@Gavin Feng, Venom NOT getting an extension? If so why not? Lowest weekend drop yet + outperforming Infinity War after 1st (Friday--Thursday) week, strong 1st or 2nd place finishes every week, highest rating CBM, etc. Seems like shoein for extension.

Is Tencent not wanting to have two films with their involvement running at same time (Aquaman out on the 3rd), or is it not known yet if Venom will be extended?

Not sure if it will get extension. But when Aquaman comes, it will lose many showtimes. IW had earned $3M for it's second month after JW2 opened. Maybe Sony & Tencent don't care about it.

If they see good holds when Aquaman is out, maybe there is a chance. Maybe already extended run as part of original agreement between Sony and Tencent. Guess we will see soon!

The Wandering Earth

Quote

The Wandering Earth (Chinese: 流浪地球) is an upcoming Chinese science fiction film directed by Frant Gwo. It is based on a story by author Liu Cixin and is set for release on February 5, 2019 (the 2019 Chinese New Year's Day).[2]

The Hollywood Reporter describes it as "China's first full-scale interstellar spectacular".[3]

$50m budget

I love Sci-Fi that is happening not only on earth (in especial, story has at least parts in 'empty' space - means not only around the earth/moon region)

Aquaman earns very positive reactions from press screenings today in some big cities. Theaters managers really love it.

Do people at these "press screenings" write reviews or blogs with a different embargo, or this is all just for WOM?

No embargo at all, they share their thoughts on Chinese Twitter

Sony’s ‘Venom’ Gets Extended China Release; Par’s ‘Bumblebee’ Sets Date

 

Quote

After nearly four weeks of sinking its fangs into the Chinese box office, Sony’s Venomhas been granted an extended run. Through Monday, the Tom Hardy-starrer has grossed $263.6M locally, taking the past frame at No. 2 behind China breakout A Cool Fish. It had earlier held No. 1 during its first two weeks of play, seeing an unprecedented hold at Middle Kingdom turnstiles.

 

Venom, which has a sizable investment from China behemoth Tencent, counts $846.9M worldwide through Monday and $634.6M at the international box office. In China, it is the 2nd biggest import of the year, behind only Avengers: Infinity War. It has been a crazy beast.

Adding about $1M per day in the midweeks, the Sony/Marvel symbiote will be impacted this weekend by the arrival of Warner Bros/DC’s Aquaman which releases Friday. WB has dived in with both feet on Aquaman’s China opening which comes a week ahead of some major offshore bows and two weeks before its domestic debut.

 

In other Chinese box office news, Paramount’s spinoff Bumblebee will buzz over the Great Wall on January 4.

The origin story will look to tap into China’s Transformers faithful: The past two films in that Michael Bay franchise, The Last Knight and Age Of Extinction made $229M and $320M, respectively. At the time of its release, Age Of Extinction set a record (since surpassed) for biggest import ever in the market.

The early January release date Bumblebee has landed upon will see it zoom in after a jam-packed December.

I wish they gave extension to MI6 

MI6 would have made just $1-2m more after losing most screens to holiday competition

Vm may make $3-4m more, just clearing $270m after losing 80%  of shows tomorrow
