Guardians of the Galaxy is opening in China on Friday. In celebration of the opening,Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn tweeted out a translation of what Guardians of the Galaxy is being called in China. The name for Guardians of the Galaxy in China is Interplanetary Unusual Attacking Team.

I'm expecting +75m for GOTG. Maybe close to 100m.

[Quigley]

I want whatever's necessary to bring it above Maleficent in WW grosses (after taking Italy into account as well).

I want whatever's necessary to bring it above Maleficent in WW grosses (after taking Italy into account as well).

Why?

[Quigley]

Why?

 

Because then it become's the second biggest summer film of the year. If it ends up doing $30M in Italy, it won't need $75M in China to surpass Maleficent, so even $55M in China will be satisfactory.

You can rule out that 30M hypothesis. In recent years, foreign blockbuster even struggle to 25M dollars (last year, only Frozen passed that mark), and superhero movies rarely post strong business here. 10M $ looks more realistic, with 15M as an optimistic possibility.

I also laughed when I saw that $30m prediction

[Hernan Gonzalez]

The Marvel space romp grossed an estimated $26.6M, scoring the No. 1 spot for the weekend, and the 3rd highest opening weekend for any Disney release there after 2013’s Iron Man 3and this year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It was also good for an all-time industry record opening in October. China now is catapulted into the No. 3 position among GOTG’s top offshore markets, behind the UK and Russia.

Guardians’ Middle Kingdom release comes during a month when Hollywood pics are packed wall-to-wall ahead of the big rollout of local movies that jam the year’s end. The film went out on Friday, just after the close of the National Day holiday week and saw its Saturday play likely dented by the fact that it was a designated working day, making this a non-traditional weekend. It’s estimated that $4M of the opening gross came from 165IMAX screens, giving them around a 14% market share. Still playing in 22 territories, and with the first China frame factored in, GOTG’s global gross to date is $687M. The domestic portion of that is $326.07M; overseas is $361M. Italy has yet to bow, but is looming on Oct 22.

Another case where the chinese report ($30m) is higher than the US report ($26.6m).

[TServo2049]

Isn't it every week? The sources for initial U.S. reports of China weekend numbers are almost ALWAYS off (usually they're too low).

[Quigley]

I hope that, unlike what Paramount did for TF4 and what Fox did for Apes 2, Disney's actuals will agree with EntGroup and that they will be above $30M.

Chances of surpassing Maleficent have improved significantly.

Another case where the chinese report ($30m) is higher than the US report ($26.6m).

 

$30M seems a bit high as another source estimated it at around $28M (3 days)

 

*There are 2 sources which provide everyday est numbers in China.

[Quigley]

$326.1M in NA and $363.9M elsewhere for a $690M worldwide total.

(China managed $29.8M according to actuals)

It also made $5M in China on Monday so it's already at $695M.

The photo finish for second place (which ended up not being a photo finish) was quite interesting.

GotG 28M,                    31.3M

Annabelle 27M               28.1M

Gone Girl 27M               26.9

GOTG should pass TASM2 WW tomorrow and Cap2 WW on Saturday!!!!

[picores]

Around 30-35m more from China and 10m from Italy would put it at 750-755 WW. I hope it can pass Maleficent!

 

My guess:

 

333 DOM

425 OS

758 WW

[Leyla]

Congrats GoTG!!!  & the power of Marvel!

 

 

 

. I hope it can pass Maleficent!
