Week 22 29 Aug - 04 Sep 2020 Movies Peninsula: was surprisingly... good. Especially the first two acts. Third act do a bit overkill and climax gets bit too cheesy. This hardly feels like a sequel to Train To Busan, though smart strategy to sell a zombie film, which well worked. 5/10. Alive: 2nd Korean zombie film back to back. It started off pretty ok, was expecting it to explore the 'cast away during a zombie apocalypse theme', but it turned out pretty routine rom-drama in the end. 3/10. Rushmore: I like Wes Anderson films a lot. This was pretty nice but not as good as his last few films. 6/10. Mulan (2020): Its dull and bland with absolutely nothing that works. The action pieces had hardly any energy to them, and neither the emotion worked in the story. However found it better than original. 2/10. Mulan: I only liked the opening 5 minutes better. The rest felt way too casual. 2/10. TV The Boys S02: The first episode was pretty good though 2nd and 3rd felt a bit off. This lacks the novelty of S01 but still pretty good but nothing concrete to judge so far. Let's see how it goes in latter episodes.

$15.5mn Approx 2nd Friday Internationally. $84.5mn Total.

$225k Taiwan opening day. Ugh. TENET was $530k on Thursday and $650k Friday OD.

I mean wherever, whatever.

Last year was really awful for Hollywood in China. Hollywood did mere 18Bn (16.75Bn without Ticket Booking Charges) in China in 2019, as compared to 16Bn in 2015 or 14Bn in 2014. The saving grace were CBMs, which did like 7.7Bn, while in 2014 that was just 2.6Bn and 2Bn in 2015. So without CBMs, Hollywood was 9.5Bn last year, compared to 11.4Bn in 2014 and 14Bn in 2015. Growth in China seems to be way higher for local films than Hollywood. Local films in 2014 were 16Bn, 27Bn in 2015 while 40Bn last year.

Updated prediction are $55-57mn Approx. That $20-22mn is just FSS. 1st weekend FSS in same markets was $32mn Approx, so it will be 32-27% drop

PS for tomorrow seems huge. Around 26mn. Something that will suggest 90-95mn Saturday, but I have already lost interest in the film in China, so whatever. Asia except Taiwan and Saudi Arabia has been a huge downer for TENET.

Good thing is that there is no competition. Yeah Dolittle did $20mn even months after piracy but I have no idea how Mulan gonna do next week. Whatever the case, the film will perhaps have 10k plus shows till end of month, unless it drop badly.

16:00 ¥41mn for TENET. Full day seems like ¥62mn. Weekend seems like ¥210mn approx i.e. $30mn. 800 ¥53mn seems like. Weekend ¥200-210mn.

Same in India. Inception released today will do $1.2-1.4bn on force of Asia.

That's what two of my friends said. They loved in 2nd watch.

TENET Top markets till 03 Sep UK: $9.4mn France: $8.9mn South Korea: $6.4mn Germany: $6.1mn Taiwan: $4.25mn Italy: $3.6mn Australia: $3.6mn Spain: $3.5mn Netherlands: $2.9mn Saudi Arabia: $2.4mn Total: $68.5mn

At 13:00 seems like ¥60-65mn for TENET while 800 shall go for ¥60mn. Tenet shall win Friday closely and 800 will win Weekend easily, unless Maoyan has some fault.

Naa, I am thinking $30-33mn TENET. 800 $33-35mn.

Yeah 800 will win weekend. On Wednesday I thought this is dropping next weekend big but it mantained.

8.4 on Douban is great. It's like IMDb. Should settle around 8 most likely. But yeah seems like Nolan's weakest in recent times just like everywhere else in world.

That's very pre-sales loaded. Almost as much as Endgame.

horny people like @CJohn. American Pie beat The Avengers in Germany, Austria, Swiss and Portugal.

Maoyan was shitty last year at that time iirc. Also it was big film, selling heavy in late hours.

So I called one of my old source for early #s thinking its Friday today, @Eric #RIPChadwick told me he will make thread on day of release. He break it to me its Thursday today. Then realised it's releasing today (is it?) so asked him again, let's see if I get something.
