Didn't Disney use to distribute local films in India? They just stopped because of BO uncertainties. If I remember it correctly, Disney is the local distributor for the successful film Dangal.

They owned UTV Motion Pictures, they produced and distributed local films. In 2016 they left production and local distribution. Not only Dangal, but they also distributed Chennai Express and PK as well, 3 of last 4 biggest Bollywood grossers of all time.

You really think Disney still gets 65% from AMC? I kinda don't. 

 

My understanding is they set the price for cut at $9 which is way below what they charge for dine in everywhere.

It's a divisive topic. Some suggest 500 WW opening. Others suggest less than 500 total. I think it will do good but some expectations are just crazy.

Endgame Maoyan interest now at 737.2k, topping IW's biggest daily increase for the 5th day in a row.

Yeah also saw this, waiting on what numbers Feng will post. At this point 2m is looking extremely likely.  (It did 47k-48.5k today)

Holy cow!

[pepsa]

So yeah if we use 737k today that would mean that we had an 48k increase.

Lets say it bottoms out at 38k for the next 10 days with an average of 40k => 400k then we have 11 more days. Next 6 days about 60k => 3600k and the last few days could get over 100k average so atleast => 500k.

 

If we count that up 1997k by then end of april 23rd.

daily increase was 50,991

Yes, Wednesday 24th. Likely no midnights. 5-day opening, but that Sunday is a workday.

No midnights? Why?

I don’t know why, it’s just what I’ve heard more knowledgeable people say 🤷‍♂️

 

Presumably related in some way to the non-Friday OD.

Review embargo not lift until 6AM 24th BJT.

And no midnights in Australia, so we suspect it will not have midnights in China either.

Still nothing has been confirmed, I've heard Disney still want to schedule midnight shows

Scheduling showings before the embargo lift sounds really fun tbh.

It has midnights in Belgium but then again very different timezone. 

I think they should do midnights everywhere with this demand.

Hmm... Quite unusal opening it will be... Second week also seems unusual...

 

Hoping for 1.5b+ opening.
