OW will be inflated by holiday weekend.

RIO2 next week, will be big here.

 

How high can it go with 40M OW?

Don't think it will open that high, presales are not impressive so far.

[Lordmandeep]

TA 2 in China should increase by what 50 million from TA?

Are you coming down with firedeep's optimistic virus infection, Druv?

I read that Johnny Depp will be doing some major PR for Transcendence. Can this make Transcendence a 50-60M earner in China?

He already did.

But I don't think Transcendence will be a big hit.

IM3 already increased 30M+ from TA.

TA2 could hit 1B yuan if it has a good release date.

lol, no. I'll be happy with 60M total.   

[kaijukurt]

Is Godzilla's late May release here a favorable one?

[Olive]

[Olive]

[Donald]

So CA is falling behind!Guess its gonna be an uphill climb to defeat the dragon

[fmpro]

I still have faith in 200 mill+ OW

[John Marston]

does Cap have any competition? Competition is the main factor in China box office it seems

[Olive]

April 4th: CA2

April 11th:Rio2

April 18th:Transcendence

April 25th: local crap movies in coming

[keysersoze123]

i think even with lower presales it will open higher and have better legs. Plus competition is weak and so it will have a good run. How about something like

 

35m OW

40M (mon - sun week)

15M

10M rest of the run

 

 

~ 100M

I like your thinking

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Presales dont matter much. I would be very surprised if it opens lower than DoS.

Last three numbers all seems too high, especially "10m".

[fmpro]

You think 2nd week will be lower than OW?Flat is more possible?

Well, that didn't go well: various media outlets here (including CCTV, Hunan TV, and Sina.com) are claiming events and interviews they had set up through DMG (the Iron Man 3 people, who are releasing Transcendence here) were canceled at the last minute. Probably the most significant from a PR perspective was a fan meet-and-greet with a bunch of fans already gathered at the venue. Supposedly DMG never informed Depp's camp about these "commitments." There are also claims that DMG swiped some of the ideas for the canceled events, like a guitar performance and a calligraphy "lesson." On top of that people had trouble understanding Depp at the Q&A because of translation and equipment problems. Lots of angry microbloggers and critical news coverage out there. There may be more to the story, but this is how it's being presented at the moment. The good news is that few people blame Depp himself, but the bad news is that his film's Chinese distributor is being flayed alive and Depp's first visit to China is basically a PR debacle.
