Chinese theaters will jack up ticket prices if they sense that demand is strong (especially for IMAX, especially for opening day). I paid ~80 RMB for my opening day ticket; a quick glance through Maoyan tells me that one downtown Shanghai theaters is charging 175 RMB for an IMAX screening (the screen isn't even that good, wtf), although most ticket prices for non-IMAX/premium screenings seem to be in a more sensible 55-75ish RMB range (again, in Shanghai, which will be generally more expensive).

The fuck. Granted I've never paid that much attention to chinese market but actual theaters basically doing what scalpers would do seems crazy to me.

I mean sure but we just had price hike last year, with films selling ¥50 during CNY weekend as compared to ¥40 normal. In 2018 it was just ¥35-40. And now again 20% hike when normal prices are still around ¥40. Its insane. Will further increase the diff between CNY and other time of year.

porginchina Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Looks like all the Spring Festival releases are seeing inflated ticket prices… as of now-ish, the figures I've got: 长津湖之水门桥 (Battle at Lake Changjin II) 61.4 RMB 奇迹·笨小孩 (Nice View) 58.0 RMB 四海 (Only Fools Rush In) 57.3 RMB 这个杀手不太冷静 (Too Cool to Kill) 55.3 RMB 狙击手 (Snipers) 54.3 RMB My assumption is that the average price will dip once we edge out of presales into actual sales, but yeah… Chinese theaters are going to try to earn money where they can, especially in a depressed market like we have at the moment. The first Battle at Lake Changjin only edged out Wolf Warrior II thanks to its significantly higher average ticket price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Man DC3 really spoiled the expectations. ¥167M T-2 days. Will probably reach ¥220M today and ¥330-350M final. Eventually ¥600-750M day one. Need big jumps in next 3 days and then final day walk ins. Edited January 30, 2022 by charlie Jatinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that explains but like previous few years slate wasn't exactly great. So perhaps people be like enough is enough? But then Lake Changjin is an ATG with good trending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
