The movie has no big visual effects moment in the trailers. That is the problem. 

 

You could be right about that... Then lets blame Disney for that also

What could Disney do to correct that  ? Have you seen the movie?

It wouldn't be a big weekend if @BKB IS CAPTAIN AMERICA Somehow didn't get banned.  It's like a tradition.

 

Not that I want it to happen, nor should others

Hopefully his marathon showing and all of his other showings this weekend keep him busy.

Disney's global domination continues.

22-25 mill was what i were aiming for

Both Ep7 and BvS were around:  Midnights*12,5=OD

 

And 250-300 mill yuan were in the cards for a long time.. Its not anymore IMO

 

Ooookay... but isn't 17M about 120-125M yuan there? W/a similar multiplier, it definitely seems like it will beat 200M yuan at least. And again, don't forget that SW7 and BVS were much less consolidated in China than Marvel movies (although, CW could be that much more frontloaded by comparision, on the other hand). Still, not quite excellent, then, I guess?

 

Maybe WOM can propel the weekend multiplier and OD a little up.

200 is never good if you hope for 250 mill+

I'm a little bummed they are using Spider-Man in CW as opposed to Man-Spider...

Amazon says my copy will ship tomorrow, and since there's a distribution center in/near Orlando I could get it Saturday

I think this will depend on WOM more than other action blockbusters. I don't know how popular Spiderman is in China, but the trailers used him as the money shot as opposed to a giant CGI explosion spectacle.

Number of midnight screenings seem to be a factor:

 

F7 (Sat): 11,000/7.0%

Ultron (Mon): 7,850/5.6%

Transformers 4 (Thurs): Can't find # of screenings/4.43%

Cap 3: 5,488/3.2%

 

 

No wonder the China midnight previews were so low. Hopefully, it expands to more theaters on Friday.

Wait, is it the actual estimated midnight preview numbers or just presale numbers?

Midnights est.

At least you guys are getting a nice steelbook, the US version has a backwards spine, no embossing, and stacked discs.

[filmlover]

They should've said Deadpool's DVD release for the next International Women's Day.

That would have been a long ass wait.

Yeah, that's kinda true. Though, in all honesty, if we conveniently turn the 41.48x multiplier from the 1.35M midnight to 56M OW of Batman V Superman, and place it on the 2.6M that CW had, that'd still be a 107.8M OW (702.50M yuan). Wouldn't that be good?
