China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

[Gavin Feng]

A bad news after good one - The Eight Hundred have half the chance of debuting on this weekend.

 

 

[TigerPaw]

The distributor - Bona Films will be a laughing stock if Eight Hundred doesn't debut. Because IpMan4 was poised to win the weekend with over 500m yuan, really a stupid move. 

Presales for IpMan4 on Friday is already more than 10m yuan, with few days to go.

What is more likely, F2 doing over 100k today in SK or 4 more movie date switch ups in china this weekend 🤔🤔🤔

This is not even close. The former is a 50/50 for me

It did try to change date to Jan 1st.

 

But Film Administration refused it and forced it to open on Dec 20 to boost December box office.

Bona.

 

didnt you see the Jan 1st release poster from last night?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Angel Has Fallen announces opening on Dec 31st.

 

This is another movie at one point killed by censorship. Somehow it managed to resurge. Not even Chinese censorship can stop secret service agent Mike Banning.

Why do you think 500m?  I project final PS to be low 20s.  OD 70m,  OW 250m based on standard metrics

 

SW9 Wed 7pm preview PS at 4.95m, will finish 5.5-6m with 30k+ shows.  18-22m Wed.  Thur PS, OD, at 2.88m with 46k shows.  Will probably finish with 5m+ PS.  20m+ OD.  5 releases total spread out on the 29th, 30th and 31st. It has 11days to make money

 

@Olive or anyone else, with no Fri or Sat releases, but Sun, Mon, Tues releases,  Are they turning weekend into workdays and M-W a holiday?

TROS had a very good jump totday in OD presales, will go over 3.2m by midnight With todays boost it should atleast do 6m ps's in total probably 6.3m or so.  A 4 time ps multi should give it close to 25m.

 

As for tomorrow it's PS will be 5.25m by midnight, and because it are nation wide previews starting at 7pm I guess it will have a decent amount of walk ups so probably 10m day tomorrow.

If Ip Man 4 is handled by other studio, it could make ¥700-1,000M. But now it may not even reach 400-500M, which means potential $30M loss.

Yes, but Bona and IpMan4 weibo did not official say they are changing the dates. All I know is within 12hours, things remain unchanged. Not sure about Government not allowing them to open after 2019
