Nope. The first actuals that I posted were from a site that slightly inflates weekend grosses/totals. Last weekend, MI5 made 6.368m according to official numbers which is the number I used to make projections for this week. Someone pointed out to me that the daily increases were wrong for Saturday. Below is the corrected version of Saturday's admissions chart. Saturday August 29 Rank Movie LW TW WKD % chg QD % chg 1 Pixels 15,829 16,760 +5.9% +40.5% 2 Inside Out 18,387 13,046 -29.0% +83.4% 3 Hitman: Agent 47 18,543 10,379 -44.0% +47.7% 4 Undercover Duet -- 10,107 -- +54.7% 5 Hero 2015 -- 6,182 -- +115.4% 6 Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation 9,843 5,975 -39.3% +98.6% 7 Knock Knock Who's There? -- 5,665 -- +23.6% 8 Wild City 10,230 3,598 -64.8% +60.7% 9 Assassination -- 3,400 -- +66.9% 10 To the Fore 4,126 2,602 -36.9% +57.3% 5 PM Sunday update: Inside Out has already surpassed yesterday's admissions. It is currently behind Pixels by 600 admissions. No other film in the top 10 has beaten yesterday's admissions yet. Also, it seems like Pixels won't be getting the same Sunday boost as last week.

Excellent hold nonetheless. Very good for Inside Out. Not bad for Hitman. Nice increase for Undercover Duet. Hero 2015 had the worst increase of the top 10 but was hindered due to limited showings. Good hold and fantastic increase for Mission Impossible 5. Good rebound for Knock Knock after yesterday's drop but negative press has already started to seep into its weekend gross. Sunday adm.

By next weekend, it will have passed 3m and while there will be a huge slowdown in ticket sales after next weekend, if it has the stamina, HK could actually take down France as one of Pixel's top 10 markets. Meanwhile, in a far away universe, Inside Out has clawed and legged its way to 8m. Whether it happens on Day 39 or 40 is irrelevant, what will be key in determining how much it grosses its remaining days here is the holiday on Thursday. If it does really well, I could see theaters be somewhat forgiving and giving it an extra week with a few showtimes. 9m is very much alive and while 10m is looking unlikely, Monsters U and Minions better look out. Hitman: Agent 47 might be a flop stateside but in HK it is very much the opposite. This action film should be able to make 2m before leaving theaters. Undercover Duet failed to ignite local viewers to see it. Not a good start. Reviews are not bad but another local film will make headlines next week. Knock Knock Who's There? looks like it will manage to squeak out a victory over MI5 for #5 but ranking aside, that is a very low opening. Mission Impossible Rogue Nation is doing its damnedest to get to 7m and while it had an OK hold this weekend, the onslaught of new films on Thursday might kill any chance it has of 7m. There is the possibility that MCL will keep it over say most of the other holdovers (- Pixels/Inside Out) which could be the ticket for 7m.

Knock Knock Who's There? also did really well with walk-ins, accounting for 82% of its final admissions today. Apart from 7 PM showtimes, Hero 2015 was nowhere near a hero with the other showtimes.

It is aiming for an increase this weekend in admissions but the switch to 2D by most theaters could affect its gross by a bit. Inside Out seems to be affected by Pixels which has seen its week-to-week drops grow larger beginning from 29% last Thursday to 40% yesterday. Inside Out has already passed 7.5m and will pass Jurassic Park: The Lost World today to join the top 20 highest grossing foreign films of all time. By the end of this weekend, it should pass The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to be #14 of all time. Weak start for the new openers. Hero, however, is doing the best in pre-sales so far with strong 7 PM shows. Good hold for Hitman although its Thursday hold in final admissions will be much larger.

