Bluebomb Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) The Viral Factor (逆戰) Director: Dante Lam Cast: Jay Chou, Nicholas Tse Production Budget: $17 million US Filming locations: China, Hong Kong, Jordan, Malaysia, Middle East, Netherlands, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam Languages: Cantonese, Putonghua, English Release dates Asia China - January 17 Singapore - January 19 Malaysia - January 19 Taiwan - January 20 Hong Kong - January 21 Pacific Australia - January 26 New Zealand - January 26 Non Asia-Pacific US - January 20 (limited) It'll definitely recoup its budget with China alone. Singapore/Malaysia/Taiwan/HK should combine for about 5-15m total. Australia/NZ seem to be limited release only. Interesting thing about this movie is that it's getting a US day-date release with Asia. Prediction: 40m Edited January 10, 2012 by Bluebomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Lightning Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It's getting a very limited release here, so nothing big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebomb Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) No, it won't be. A lot of its gross hinges on China. I see something like 20-25m total there. The way that the holidays this year fell will allow movies to co-exist with each other there. Taiwan could do 5m but to me I feel that is the most unknown. It could go way higher than that or bomb. HK will do 3-5m. Singapore/Malaysia might do 2-4m each. Edited January 12, 2012 by Bluebomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
