TF4 should be on that list

 

A lot of European countries measure box office by number of tickets(admissions) rather than money made, so maybe that’s why.

Ticket are nearly the same price I believe. @Olive could confirm.  I believe Y35 is about the average

it did 1.976B/$318m

56.4m Adm @35 per ticket

 

PS reached 52m.  260-270m with 5-5.2x

 

Vm did 303 Sat,  223 Sun

223m is the target for Sun. if Aq is close to that, Its dailies will be bigger during the week and beat it

Avengers: Endgame teaser became the most reposted trailer in Chinese Sina Weibo(like Twitter) with more than 130k times in 3 hours. The previous record holder is Avengers: Infinity War teaser with 118k times total. #Avengers #Endgame

Can Avengers: Endgame reach $400 million in China? That would only be slightly more than necessary to overtake F8 as the highest grossing imported film.

[Darth Lehnsherr]

China will be even more hyped for Avengers: Endgame with their favourite character Ant-Man having a decent presence

Aquaman still at 9.5 on Maoyan after 90k ratings.

What's the record?

[Old Spice]

Aquaman total, 5232.63, has literally not budged a point in the last several hours on Maoyan even as others on the list have been steadily selling. Glitch in the system?

[TigerPaw]

Pirated version from China (with Chinese subtitles) spreading like wildfire on Facebook since last night.

 

That's the drawback from releasing in China first.

slapstick was big in the 30s but died off when WW2 hit

westerns ruled for 30 years.....and then died off as well as pirate movies

Realism movies in the 50s 60s and 70s were big, they thought no one wanted to see the fantasy "Star Wars" then they fell off

Disney films fell out of favor for a while in the late 70s-early 80s

sooner or later fatigue sets in or something new comes along

 I say this was the the big one. hard to top

The difference is that SH is not just a genre but also subjects. SH can be made into all genres.

At least one of Ant-Man 2 or Aquaman won't make it (AM2 very unlikely at this point). Still an amazing year considering the top 2.

We have to be near Peak Superhero? I mean, it can't much better(/worse) than this.

 

Is it now? 49.5M.

which one can replace A-M2

Not even kidding. I am sending and reporting the links to Warner Bro’s Facebook page but no response yet. Over 100k views online already... and that’s 2 weeks before the movie releases to the rest of the world.

Meh it’s a cam version

Yup but not sure about the impact.. Pretty sure it wil not impact the Chinese box office. But in many other parts of Asia (EM especially), people can live with a CAM version.

True ...

 

If the movie's appeal is the underwater adventure/cgi/visual feast, seeing a cam version isn't going to stop people from checking it on the big screen.  I can't imagine saying screw the theater experience for that, and guessing it will have minimal impact if any.

Honestly, the vast majority of those people were likely not going to see it anyway then.

Yeah there’s a impact but the headlines of the movie doing good box office > impact of pirated version. In the eyes of the studio at least.

Same thing happened With Jurassic World over the summer and it ended up opening above expectations when it hit the US 2 weeks later.

[TigerPaw]

As of 12.30pm, Saturday gross in China is over CNY75m! Speed should increase faster now that is in the afternoon.

 

Just hope the weather will not impact too much.