Buoyed by IMAX and 3D prices, Pixels has managed to become Adam Sandler's best opener ever together with his first top 3 finish since Grown Ups in 2010 and his first #1 in 7 years since You Don't Mess With the Zohan. Sandler's last movie to gross over $500,000 in HK was 7 years ago with Bedtime Stories. His most recent films that were released in HK did not even cross $300,000 on opening weekend. Hitman posted a solid number even though it's the end of summer. It might be flopping stateside but in HK, it performed quite well especially given the amount of action films released in the past 6 weeks. The HK trailer made it seem like there was going to be lots of action and the action crowd turned up. Rotten reviews from critics are not the case here as most audiences are enjoying the film. What could have been a very disastrous weekend for the openers turned out not to be the case and that impacted Inside Out's 5th weekend. Pixels has been posting solid numbers across Asia and it hampered IO's staying power this weekend. Although it will win Sunday, it won't be enough to catch Pixels but it might be able to slide into 2nd if Hitman falls hard or if it has a resurgence in admissions on Sunday. Whether it passes 8m by next weekend or not, 8m will for sure happen because there will be a holiday on September 3. If it can hold on well next week, it will pull off a very strong holiday performance which would send it beyond 8m. 9 films will come out next week and then 8 more on September 3 but none of them will target IO's audience directly. Wild City was the only local language film to open and it was nowhere to be seen. It might have suffered at the hands of To the Fore which opened poorly but has recovered due to strong word of mouth. Mission Impossible 5 edges closer to 7m which will happen by the following Wednesday after next. Overall, its performance has been pretty good.

Inside Out came back and is right behind Pixels for #2 in admissions. It is currently about $40,000 behind Hitman and $60,000 behind Pixels for bragging rights this weekend, which it can make up on Saturday and Sunday. Weak increase for Wild City.

Despite some theaters switching Pixels to 2D this weekend, it has not really shown that same walk-in explosion that Hitman has done on Thursday/Friday. It should come in 3rd today in admissions. Inside Out will win Saturday/Sunday in admissions but will it be enough to catch Pixels in gross? I expect IO to come in with 21,000 admissions for the day. Not good for MI5. Weak for Wild City.

It accounted for 89% of opening day admissions but in gross it will be much closer. Pixels has IMAX + 3D and that will narrow the gap by a bit and Inside Out also has 3D showings scattered about. In gross, it will probably be Pixels #1, Hitman a close 2nd, Inside Out #3. Opening day user scores have come in and Pixels stands at a very good 4.4/5 (nooooo!) and Hitman begins with a 4.1. The reasons why both are scoring well with viewers despite scathing critic reviews are that Hitman is an action movie and action films generally score very well here while Pixels has the small-big effect. Take Gulliver's Travels, for example. It was panned in North America but it was a huge hit in HK grossing 4m. HK has some affinity for these types of films and combine that with the 80's video game nostalgia and you've got a nice recipe for success. Very good hold for Inside Out despite direct competition. Wild City experienced a similar explosion in walk-ins like Hitman. Not a bad hold for MI5. Terrible for Attack on Titan. Another solid hold for To the Fore. Mediocre holds for UNCLE, Paper Towns and Doraemon. In 11th place.... 11 Fantastic Four 5,707 687 -88.0% Yikes. That might be the fastest drop ever for a 1m OW grosser. Friday adm.

Some have given Wild City the biggest screen/most showtimes, others have given Hitman: Agent 47 the most showtimes and still others have dumped Pixels with more showings than any other opener. Pre-sales have Hitman and Pixels battling it out with each other with Wild City struggling. While We're Young/C'est Si Bon are getting play in less than half of the theaters in this theater chain. Inside Out is getting the biggest screen at a handful of locations including Palace APM. That is considered to be a major victory bearing in mind it is in its 5th weekend. Some theaters are retaining all or almost all of its Wednesday showtimes while the others are reducing it to 3-4 showtimes. Even art-house theater Cinematheque is still showing this. Usually by now, they would have dumped this for another indie movie. Pre-sales remain high at its strongholds with a 5:1 advantage over Pixels, 10:1 over Wild City and 20:1 over Hitman: Agent 47 at one theater on Friday night. Mission Impossible 5 gets cut in half while Fantastic Four is a major loser down to just 1 showing on Thursday, a loss of 80%. Other major losers include The Man From UNCLE which is surprisingly gone at Palace APM and To the Fore. Paper Towns has split the theater chain: one group has decided to give it 1 showing, the other has it on 3-4 showings. Doraemon will still get an average of 2 showings on Thursday. Attack on Titan remains on full day showtimes but at a much smaller screen.

