Wow. __________________________________________________ X-Men: Apocalypse enters HK which is coming off a new opening weekend record set by a superhero film. X-Men doesn't have the flair or drawing power to reel in a substantial amount of the general public but X-Men has been growing organically since the first film in 2000. The last X-Men film, Days of Future Past, more than doubled First Class's OW thanks to the 3D surcharges and drummed up 2.7m OW. Apocalypse will be the first X-Men film to gross more than 3m thanks to high ticket prices. Ticket prices for the latest X-Men film will come in $20 HK higher than The Avengers 2 in IMAX and regular theaters will up their regular 3D prices by $15 HK. It doesn't match the super sky high prices set by The Hobbit or Captain America 3 but its prices are still higher than past X-Men films. Pre-sales look decent almost everywhere. It should be able to surpass Star Wars 7's OW despite a $20-$60 disadvantage in IMAX. OW: $3,500,000 Total: $7,600,000 __________________________________________________ The Jungle Book is looking pretty scarce in IMAX. It released pre-selling for IMAX a couple of days ago but most peak shows are empty. Early OW prediction: $1,200,000. I still believe it was a mistake to release this so late. I believe the major players for mid-May to June will be X-Men: Apocalypse, Now You See Me 2 and Independence Day 2.

It's not unusual. It has never happened before. This could be a new trend because the old 4D screen at the Airport would only show the big movies. Essentially it acted like an IMAX. This is a new 4DX screen built into a regular theater but there has never been a 4DX screen that has shown a movie with a limited theater count. Thursday Actuals May 12 LW TW Movie Last Thu.

I'm not sure if it can surpass CJ7 to crack the top 40 but it has done very well to make it to even the top 50.

That is not true. There are many arthouse films that get only 1-3 theaters (Cinematheque and/or IFC and/or The GRAND). This theater arrangement is not new to Japanese anime films either. Doukyusei only got a release in 1 theater last month and played fairly strong as well. There are quite a number of Japanese anime films that have gotten less than 5 theaters in the past few years so it is nothing new. Thursday adm.

Captain America 3 on top. I've decided to add Deadpool and The Mermaid's OW grosses to the chart for the sake of convenience and access to data. I was really torn initially about how to handle it but seeing Captain America 3's numbers come in, I've rationalized that if we exclude those opening weekends because of extra days and holidays then any films with more than 4 days, holidays or both would be left off the chart and that would affect about 50%, possible more, of the above chart. Plus with no access to data, it would make it almost impossible to separate the traditional 4 day weekend from any other additional days or extraneous reasons.

Actuals (including Monday) Captain America 3 - $11,697,665 Zootopia - $6,519,570 Captain America 3 officially passes Toy Story 3 for #8 all time on Monday while Zootopia trots past X-Men: Days of Future Past on Monday. Captain America 3 and Zootopia needed the extra day to surpass the 2 films but both have done very well.

That drop includes opening Wednesday so to fall 63% from a humongous 5-day is pretty darn good. This 11.6m total would put it ahead of Toy Story 3 for #8 all time in only 2 weeks. Finding Mr. Right 2 opened to about what Finding Mr. Right did on opening weekend if you exclude sneak previews. It seems like the fanbase is stagnant and hasn't grown at all since the first film. It has a decent-good chance of surpassing the first film. I Am A Hero opened quite soft though it did face 2 other Japanese openers this week. Decent hold for Zootopia. It will soon pass Ant-Man and X-Men: Days of Future Past to get close to the top 40. There's still a possibility it can get there if it holds extremely well next week. Poor opening for Hana's Miso Soup.

It's possible but it will need great holds against the openings of X-Men: Apocalypse and The Jungle Book.

The hold looks horrible but it isn't that bad. Finding Mr. Right 2 is a downright disaster. It barely matched the first one's 3rd Thursday pre-sales. I know this movie had special screenings and all but yikes.

Excellent premiere. Loved it. There were a couple of nitpicks but overall I'm just really glad this show is back! Before anyone gripes about building a supercomputer from PlayStations is fake, it is actually real. So is leaving nitrogen tanks out on the sidewalk unattended. The writers have to be commended for actually bothering to do research before putting it into the show unlike 90% of other shows nowadays.

Ryan has been wrong before. He uses calculated projections based off of his own admissions taking program. The actual I got CA3's from is almost always accurate unless if it's a typo. Now that Deadline blurb about CA3's drop from Ultron (-15%) makes more sense. Tuesday admissions Captain America 3 - 23,686 First week admissions: 469,620

6-day Captain America: Civil War actual - $8,156,949 Everything was wildly overestimated? Really? Are you telling me that Batman v Superman had a better multiplier than Civil War because that is not possible.

Monday admissions 1. Captain America 3 - 90,518 (-13.4% from Sunday) 6-day estimate (Wed-Mon): $8,620,000 It becomes the #1 film of the year surpassing Batman v Superman's total in just 6 short days. It also knocks off Captain America 2's lifetime gross in 6 days and has made over 3x Captain America's HK gross. It'll become the 13th release to gross over 10m ever and it'll do the deed by Wednesday or Thursday. It will likely join the top 5 by Sunday bypassing Transformers 4's 12.6m. 2. Finding Mr. Right 2 (previews) - 5,023 (-2.8% from Sunday) 3. Zootopia - 4,811 (+34.4% from Sunday) 4. Trivisa - 1,038 (+8.5% from Sunday) 5. The Boy - 627 (-40.1% from Sunday) Zootopia saw a huge upswing on Monday with no schools in session. Trivisa also did well to increase. Tuesday admissions (so far) 1.

Though it did not break 7m, it mightily impressed by more than doubling Captain America 2's OW (+142%). It will command more than 90% of the market share this weekend and thoroughly thumps Batman v Superman's OW. There were a lot of factors for its success including the extra day, positive word of mouth, high prices and Iron Man & friends returning in the film. The Captain America series is not nearly as popular as the Iron Man or Avengers series but the attention from the Captain America/Iron Man clash made it seem more like an Avengers movie than a Captain America movie. With Monday a holiday, this will zoom past 10m by either Wednesday or Thursday. Finding Mr. Right 2 had special screenings beginning on Saturday and will arrive at #2. The first film was a leggy hit so it's no surprise to see the special sneaks doing well. This will open next week and if early word of mouth is to be believed, this should play well within its demographic for the next month. The holdovers were completely dominated this weekend with Captain America 3 taking more than 85% of screens. Zootopia did alright and is aiming for Top 40 of all time. It is sitting just outside the top 40 and if it can hold well next week, it will achieve that milestone. Not a bad hold and total for The Boy. An OK hold for Trivisa as well. It looks like it won't get to The Bodyguard's total. Sunday adm.

So it's being reported in some newspapers/magazines that Captain America 3 made $7.69m HK (994k USD) opening day which means that Batman v Superman was overestimated as well. 7m OW for Captain America 3 might be out of the picture then. I don't know why the big trade sites reported both opening numbers at US$1.1m when they both failed to clear 1m. Very disappointing to read this.

Captain America does crack the 40 showtimes mark on Saturday at The GRAND. On Sunday, it really ramps up with 46 showtimes. 3D is slowly losing its grip but there's still a ways to go before 3D rejection is fully realized.
