Wednesday was Chinese valentine day

¥186mn ($27mn) 2nd Saturday. -9.5% last week. Total ¥1756mn ($254.4mn).

 

Shall do ¥175-180mn tomorrow.

Amazing run indeed. If there are not too many big movies releasing, this could chug along for couple of months and gross $4B yuan. Without COVID this could have challenged Wolf Warrior.

I would like to think that, but sort of trending WW2 had even in normal times, this is nowhere close.

 

May be additional $100mn to $500mn.

[titanic2187]

So far, 800 run is not some lost control beast like Wolf warrior 2 or ne zha that hugely overperformed in their 2nd week from the already huge opening. 

 

The drop from the diluted by preview opening number suggest that this will have standard leg from now on.

 

 

[charlie Jatinder]

I expected a drop on Sunday, but this seems like will increase, flat at worst. Crossed 100mn at 15:15. +10% yesterday currently.

[charlie Jatinder]

added 45mn in last 4 hours compared to 55mn yesterday. more likely 175-180mn as expected last night.

Chinese audience are going to see mulan on Sep.4 for free. They f-ck up the date

Congratulation disney, you will find thousand of thousand of piracy copies leaked out naturally all over the website.

 

We Asian (except maybe Japanese) have a motto, pay and watch it in cinema or pirate it freely at home. There is no such thing as pay to watch it at home.

The evening is very depressed. 170mn / $24.75mn. -26% last week. 2nd weekend 491mn / $71.5mn. -15%.

Total 1927mn / $279mn.

 

Lifetime I will guess around $385mn.

This is so true! In Indonesia, if we paid something for something that can be pirated, it will make us look so stupid. In the past VCD/DVD stall was everywhere in the market and they were so cheap. Now it is even cheaper, basically free to pirate a film.

Unsubscribed Netflix for same reason. Amazon Prime and Hotstar are really well priced, but Netflix is priced ridiculously.

 

Felt like an idiot, also spending more data on similar quality for nothing. A 1080p on Netflix cost like 6GB while pirated is barely 2.5GB.

I just need to follow some facebook page and they will provide us some near Blu-ray quality movie. The bigger a film, the faster we can get but the quality sucks,, I remember I can't get any decent quality of EG until 2 months later since opening, and for that, I was sort of "forced" to watch EG twice in theater....Still, that experience can never be replicated elsewhere like home.

How about Netflix? No subscribers there either?

[charlie Jatinder]

There are but they aren't very common. People know and talk about them, but hardly anyone really subscribe them.
