Olive Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ok but when you factor in 30 vs 60 days plus the fudge, FF7 comes out on top. FF7 with 60 days probably makes 410-415M instead 391M. Not really, FF7 last day was AOU opening, already down to 1M yuan daily, probably making another $2-3M tops if it was extended. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 FF7 had monster opneing and held really well due to weak competitions and great WOM. MH had big opening and big competitions but had great legs thanks to summer holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MH had big opening and big competitions but had great legs thanks to summer holidays. It had no Hollywood movies to take screens away plus most movies flopped. At least week after week movies flopped only ones to do anything was TMK and JBM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTUS 2020 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Monster Hunt has way bigger competitions, 2 billion movies at the same time. yes,,bigger competition. but it was summer. more overall showtimes and moviegoers to share.

Wed 12 -13.9% -51.8% 2347 379 Thu 10 -11.9% -66.9% 2358 381 Fri 14 31.7% -79.7% 2371 383 Sat 24 71.5% -65.1% 2395 387 Sun 20 -15.3% -55.8% 2415 390 Mon 8 -59.8% -48.1% 2423 391 Tue 1.5 -81.3% -89.1% 2424 391 I beg to differ, different treatment. FF7 was still making good money in its final days. on the last day when AOU opened, shows were cut from 16% to 3%. MH's shows were slowly cut from 20% at the end of 30 days to 17, 11, 8, 6% then 3% over 4 weeks FF7 easily makes $10-15m more given 2 more weeks and proper show count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigley Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Congratulations to Monster Hunt. At least the crown finally returned to a domestic film (rare in these Hollywood-dominated times). As for FF7 fans, just accept it. Comparison is not apples-to-apples but who will care 2 years from now? Apart from a few on this blog, no one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) I don't see how it could make another 70-80M in 2 weeks when daily was as low as 1.5M yuan. People who wanted to see it had already seen it. Edited September 18, 2015 by Kylin Zhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Lost in HK presales are quite good. Monster opening in coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinaTakla Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Lost in HK presales are quite good. Monster opening in coming. What's your expectations for KFP3 in China next year given the current release date and Mermaid coming in 10 days after it?

MrFanaticGuy34 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) I don't know about Mermaid's potential but maybe people in China are overblowing their expectations for that to be huge.... The WOM on that could be good....or it could be bad. Many people expect this to be the next "Monster Hunt"...in terms of local movies. Reasonable maybe...but not very doable, though.

Olive Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 What's your expectations for KFP3 in China next year given the current release date and Mermaid coming in 10 days after it? 300-400M。 It can be off a lot like I predict 200M for minions.

POTUS 2020 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 FF7 was lucky that it had the way better exchange rate compared to right now. only a 2.5% difference for the last 20% of its revenue Japan on the other hand had the biggest move in currency in the last 2 years, 40%. 75 yen to 125y.

So Frozen got screwed in Japan by the exchange rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynosure Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Frozen was around the middle at $1 = 100 yen so it didn't get screwed but it didn't benefit from a high yen either. Still, It grossed less than Spirited Away in yen but more in dollars so it's hard to say it got screwed.

Asyulus Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 300-400M。 It can be off a lot like I predict 200M for minions. More like closer or within 400m for KFP3, or 500m, if its good. Could be another MH record leap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Frozen got screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) I don't know about Mermaid's potential but maybe people in China are overblowing their expectations for that to be huge.... The WOM on that could be good....or it could be bad. Many people expect this to be the next "Monster Hunt"...in terms of local movies. Reasonable maybe...but not very doable, though. It's directed by Stephen Chou. How can it be bad ... he debuted three films in Mainland since, ranking #1 (2004), #4 (2008, CJ7 is a kids flick) and #1 (2013), even a better track record than Zhang Yimou. In China, in terms of box office, no other director does better him except Bayformers (on par) and James Cameron.
