. I doubt the sequel will be as good as the original ones, especially the first one, but if it gets close, then it will definitely pull big numbers in China. I believe the action advisor/choreography director of the Matric franchise is Yuen Woo Ping, who is probably the most famous choreography director in HK. He is also the choreography director for CTHD, and many other Wuxia movies. That’s why many actions scenes in The Matrix look very eastern.

I am Chinese and I only speak for myself. SW is one of the few franchises that I just can’t comprehend. I grew up watching hongkong action movies including Wuxia fantasy movies, and I think the choreography for those movies are top-notch. In comparison, lightsabers fights are very silly and clumsy to me. Also, the concept of force is not appealing to me. Have you ever watched a Chinese Wuxia movie like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in which people suddenly fly on bamboos and walls like gravity doesn’t exist? I think the way westerners react to that kind of scenes (wtf is going on?) is how I react to the force concept. All in all, the elements that define SW movies happen to be those that keep me away from SW. GoGT and interstellar don’t have those and therefore I love them, and they are highly rated and well received in China. But is SW willing to pander to Chinese market by abandoning these elements? Of course it won’t coz that’s what SW is about. So my conclusion is SW in pretty much hopeless in China (I just realized I said I only speak for myself but now I am generalizing to the whole market)

I live in a small city. The nearest theater I could find from the list is 200 miles away from where I live. It’s three hours drive.

I am so hyped for Ip Man 4 but I am in the States and no showtimes around me.

WW84 will cross 350m. It’s almost a lock. BW is not an ant man level of SH. I mean, take a look at the trailer views. It will be close to 300m, if not over. Eternals is a wildcard. I hope it will surprise me (in a good way) like GotG did back in 2014. Internationally, Minions, Mulan, and FF9 are what we should look out for. Mulan is a wildcard internationally. If reception in Asian markets, particularly in China, is good, it can easily become the highest grossing movie worldwide for next year.

True. HP is kind of in the middle now.

Since this is a Chinese box office thread, let’s say that most Chinese audience will agree that: HP is not trash JW is not trash SW is trash

Actuals: Monday: 187m Tuesday: 193m Official estimate for Wednesday: 190m (won't be surprised if the actual goes up)

Gavin has a lot of inside information when it comes to CBO, but is not as good at box office prediction as POTUS and a few others are here.

Also, FFH will stay flat from yesterday or see a slight increase. Pretty good.

Maoyan numbers are running faster than the numbers shown in the official app. Maoyan has to slow down. In the official app, FFH is higher than Looking Up. FFH is the only one that is lower in Maoyan than in the official app. So it might be the only one that will get an bigger increase in the next few hours.

Heard Ne Zha is very good and has a shot at 2b!

+15% Flop.

15m？

Solid numbers. Should have better legs than CM. Hope it does better than CM worldwide because it’s a better movie.

Phase 3 IW: 10/10 Far Frome Home: 9/10 Civil war 8/10 Endgame: 8/10 gotg2: 8/10 Ragnarok: 7/10 Homecoming: 7/10 A&W: 6/10 CM: 5.5/10 BP: 5/10

The White Storm 2 will debut in a Cantonese-speaking province today starting from 18:00pm. I wonder how big an impact it will have on FFH’s evening performance.

For me, it's the best MCU solo movie after 2014's CA:WS!

Maoyan number is running faster than the official number. I think 240m is where it will end today. Hope for a good hold tomorrow!