What looked impossible just 3 weeks ago has become a reality and it now has a slim chance of even catching both Monsters University and Minions. It will attain a 4 multiplier when it breaks through 7m next week. 8m is a lock even with Pixels out next week and 9m is looking doable at this point. It would be incredible if this catches Minions despite a handicap of nearly 3:1 on opening weekend alone. After all, it already had to deal with scheduling politics from the top 3 theater chains and passed all of their films with ease in just a few short weeks. Inside Out was not the only one hitting milestones as Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation nudged past Ghost Protocol for highest grossing Mission Impossible film in the series this weekend. 7m is still in the works depending on how it does against Hitman this weekend. It cannot have another hold in the 50's if it wants to make 7m. 6m will happen by Thursday. There were some big cheers but ultimately it ended in depressing fashion for Attack on Titan. Thursday was spent celebrating its #1 opening but it fell to #3 on Saturday/Sunday causing it to lose the weekend against Inside Out. #4 was up for grabs and by Sunday we were no closer to finding out who actually took it as Fantastic Four increased in admissions while The Man From U.N.C.L.E. declined. UNCLE has a slight edge with 800+ more admissions than F4 but we'll have to wait until actuals come out.

Back at the top, Inside Out eased just 4% from last Saturday. Pre-sales are starting to take a hit but huge walk-ins suggest that many are willing to see this over other films. At #2, Mission Impossible 5 held well and toughed it out against Titan. It will extend its lead over Titan on Sunday. Titan fell to #3 amid poor reception and a niche audience. It did not even hit 20,000 admissions from a 13,500 opening on Thursday. The Man From UNCLE won a close battle for #4 against Fantastic Four. Reception seems to be decent. Meanwhile, Fantastic Four was looking awful during the afternoon sinking as low as #7 before revving back up to #5. To the Fore was in the top 4 for a moment but did not have enough showings to stay there for the whole day. Great hold. Excellent for Doraemon.

It has passed 6m and is already #4 on the animation list behind Toy Story 3, Minions and Monsters University. By next weekend, this will pass 7m and if it can survive the next 2 weeks, there will be a holiday at the beginning of September where it has the chance to earn more money. Mission Impossible 5 took 2nd away from Attack on Titan and in the process overtook Mission Impossible 4 as the biggest film in the franchise. It will approach 6m by Wednesday or Thursday and if it gets past Hitman, it will hit 7m. Attack on Titan stormed out of the gate and went for broke on Thursday but as reviews came pouring in, it killed its chances of #1 this weekend. Broadway/AMC really went all out by putting this on 2 screens but as Friday pre-sales came in, they knew they had to upgrade Inside Out or lose money. Altogether it will open at #2 including previews but its true Thursday-Sunday opener will come in at #3. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. did not make a big dent this weekend. Many theaters could not ignore Inside Out's previous weekends and Mission Impossible 5 is still playing fairly well. It opened at a bad time and would have done more with a different date. There simply was too many action/spy films in the past few weeks: Ant-Man, MI5, Fantastic Four all took potential admissions away from UNCLE along with Inside Out. Fantastic Four barely scraped it together to stay in the top 5 but it will lose more than 70% this weekend. With Hitman coming out next weekend, 2m is looking bleak.

It will be smooth sailing from here on out for IO until next weekend when another action spy movie and a live action-animation movie threaten its spot at #1. No surprise that Titan decreased from opening day. The opening day rush factor coupled with the horrific reviews spelled disaster. Still not a good hold for MI5 but at least it is catching up to Titan. At this moment, MI5 will beat Titan for #2 without Titan's previews but including them into Titan's opening weekend makes deciding who will be #2 or #3 a bit trickier. Let's see how Titan does today first. The fight for #4 is going to come down to the wire. Obviously Fantastic Four is wilting quickly but UNCLE is not doing that well either. Meanwhile, To the Fore could actually beat out both for #4 if its word of mouth propels Saturday/Sunday over them while the other 2 lag behind. Not good for Paper Towns. Solid hold for Doraemon. Awful hold for Ant-Man. Weak for Minions. Saturday adm.

I think Inside Out will either stay flat or increase from last week today. Poor for Attack on Titan. Good for To the Fore. Bleh for UNCLE. Decent for Doraemon. Abysmal for Fantastic Four. It would be a major feat if it missed out on the top 5 in its 2nd weekend after opening at #2 with more than 1m.
