4.75b is $701m by today's exr ... is it safe to say that AWE is locked to cross $690m total?

Saturday is a working day so Friday is not that strong.

Last Saturday was. This weekend is normal

I'd say more than one ... even considering $650M for TWE, I'd dare to say EG, TLK, EIX at least could be above it ... and given the good reception of Frozen2 trailer ... I wouldn't discard it for a $600M dom too.

If TWE reaches 5b Yuan that means around $735m, not just $650m.

 

Anyway, I agree that there are several candidates in USA to match that amount (my main bet is TLK).

HTTYD3 will have previews on Saturday 23rd.

I'm confused.  I thought last Saturday was part of the Chinese New Year holiday period.

 

Can someone clarify which days were the Chinese New Year holiday period (someone said it only had 6 days this year?)?

 

And was this current weekend a working weekend?

Oh, I was taking Gavin Feng final gross #s estimate (600M+). But if you all say it's gonna end up above 700M++ ... then I'd say there will be a photo finish situation between TWE, TLK, EG and IX imo.

Still in play. But it could be close. Will be easier to say sometime next week

Yeah... This weekend will be around 600-625M, so it will require around 3x from this weekend to reach 5B. Daily holds have normalised now. 3x is neither too difficult, nor is it locked when it comes to Chinese box office.

 

If next weekend drops under 50%, it will have a good shot.

There is a Lantern festival holiday in weekdays, that will help.

 

Assuming ¥610mn 2nd weekend, it will be at ¥3.787 Billion by Sunday. Another ¥400mn in weekdays will put it at ¥4.19 Billion.

I just hope Disney animated movies will get record numbers compared to the average, I want Frozen 2 and Toy Story 4 to do well ^^

Frozen 2 has a better chance than Toy Story 4 though.

How's Sunday looking?

[charlie Jatinder]

Heading for ¥190-200mn Sunday.

[a2k]

Frozen did $48 in China which as animations film go is not bad for 2013. I2 was only $2-3m above that last year.

TS3 did not release in China according to Mojo. Feel Frozen2 should double TS4.

According to Maoyan Toy Story 3 was released for one day (it could be that the daily tracking wasn't available, so everything was dumped onto 1 day). http://piaofang.maoyan.com/movie/727/boxshow

 

It gained ¥177.63m which is roughly $17.2m in 2010 June.

Frozen did that without ticket booking charges, so the gross as per reporting today, would be $51.5mn Approx. 

However in local currency, Frozen did ¥298mn and Incredibles 2 did ¥354mn.

Toy Story 3 as per Maoyan did ¥117mn but all in single day. Weird. But I guess they just put total gross.
