that would be the lowest gross China for a CBM since.. Fantastic Four in 2015..?

but I guess Shazam wasn't expected to do that well there anyway

I expected it to do well in China because they like fun movies. I even expected a Maoyan rating of 9+. Guess I was wrong.

is OW still going for 40-45?

I see just 201m/$30m

I don't know why I keep reading $45m with tomorrow PS so low(8.4m, maybe going to 10m) and a 7.9 rating

Am I missing something?

MN      6

OD   102

Sa      55

Su      38

Tot    201m

Serious detachment in that analysis. Impressive, curious to see how close you are. My guess is pretty close but I'm worthless on China thus far lol.

Chinese reaction to Shazam seems very strange to me. Anyone who has seen any trailer or marketing for Shazam would clearly have seen that it is a very childish movie. So why did these people even show up to Shazam if they didn't want to watch a childish superhero movie?

 

Going to a Shazam movie and then be angry that the movie is childish is as rational as going to a horror movie and then be angry that the movie was scary.

I'll be surprised if Shazam does well in China...it has all the elements they didn't like about Spidey Homecoming: small scale, low on action and visual effects.

I'll quote myself on this. Maybe that's why they're calling it "childish". I think especially the general public expects a big spectacle. Aquaman and Shazam in this aspect are total opposite IMO.

Kinda interested to see how Far From Home does. Judging by the teaser they seemed to have upped the spectacle.

Hmm interesting well End Game will have zero issue there. Should be nuts.

[charlie Jatinder]

Shazam India WOM is mixed as well. Will end in same range as Wonder Woman or lower.

Will not reach 100m let alone 110m the way it is going. It did only 0.7m in the last half hour. If we go by Gavin's numbers on the last page then the total is even lower than what maoyan is currently showing.

[Michael Seng Wah]

The number stops at 94.98m since 855pm till now while P Storm keeps increasing. I guess 30m opening weekend, 50m total run?

Not sure what is going on with the OD numbers for Shazam, still frozen. Sat PS might get to 11 though if it doesn’t slow down too badly.     

 

MN      6

OD   102(?)

Sa      64

Su      43

Tot    215m/$32M   

 

For me

Most Chinese theaters don't show movie trailers, most audience don't watch trailers before they watch movies.

Shazam becomes the first HLW superhero film that never hit #1 in like many years or forever.

 

I agree on 210m OW but with a ~70m Sat.  Thanks to the fact that literally nothing opens next weekend, a 300-350m total is still possible. Closer to 300 or 350m will depend on next Friday's bump.
