Demon Slayer sales are huge in 3 theaters I checked. May be $400K OD. Donno how it will trend, but if normal may be A$2M weekend.

Well none of us here actually watched it or Chinese film have any significant presence on Western social media to see if they are received well. Only refrence is Maoyan and Taopiaopiao score, which were crazy good on day 1 after crashing in following days. Besides we have seen many many local comedies which work only with locals making ton of money. So despite finding the trailer awful, I still couldn't assume that this will get bad reception. Not helping was the fact that trailer of DC1 and DC2 were bad too.

May be term I was pointing was longevity of the event. Theatrical release give weeks of feel of event. OTT release is weekend and done thing mostly. In fact can be made from Netflix shows and weekly approach. Stranger Things is probably biggest show currently. But Netflix dump it all in once approach means it's peak hype last just a week. While something much smaller like Wanda Vision is getting much longer span of hype.

That's so close to random calculations I did. Let's go for this one.

Opening may be a bit spread out but LEGS should be 😍

Except that we were saying/seeing it missing $700M on Sunday itself.

I take it this is first time ever you are tracking CNY. If No, What else were you expecting? From Day 2 we know here that DC3 score isn't good, so it will be keep going down. 90% drop, 30% drop etc is all noise and no one should pay any attention to that. The box office for CNY is to be tracked on daily basis, weekend/week drops can have no implications. What do I care about 90% drop of DC3 when it is already at 1.6x multiple from $400M WEEKEND, when any film dropping 90% will not even cross 1.5x ideally. Yes, ofc. It started with most shows on Day 1 and then it started losing shows to film with better WOM during the holidays, so they keep growing and DC3 keep dropping, still doing big numbers.

Excited for Spider-Man 3 here. May be A$60M plus. 🙂

Finally Xmas for MCU film. 😍 Let's make some records.

You are coming from Biggest Holiday weekend, has Saturday as workday in 2nd weekend. What else are you expecting?

Off-topic but may be it will be close. Last week, the sequel to a big local Malayalam blockbuster released on Prime Video. Drishyam 2. The original was a massive hit in 2013. Got remake in all major language industries in India and even got remake in China, which grossed $200M. So the sequel released and surprisingly got a great response, which was surprise because first one was such perfect film. The film got good response online during the weekend, and now its done and silence. <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/trends_nrtr/2431_RC04/embed_loader.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> trends.embed.renderExploreWidget("TIMESERIES", {"comparisonItem":[{"keyword":"drishyam 2","geo":"IN","time":"now 7-d"}],"category":0,"property":""}, {"exploreQuery":"date=now%207-d&geo=IN&q=drishyam%202","guestPath":"https://trends.google.com:443/trends/embed/"}); </script> A Blockbuster got a really good sequel and yet within one weekend its all hype seem to have died because almost everyone who was going to watch it, watched it. If released theatrically, this one could have probably the biggest grossing Malayalam film. The daily box office updates, hold would have kept discussion alive. Since not almost everyone has watched in one weekend, the opinions would have kept coming for atleast 2 weeks. Now nothing. Without theatrical, films seems like will lose their event status.

I don't know what you all talking. Pretty normal trend.

Tom and Jerry $350K weekend.

Reopened. Weekend Est. Shock Wave 2 H$6.5M WW84 H$4.5M Soul H$3.5M Demon Slayer H$1.2M / H$30.3M total

And its a race to ¥4B. Hi, Mom currently stands ¥3923M while DC3 stands at ¥3986M (¥3978M excluding ¥8M grossed last year). Including ¥8M from last year, DC3 certainly has edge but excluding that, it may be close.

My top 2 missed the list. Trial of Chicago 7 Run

India its 19th March. Assume same for GvK.
