I think it was @No Prisoners who said (at that point of course) that with a "gun to his head" he'd estimate it would do $250 million! Then the bottom fell out! Now we won't even get half of that!! Reveal hidden contents Two big ifs we're in play there. Pre-sales keep growing and OD explodes, they died right after that comment, Bets were off at that point. And decent WOM. A movie can explode in China and quintuple expectations or stumble out of the gate and close in 10 days. It had worse ratings than most HLWD tent poles in the last year.

It's only gonna make $20 million more after that? I don't see how it only does $20 million more after $100 million in 9 days. With bad WOM and 6 new releases, it could drop over 70% next week. Even 80-90% with more openers the following weekend. There is no mercy china. Edited January 14, 2016 by No Prisoners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect a drop aroubd 70% For this weekend yes. But if it continues to slide, next weekend could see 80-90% with more releases coming. Meant to write "following weekend". FTFM Pre-sales are the same for Friday as they were thursday but the pre-sale multi is higher on a friday. Could be 4x instead of 3.5x. It will win friday, 2 locals have more pre-sales but a local opener is usually just 2.2x PS. With the reduction of screens it is looking to bump just 15-20% today. . It may lose tomorrow to a local. With more screen loss and a new release breakout it may bump less than 50% on sat. Thinking as a low end possibility 35m Fri 52m sat -73% from just sat total, not MN 37m sun -73% Edited January 14, 2016 by No Prisoners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not out gross M15 By Sunday?I think TFA will be very lucky close to MI5.Most people don't believe it.when weekday drop hard,TFA might not beat T5.100M is always the right expectation for TFA.

bangbingchan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 According to Forbes, The Force Awakens' "speculative $150 million finish would be a larger Chinese total than Spectre ($83m), Terminator Genisys ($112m), The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies ($121m), Iron Man 3 ($121m), and Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation ($136m). In fact,TFA is only locked $100~110M now.It can only beat Spectre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mepal1 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Talk about burnout. Considering its big start in China due to the marketing push, and to seeing the film out of curiosity, it looks like the Chinese view SWTFA as just another SCI-FI film. You can understand why, as the original trilogy was not able to of been shown in China, therefore the Chinese have no history to connect with this franchise, except for the poor 2nd trilogy. Plus its not part of their culture. You could expect that for example, how would a Chinese film franchise go down in N.America and Europe, the films could be popular, but not to the stratosphere levels of home grown films. SWTFA is losing thousands of screens each day in China, and that's even before other big films, are released soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
