Parasite

Is this good for Dwelling by the west lake ?

What do you expect for Anatomy of A Fall ?

Good start

5.18M admissions WW, including 3.4M OS.

Passed 3M admissions overseas+ 1.68M in France.

It was not pre-release. It was a midday screening on a workday, in Malaysia, where it is opening today.

Caught a screening of this (first time trying IMAX). Great film, especially the last hour. Show was empty though.

Dune 1 did 65k in previews.

Dune 1 sold 148 admissions. Audience score up to 4.4/5.

Pretty funny that Oppenheimer lost to Simple Comme Sylvain (The Nature of Love) in the Foreign Film Category.

The Zone of Interest is doing really well; it's even going to easily outgross Madame Web. Anatomy of A Fall is still chuggling along in week 26 with 50 000 new admissions and is now close to the 1.6M admissions mark. It's going to get a boost this week thanks to the César ceremony where it is the frontrunner to win Best Picture, although The Animal Kingdom could pull an upset.

I'm hoping to catch it if I have the chance. Many preview screenings in Paris for this and Creation of Gods I : Kingdom of storm (which got an exclusive 2-day release last weekend) were sold out during CNY weekend. Heylight Pictures (who also distributed Godzilla Minus One in France) said they're planning to release more Chinese blockbusters in the future after Creation's success.
