Strong opening in China!

Screendaily: Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk opened in ten markets across Asia with a $13.2m bow from more than 6,600 screens.

It was the top new opener in China, landing second behind Doctor Strange with an estimated $11.7m debut. China, Taiwan Hong Kong and Macau were released by Bona Film Group.

The majority of the overseas rollout begins in January with Brazil on January 19 and Mexico on January 20.

Glad it's doing well in China, Sony dumping it in the US, shame on them for their dumb "tactic".

This didn't do well in Taiwan, OW is only 28% better than Dr Strange's 3rd weekend.

May only make 20-25% of What Pi made in the end.

In Shanghai, a 4K+120fps theater called Shanghai Film Art Center made $631k(￥4.3m) from Billy Lynn on last weekend.Two 4K+120fps theaters located in New York and Los Angeles only did $114k.

Then again, it's only got like ⅓ the budget of PI.

Well, it's great, but Billy Lynn still has the 3rd best PTA of the year in those two theaters. I'd say that number in Taiwan is huge in comparison, but gotta take into account Lee's popularity over there as well, different parameters. Why such a difference between Taiwan & China though?

Flopping spectacularly in the US and seems it deflated in China, hope it can save grace in the rest of the OS markets.

 

Screendaily reports: Ahead of its release in Australia next weekend, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk added an estimated $3.9m from its nine markets for an early $22.6m.
