Fullbuster Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I could see the Chinese loving this, and for some reason they seem to like movies about monkeys. I just hope they will give their chance to BATB and GOTG2, they need to contribute to the global box office 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobSaibot Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The only reason why I'm hesitant to jump on board even the $100m+ club for China is because Peter Jackson's King Kong was released almost 12 years ago. That was a long time ago, and things are different. But like others have said, the market's been strong, so who knows? Still, I'm very skeptical of the $200 million prediction.

I do not know if it can be able to make tons of money in China, but it is undeniable that this is the kind of film that has a chance to breakout. IMO, over $100m is quite likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookson Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 My original prediction of 400m os seems to be about right. Though, if it breaks out in China, it could potentially do more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el sid Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) In Germany the first trend (insidekino.de) says Kong:Skull Island will have around 325k admissions this weekend which would be a little bit over the expectations. And a lot over the expectations I had looking at its reservation numbers in several theaters yesterday. But Kong is definitely a film for walk-ups and not so much reservations. Normally this source (insidekino.de) is very reliable but the first trend is often a little bit better than the second. Yesterday Kong had 36k admissions (actuals) here in Germany, was #1 and earned around 380k Euro/400k US$ (what a terrible exchange rate). Logan stayed strong with 28k admissions. And according to cbo-boxoffice.com Kong stayed #1 yesterday in Paris-Periph./France. Edited March 10, 2017 by el sid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s factoring in $15.5M yesterday on about 20K offshore screens. All overseas markets (65) are now open, save China and Japan which come later in March. Ahead of the weekend, we had an international opening range of $65M-$85M. Some rivals had even considered a start closer to $100M, although that seemed — and still does — a high-end...... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marveldcfox Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 frankly poor opening in international markets. I believe 2005 Kong opened to 80+ in its 1st weekend in overseas markets without china and japan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually,King Kong once was a hit in China.It's 5th highest film In 2006.It's the 4th foreign film to cross ¥100M,right behind True Lies,Pearl Harbour and Titanic.Few films can hit ¥100M at that time.It's a Big number for China 10 years ago.It's a fast developing market. Kong's release date is perfect.One week after BatB,most imax screens can keep.One week before Qingming Festival.There will be a holiday benefit on 2nd weekend.$150M now is likely.$200M is not impossible.presale is strong Edited March 18, 2017 by bangbingchan 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
