IMO, that is already the target: to be the biggest DCU film domestically. It is going to be very close. Anyway, if it finishes with 315 or 335 it is not very important. The run will already be amazing.

June 9th - 15th: 1. Blade Runner 2049 2. Justice League 3. Avengers: Infinity War 4. Dunkirk 5. Coco 6. War for the Planet of the Apes 7. Murder on the Orient Express 8. Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi 9. Black Panther 10. Han Solo

I am thinking around $600m (280 DOM / 320 OS). But I do not discard something a bit higher, like 300/310 DOM and 340/350 OS for 640-660 WW with some great legs.

Sure, Marvel is right now more popular than DC. But the MCU has released 15 films in China. DCU just 3 (SS was not released). That is a big advantage. And two films released at the same time like GOTG2 and WW are not finishing so far one from the other, even more considering that one of them is a sequel and we already know how good sequels use to perform in China. GOTG2 with 685m and WW with 520?... the gap does not seem as big as one could think.

You are lucky. June 23rd here...

Yuan keeps gaining value. It has dropped from 6.83 to 6.79 in 1 day. Not usual this kind of fluctuations. Applying this ER to the whole run, GotG2 would already be over $100m, for example.

ER between Dollar and Yuan is getting better. Today is at 6.83, something that it had not been reached in last months. What I do not if it is something conjunctural or a real trend.

Please, don't start with this shit again. Zootopia: 98% and x10 OW BvS: 28% and x1.72 OW And let's remember that the 20s RT make over $300m in USA too.

This. Nearly every super OS grosser has, at least, one superb market. It is not easy to make today, with so bad ER, $600m OS without the biggest OS market. I have counted 19 films which have achieved it, and some of them would had not done it with today ER.

If WW had not outgrossed both Deadpool and SS in China it would had had a really enormous problem...

My post was just to put into perspective how big is the Russian opening and how big were Russian grosses when ER was way better. The OS grosses must always be measured with the local currencies, not with dollars because you lose completely the perspective. Some people here are making an absurd comparison with the dollars grossed by Avatar, when it was one of the most benefited films ever by the ER factor (with today ER, Avatar would had grossed $62m in Russia instead the official $117m). Let's not make no sense comparisons...

With 2011 ER we would be talking about a +$30m opening in Russia, just saying...

400 (55-60 from China)

Sure. Pirates is bigger in Europe and Transformers in Asia. That is precisely the reason why I think TF will win. I trust way more in Asian people coming back to see TF than in European people going to see Pirates. They are more faithful to their traditional preferred franchises.

There are some holidays in China on Monday and Tuesday too.

TF has a huge advantage with China relative to any other franchise (excepting Fast & Furious). Maybe it will not repeat what parts 3 and 4 did, but just China guarantees 300s million. Unless something really strange happens, I see hard that TF5 can not reach 750-800, enough to go on with the franchise.

May 12th - 18th: 1. Blade Runner 2049 2. Justice League 3. Avengers: Infinity War 4. Dunkirk 5. Wonder Woman 6. Coco 7. War for the Planet of the Apes 8. Murder on the Orient Express 9. Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi 10. Black Panther

A masterpiece. One of my favorite films ever, not only animated. Probably in my top 10 or top 15. Pure magic.

This. It is like Chinese people only devour trash films and they are the only who do it. The same people who complain about Chinese tastes could remember that those films are made in Hollywood and are watched EVERYWHERE. The Transformers saga has grossed 3.2 billion outside China and 1.3 billion DOM, for example. And they could remember too when China makes big grosses with better received films like Zootopia, A dog's purpose or now with Dangal. And I did not read nobody complaining about Chinese tastes when Marvel or Jurassic World or Jungle Book or Interstellar or X-Men or Harry Potter or Hobbit or Apes... did/do great grosses there. People watch good and bad films everywhere, not just in China. Let's be more respectful.

Decrease in dollars but increase in local currency, that is what really matters when we talk about a single market.

Agreed with @picores Very hard to say, like everywhere. If I have to bet today, I would say around 5 million admissions (like SW7), what would mean, with a reasonable 3D ratio, about 35-40 million euros. 1/2 of first part. But I insist, it is a very random prediction.

... and that second part whose name I can not remember... Talking about serious things, maybe we have to wait another 20 years until Avatar is beaten in euros... Such impressive gross!! I did not see it at theaters and I do not find it a good film, but I recognize that Cameron knows how to make people go to watch movies
