which is why NTTD's Eurocentrism proved an asset. No "will they won't they" release it like China. Money keep pouring in even if it flops in China where Bond was never big.

Rare case to see gross of China > DOM for Hollywood movies.

 

Bond actually had the potential of $80M but hitted by CoVid-19, that has affected pre-sales on Sunday on OW. But, WOM &Daniel Craig visit has somehow save it from being a disaster. (OD Pre-sales were lower than Dune)

Way better hold for Dune than I expected. I genuinely thought we'd see another 60+% drop with the loss of PLFs. Wonder if softer than expected Eternals helped cushion its fall.

But it did needed that $50M in China to get over F9, without that it would have remained under.

Well yeh didn’t F9 do $210m in China? Remove China and NTTD is easily the bigger hit. 
 

Venom 2 needs China. Have they banned all Marvel or just MCU?

MCU is blacklisted for deceiving President Xi Jinping. While Sony is at his waiting room, expecting a late November Release date.

maybe Disney is too busy to report numbers because little Bob ask Kevin Feige to add Toby & Andrew into every next Marvel movie for saving the future of MCU.

It will be interesting, now that China has put so many more hurdles and uncertainty into getting movies released this year...their money may not be as avidly sought for big blockbusters in the future...

 

Oh I think it will be. It's a huge market and you don't flip off a huge market. Disney may look like a hero for saying no to cuts demanded by very small markets but if China asked they would oblige. It's just that China beef with their director is something only the director can fix and she won't pull a John Cena by the look of it.

Over F9 yes because it faltered in US. But it would have passed 500M OS without China which is not the case with F9 (over 300M w/o China).

I’m sure I’ve read that they’re blacklisted for now? 
 

Your posts are verging on difficult to read without any caps btw.

Great for Dune! If actuals go just a little bit up we could get 84M.

How many countries and where it still has to open?

[Issac Newton]

Eternals : From $100M+ OW to $71M 😟

[titanic2187]

-33% sunday estimate drop for Eternal from 24.1m, seem a bit aggressive here.  

[keysersoze123]

Good estimate. Sufficient to stay above 70m. 

[TwoMisfits]

Deadline is tell you what it thinks:)...

 

"Sunday AM: Refresh for more analysis and chart Disney was able to keep Eternals intact throughout the weekend hitting a $71M opening amid mediocre audience exits, and the worst reviews for an MCU title of all-time. But know that when this film first landed on tracking four weeks ago, many had it in the $80M-$85M three-day range. All in worldwide, Eternals counts $161.7M."

More...

 

"Eternals’ strongest play was in the West and South with big cities pulling in the money. Imax, PLF, 3D through Saturday were driving 37% of ticket sales."

 

Still no demo breakdown yet...

Edit to Add b/c this is interesting arthouse data...

 

"Despite the solid hold here by Searchlight’s The French Dispatch at -3% for the weekend from an additional 417 theaters (with a current count of 1,205), I hear business is largely being driven for the Wes Anderson movie by 150 core runs. Essentially, despite the flood of arthouse product, the sector is still waiting to breakthrough during the pandemic. Perhaps, down the road, when we finally don’t have to wear masks in public."

The fudge is strong in those Eternals estimates.
