Presales as of now: Monster Hunt 2 - 174M Detective Chinatown 2 - 101M Monkey King 3 - 49M Operation Red Sea - 32M The total presales for the day is a massive 381M, it only needs a presale multiplier of 2 at the minimum to be the biggest single day ever! (Currently 806M on 28th Jan last year) EDIT: Also Monkey King 3 has 44M of presales for Wednesday as well, where it appears to be the only significant opener (45% showings and 85% of box office so far) Edited February 12, 2018 by feasby007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operation Red Sea isn't a typical CNY release...Chinese audiences often opt for more family friendly fare over the holiday...that said, it'll probably catch on a little later in the week vs. Monster Hunt 2 which will probably be fairly front-loaded.

Gavin Feng Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I heard Monkey King 3 is very awful. It may have bad legs like Buddies in India. Red Sea is good. But family audience especially kids and women want to see Monster Hunt and Detective Chinatown. I guess good WOM won’t help Red Sea to beat them unless Monster Hunt and Detective Chinatown are another Journey to the West 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 With 495m total presales for CNY and counting, February 16th 2018 is already the 13th highest grossing single day at the Chinese box office. It currently needs an average presale multiplier of 1.63 to top the charts. So basically it's like 99.9% locked to happen, unless this CNY performs extraordinarily oddly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Final presales: Monster Hunt 2 - 294.1M Detective Chinatown 2 - 174.2M Monkey King 3 - 85.1M Operation Red Sea - 56.7M Boonie Bears 4 - 42.1M Totals: 678.4M Presales and ~355,000 showings. This makes the day, in just presales remember the following: 2nd best single day ever (behind 806m, in front 645m and 603m) Most showing in a single day (needs checking fully, but has beaten every day I've checked by 30,000) MH2 has the 4th best opening day for a single film, just in presales MH2 has the 13th best single day for a single film, again just in presales A presale multiplier of just 1.47x gets February 16th to 1B single day gross, first time ever! EDIT: Also should note that Maoyan is forecasting the following totals: Monster Hunt 2 - 4.297B ($677m) Detective Chinatown 2 - 2.525B ($398m) Monkey King 3 - 869m ($137m) Operation Red Sea - 1.955B ($308m) Boonie Bears 4 - 704m ($111m) Edited February 15, 2018 by feasby007 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presales have been open for over a week though, which I think is much earlier than Thor 3/JL, still though, this is looking decent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a good predictor of the WOM in China. Depends on where you look. I would say the WOM is mixed to decent in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as in South Korea. The film is doing very well in East Asian regions because the Chinese New Year is the most important holiday over there. Usually the festivity goes on for a week or two. Schools are out mostly. It is the film preceding Infinity War and Marvel has become hugely popular everywhere. The film doesn't need great WOM to succeed. On China's movie review site Douban, it currently has a rating of 7.0 from users who have seen the movie outside China, which is average. But Marvel is also very popular in China and it should do well regardless of WOM. It will also benefit from lack of competitions. The current big movies will be at the end of their runs by then and there aren't other major openings for a while.

bangbingchan Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) WoM is not that optimistic for Black Panther.it's 6.9 right now on douban.it's the most mixed WoM since Captain American(6.5)and Thor(6.7).It's even before wide release,even justice league is 7.4 before release on Douban(Now It's 6.7).But GA WoM is more depend on Maoyan score not Douban.BP won't got Maoyan score till March 9.Though Tomb Raider(March 16)won't be big,Lara will occupy IMAX Screens.So do Pacific rim 2(March 23)Competition is not that weak in March.BP won't have any CNY holiday as other Asian regions did.My target for Bp is still GotG number Edited February 28, 2018 by bangbingchan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weaker WOM hasn't affected its boxoffice in any of those regions. Many people are excited about Infinity War in China and they will go see Black Panther to complete their Marvel collection. There is no need to worry about its boxoffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
