So which is the total? I have seen tweets from Gitesh and others saying $107M and others $116M. Which numbers are true?

116mn is number what you basically see for China boxoffice, which include Ticket booking charges.

 

107 is actual gross.

Not sure if serious. Regardless of where covid hit and when, the whole year has almost no relationship to general BO strength of a market. When people ask “when will China pass DOM” this is clearly not what’s meant imo. 
 

Thus, asterisk.

I mean there could be short/medium term damage to way BO works and china with more plexes/screens could continue to out gross US not just in 2020 but even in 2021. China could keep building more smaller screens and ultimately they have an advantage of 4-5x population of US.

As I pointed in that thread, its no longer matter of building theaters or anything. Its about exchange rate now.

 

Last year China did ¥64bn plus but ER was shit around 7, giving 9.29bn in $. ER of mid 2000s would have it at $10.5mn beating USA.

Is The 800's over-performance gonna hurt Tenet? I mean it's still over a week away from release.

[Liiviig 1998]

More like 12 days away . I think it would done most of it's box office by then. Unless it's gets legs that take it to 400m+.

[Legion Again]

Monday looks like a monster. Put me down for 400+

Yeah, 2021 may also need an asterisk if China is running (mostly) normally for 12 months and US for just 9 or something. 2022 I think will be safe to remove covid asterisks from yearly results.   
 

It’s possible that China would have beaten DOM under normal conditions too in a year that has to get asterisked, but the ambiguity of counterfactuals is why you can’t give either a clean win.

Is there any chance for the 800 to pass Bad boys for life for the biggest movie of the year? (At least until WW or BW)

The 800 seems really leggy so far, if it keeps it up it could have some impact, don’t think it’ll hurt Tenet too much on opening weekend but later on in Tenets run it could start to take away screenings. Tenets late legs (if it has them) will also be hit by the local films opening October 1st. I’m still thing around $100m for Tenet in China. 

[Legion Again]

I have a hunch that 800s 4th wknd will beat Tenet’s 2nd. But let’s see how 800’s 2nd goes first 😛 

[Legion Again]

Hey.   
 

Just noticed we had a perfect ¥800M weekend, and nobody pointed it out yet???

TENET unknown plots and cast are self-injurious behaviors on it's buzz. And the more serious question is if Mulan come on the same day.

Why is official China box office app numbers lower than website @Gavin Feng

Yeah, was going off this and Maoyan website showing 803, both round to 800.    
 

Hopefully the final agreed upon number that’s still the case.

I am literally so pissed on finding that official CBO App numbers aren't accurate.

[charlie Jatinder]

Seems like ¥165-175mn today.
