Lagos state alone accounted for a whopping ₦3,344,406,987 at the box office in 2022 from 28 cinemas.
That's 48.1% of the ₦6.9 Billion
Lagos is the biggest city in Nigeria
Funny thing is Aquaman is the biggest Non-Avengers CBM film here in term of box office,Reeve’s Superman is biggest Non-Avengers CBM film in term of admission.
My personal best CBM movie
1 The Dark Knight
2 Watchmen
3 Spider-man 2
4 Joker
5 Spider-man
6 The Dark Knight Rise
7 Capitan America:Winter Solider
8 Spider-man:No way home(for nostalgia)
9 Iron man
10 Avengers:Infinity War
Hope Flash at least be Spider-man 2 level,then $80m is safe belt,If Flash as good as the Dark Knight,$100m+ is doable.
I can't represent general attitude now,but as far as I saw ,Flash got a really great WOM here,everybody who watched the movie called this is 'one of the best superhero movie of all-time',if the movie really great as they said,$80m in China is my target.
Also I’ve heard Korea’s Gender war is really fierce,maybe that’s another reason,Korea women refuse the “male gaze” so they think the heroine of TLM is the progress of women’s right(Even you’re not so beautiful you can still get the heroine position of Disney movie)
Logically I think men care more about the face of heroine pretty or not …I saw many comment in China’s internet also focus on the face and skin color of heroine and attack Disney because of “western will going to hell because of Politic correct..”,all of them don’t give a shit about the quality of the movie,the off-movie thing is their standard of evaulate

2023 FastX(Until now)
FastX likely doing ¥28-29m today,¥1B is not the problem now,F7,F8,F9 all highest grossing HLW in China of its year,F10 maybe hold the crown(while Mission Impossible VII is the big competition)
Horrible movie like The fate of the furious or F9 hurt the franchise power ,but won’t change the fact it’s still extremely popular franchise,F12 even have chance to do over 2B in China with great WOM(F11 over 1.5B)
