It is curious that DC2 could have won too in 2018 after Monster Hunt 2 collapse. But then Operation Red Sea appeared and beat both of them. Detective Chinatown, being so favorite on Friday, will rank again 2nd of the CNY period. As @druv10 says, this can only happen in CBO.

Right now, DC3 OW is at $384m ($350m without service charges). If I am not wrong today it has to finish with 710 to beat EG OW. It needs 55m more and it has done 28m from 18 to 19 hours, and 7 million during last 20 minutes. It is going to be close.

I am thinking that we can have 2 films over $600m released the same day. But I still think about the 1 billion film

2 film released the same day in the same market making both over $800m? WTF

Maoyan is already predicting 3.77b for Hi, mom. That means #5 all time. We have two monsters: one meh after initial expectations and another unexpected. This is why I love to follow CBO

Well, the ranking of top grossers both DOM and WW is full of mediocre films. This is not any novelty

658 million with current ER.

About this, when DC3 beats WW2, the #1 in China will be bigger than #1 DOM, the #2 in China will be bigger than #2 DOM, ... until 4th spot. It will be the first time it happens. Before DC3: DOM vs China (I use current ER for Chinese grosses) 1. The Force Awakens (936) vs Wolf Warrior 2 (880) 2. Endgame (858) vs Ne Zha (778) 3. Avatar (760) vs The Wandering Earth (721) 4. Black Panther (700) vs Endgame (658) After DC3: DOM vs China 1. The Force Awakens (936) vs Detective Chinatown 3 (over 1b) 2. Endgame (858) vs Wolf Warrior 2 (880) 3. Avatar (760) vs Ne Zha (778) 4. Black Panther (700) vs The Wandering Earth (721)

Do we know if there will be DC4?

almost 5 times? A bit lower. China 1.4b vs USA+Canada 365m = 3.8 times (and with quite lower ticket prices) Anyway, yes, China is giant with still a long way to grow in BO (mainly in no so big cities or regions). Said this, I do not know if DC3 will be beaten so soon. The current number 1 (Wolf Warrior 2) was released 3 years and a half ago. BTW, with 1.017b Yuan it has already matched Endgame OD ($157m)

And 9.6 for "Hi, mom". It seems clear which will rank 2nd in this CNY.

And finally 1b Yuan OD

The target of OD record (EG's $157.46m DOM) is about 1.017b Yuan, with last ER I have, which is 6.4582 (Correct me if I am wrong). It will be needed photo finish.

$147m OD... at 15:30

Sorry, I had not read well

257m is the cume of the whole market not just for DC3

Just to think in $400m is absurd, but $480m $500m OW... no words

At 00 hours: 673.5m

And let's not forget the other releases. "Hi, mom" is already at 150m presales for OD.

620m at 21:00 That means 36m in last 2 hours. If it keeps that pace, it would land at 00 hours at 674m ($104m)

Curiously, that means about 156-157 million dollars, exactly EG DOM OD (including previews)

You were saying 630m 9 hours ago and now it is targeting 40m more... it seems absurd. How much can add along the friday, maybe enough to reach 900m OD? or maybe people will wait to upcoming days to see the movie? I do not know how it works the walk-ups in this kind of days.

550 at 16:40 If I am not wrong, biggest single day ever is for Endgame (4th day) with 552m, so DC3 has beaten it with just presales...

We have to wait to see the reception of the movie, but seeing anticipation and presales level I think there is a chance. And who knows if within some days we can talk about the chance of being the first $1b film ever in a single market. For the moment, the OW could beat the $357m OW of Endgame DOM. Right now, presales for the whole weekend is at $95m.
