Ready Player One is going to make more money in China than Pacific Rim.... 

 

Can barely wrap my head around that.

RPO is at near 85mil by 10pm, possible to hit 100mil?

[NamakFiskKa]

Can you please also include the USD at needed places from further on or just a brief translation of these milestones in PS to Final total figures in million dollars

[Olive]

PRU can't even beat BP, LOL

[Michael Seng Wah]

RPO seems to end at around 93-95mil OD = 15mil USD OD including previews 

 

Presale for tomorrow starts at 21mil = 3.3mil USD (as of 2230 local time)

 

*I use Google for the currency converter 😀

Maoyan predict 1.6N($250M)for RP1.it's a bit too high.But at this point,10bn（$150M+）is  not far away.Saturday presale is 24M(+85%）Maoyan predicts Saturday 175M（+90%）crazy😳

Maoyan changes prediction from 760+mil to 1.6b, breaking out like Zootopia?

 

Ratings is steady at 9.2, lowest at 9.1 and peaks at 9.4

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I dont see 1.6B yet. 1.2B is the target.

[POTUS 2020]

Sunday and tuesday will be the key holds. if they both bump  a little, 1.5b will be locked

Need to see

Fr   87m

Sa 165m +90%  PS at 27. should do at least 6x with OD doing 5x

Su 175m  +6%    -25% is standard

Mo 80m   -55%    -66% is standard 

Tu 85m    +6%    -15% 

if it could do that it should bump the following weekend depending on screen counts. There are several releases on wed for the holiday, nothing looks big yet. Itll lose a lot of shows on wed but regain them through the weekend

I am very pleasantly surprised at RPO's breakout. I thought it was a fantastic film personally, but I just didn't think that heavy sci-fi reliant on nostalgic references (most of which are from the 1980s Western pop culture) would sell that well in China.

If the overall adventure is Universal, fun and fast paced then a break out is possible regardless of that issue.

There are hundreds of millions of game players in China.No matter RP1 is about 1980s nostalgic references,it's all about game itself.Warcraft cross $213M.RP1 could be around $180M

that was hardly surprising and not really relevant to what I was saying.

 

Ready Player One is a movie that is built on nostalgia for films that were never released in China. 

Pacific Rim Uprising is a movie that was built from the ground up specifically for Chinese audiences.

That was just barely the icing on cake. 

 

RPO is an action-adventure movie with great set pieces first and a nostalgia fest after (that's coming from a guy who haven't even read the books and doesn't get a hard on whenever DeLorean comes on screen).

 

Also this movie is about MMO and China's young online gaming population might just be the biggest target audience of this flick
