Wouldn’t be surprised if this market has one of the lower increases from FFH however. The maguire experience didn’t really happen the same way.

I don't think that will be much of factor, besides Spider-Man trilogy was big in China, just that BO was small back then.

 

Also there are 140M+ 15-25 years old in China. 44% (38M) of EG audience was under 25. This is the age group that grow up in Cinema boom phase so quite aware with Hollywood.

Now its worth talking.

¥2B in 5 days. ¥5B (~$775M) should happen, I guess may be ¥5.5B ($850M) is quite possible. For ¥5.5B need ¥4.05B by Sunday.

Yeah, looks like this turned into a real juggernaut after all. Nice.

[Valonqar]

Holy shit but no surprise: patriotic action movie + pretty actors (at least 1 idol) = Chinese megahit

So two of the highest grossing film of the year will come from China with almost no overseas exposure? The movie is having very similar momentum like Hi Mom. Hi Mom had 5 days with over 400m rmb while Changjin already have 4 now.

This means no hollywood movies for a while.

Not at all. The next ones are already dated and far enough away to not really interact with this run.

Cinemas can't survive on just 90 days of festivities and holidays.

Local films always have a better hold in China. I do not see any film other than NWH out-grossing F9. So this year, we will have three Western Film/Hollywood films in TOP 25

You missed the biggest film of year. Venom 2. NTTD shall be in Top 25 too. 

IMO

NWH
V2
F9
GvK
NTTD
Free Guy

6 films in top 25. If Eternals get a release than will probably lead to FG missing. Unlikely but never know if Encanto break out.

 

[Issac Newton]

Free Guy will not stay for long. If I talk about NTTD, it will definitely leg well (Daniel Craig's Last James Bond Film Effect). BTW, I totally forget about Venom. Venom will also tear in its arrival on Nov. Thanks for reminding me about the Year's most anticipated film in China.

If Venom 2 opens 1st week of Nov, NTTD’s legs might be cut short.

Fun times nonetheless, big release opening every weekend is a sight to behold.

Far from Home legs vs Venom 1 legs

Umm NTTD gonna get hurt if Venom 2 arrives at First Week. Nevertheless, I will hold my excitement low. Still, will say I can not expect much from Hollywood this year. As Marvel TOP 3 (BW, SC, Eternals) all are getting cancelled out by CFA. I will only find things interesting only when Dune can double out Blade Runner. (Also when there is at-least minimum 3-weeks gaps between NTTD and V2. Or else, I will wait for Avatar 2 ! 

[Gavin Feng]

$75M on TUE>MON>SUN>SAT>FRI>THU.

 

Amazing holds even thought it's national day period. And I guess Deadline would really be happy that DUNE's opening win Changjin's fourth weekend if workdays do not fall badly.

And Maoyan is forecasting WED>TUE, finally over 500m. Presales are very similar to these previous days, over 80m, so it seems possible that forecast.

[charlie Jatinder]

Ok finally WW2 seems to be going down. Hi, Mom I think hope was lost after weekdays but this seems to be heading there.

[Legion Again]

Is this going to be the record for days over 400?

If I am not wrong, yes, it is making 6 days in a row over 400. Hi, mom did it 5 days in a row.

[CJohn]

Is Marvel still banned or has a date for Venom been set?
