Is the box office boost helped by added fees ?

 

If not, Box office for imported movie (doing box office * imported ratio):

 

2016: 19.051

2017: 25.8085

 

That is a massive boost, 35% !!!!!!!!

 

Back to ridiculous growth with just one year break....

Wow that Screen and Admissions/Box Office increases.

From 2008 to 2017 the admissions sold nearly tenfold, that is crazy.

And a bit more for imported movie or similar ?

 

Anyway if it is 7% of the bo.

2016: 19.051

2017: 24

 

26% growth, less ridiculous than the 35% (I suspected fee must have been added), but still quite unsustainable giant growth (you would double BO every 3 year's at that rate, so a movie could do 3 billion in China alone in 6 year's.....) .

Yes HLWD(+dangal) had a boost but locals had a decline, a shift in money.  2016 had a few tough months to beat vs 2015 with the success of FF7 in April and July and October breakouts in 2015, 2016 saw a lull in BO growth.  CNY will be huge this year, as it was in the beginning of 2016, but can the rest of this year outperform last year?  RE6 XXX and KK surprised with 1b+ in Feb/Mar.  FF8 doing 2.5b again in april. Dangal with 1b in may/june and WW2 with 5.5b in August.  We mite see another flat year unless there are a few surprise massive breakouts again.

I imagine will not be easy for a non Fast And Furious/Transformer year to make progress on 2017 for Hollywood title, with Pixar overperforming.

 

Mission Impossible, Jurassic World, Pacific Rim, Potter, Marvel output, Raider featuring Daniel Wu, both Dwayne Johnson title, The Meg, Bumblebee, Alita, 

 

vs

 

Fate of the Furious

Transformer

Coco

Pirates

Kong

xXx

RE

Despicable me 3

Kingsman

Spiderman/Thor/Guardian 2

Ape

Mummy

JL/WW

Do second half of the year typically increase/decrease or stay around the same as the first half?
