Have presales opened everywhere? My friend got his ticket at Kinopolis but apparently, Cinestar and few other chains are yet to open bookings
EG's Indian BO will always be limited by the number of screens. Maybe wishful thinking but I'm still hoping that it can do $60M.
IW was so far ahead of the rest of Hollywood releases that it had reached almost saturation levels in urban centers in the first two weeks. Movies like Baahubali has the vast rural and tier 3 and tier 4 cities that it can collect money from.
How's the marketing for Endgame in China? I've had some Chinese friends say that Disney botched the IW marketing there especially in the rural and semi-urban regions. Going by Weibo, there's a ton of anticipation but I wonder if this is an urban phenomenon. Rural crowd is what usually gives a movie long legs.
Honestly, Marvel should focus all their resources on marketing this in China, especially the rural and semi-urban regions. I'm betting that a record opening is on cards there but Chinese legs hugely depend on how much the rural crowd joins in. This is how movies like Wolf Warrior 2 make $870M.
I would have bet on this if the release happened in December. April/May doesn't enjoy holiday legs, especially when freaking Pikachu comes out in two weeks
