China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

All in yuan

exchange rate changed a bit.

Monuments Men 48M

Peabody and Sherman  121M

Need for Speed 410M

Robocop 315M

 

Many, thanks!  So Rio surpasses Peabody today, still disappointing took them 8 days to reach the level of its very well received first installment.  However, it is kicking Depp's arse early on in Saturday 2:1 in audience count despite roughly half the screens!

Newbie here, ahoy there...avid box office observer in China.

 

Sparse crowds reported on Transcendence its first Sat. Many saying on Weibo they went to a show where they and their companion(s) were the only partons...not great for a first Sat.  Word of Mouth coming off of Friday's shows is mixed to negative.

Welcome on board Archerdude !

Sat estimates???

[zackzack]

Too bad for TRANSCENDENCE, interesting premise but dramatically unimpressive. I really want this project to win.

As much as I love all these big budget genre movies, I want the occasional smarter fares to mix it up....

[Archerdude]

EN group listing Transcendence as just a shade above 17 Mil for OD.  That's way lower than the 22-24 estimates coming out of last night.  Coupled with mixed skewing negative WOM, this doesn't bode well for Mr. Depp.

Sat estimates???

 

Nope, not yet. Maby around 16 hour GWT 

But olive may have them faster because you know... HE is an expert on China

Demon  12.8M (0.18M midnights)

CA2 12.2M 570M

Rio2 lording it over during the daytime...these weekend bounce up for animated's are more pronounced in the last 6 months.

Captain 2 is expected to break $100m on monday

[Bishop54]

I hear Godzilla is releasing in June instead of May 16. Is this true?

 

Not that I've heard, where did you get that info?

[pepsa]

China boxoffice 19/04 (est.)

 

Trans: 25M  (TOT 45M)

Cap2: 24M   (TOT 595M)

Rio2   21M   (TOT 135M)

 

Almost 100% increase for CAP2 and Rio2

Edited April 19, 2014 by pepsa

[pepsa]

So the TOT in $ are:

 

Tran:  $7,236M

Cap2: $95,673M 

Rio2:  $21,707M

 

 

Captain 2 is expected to break $100m on monday

 

 

"(So Cap2 is very close and will break $100m on sunday!)"

Sorry my bad, won't break by Sunday it needs 25M more.. so I think even monday will be hard

Great increases for Cap and Rio, 100% and nearly  200%.

Bad WOM kicked in for Trans, less than 30% bump.

saw some theatres bring Cap back on there biggest screens, at least for a few days.

[baumer]

Cap is going to do 100 mill?  Damn!

Cap is going to do 100 mill?  Damn!

That's going to be eventual now, question is how much far up North if US$100 Mil.  The first one barely broke 90 mil, right?  So close to 7x and well more than 6x.  Rio will be lucky to do 2x at this rate, though it will catch a windfall with whatever screens it can hang on to on the May 1 weekend (loads of local titles hitting)...Transcendence may actually disappear before May 1 at this rate, at least in the US it will.

[Archerdude]

So much for Johnny Depp coming to China...it barely beat Cap's THIRD WEEKEND and Rio's SECOND.  I read in an earlier posting the distributors royally screwed up the visit and pissed off media?  Maybe that played into it, on top of what's apparently bad WOM from those who saw it in China or the US...critics are roasting it!

[Olive]

Trans only made 1M more than Cap with 10%(11k) more showtimes...Both are in 3D.

[Ent]

So Cap may hit $100M in China at the same time it hit $200M at home ?

 

Nice....

there are rumors that Godzilla has been PRed to June (most likely first week of June, 6.7, right after Dragon Boat holiday) by local film people, which is no surprise. Only one of the 34 yearly quota, ASM2, gets in May. In this way, Godzilla will only have 20 days run before it gets replaced by Transformers on 6.27. On the other hand, being so close to each other, TF4 will also be hurt by Godzilla.

 

And dont forget this summer's protection month, which runs 7.17 (Tiny Times 3) to almost end of August, in which no Hollywood movie gets released. If DOFP and GotG are lucky enough, they will be released during the last week of August. Or in September along with Mutant Ninja, Maleficent, JA and others.

Not sure about Jupiter Ascending...wouldn't Edge of Tomorrow be a stronger fit?  Speaking of fits, disaster film crazed Chinese audience will likely lap up WB's Into the Storm as well...whilst the initial trailer looks comical, I gotta think Paramount will push Hecules too...it will be another mad log jam in August-Sept and latter part of October to Nov.  The mad dash to finish up the 34 film quota.
