I agree its gonna be pre-sales heaving day for sure. I think it must be a record. Around 312m pre-sales already. So even 2x aint happening. openers would probably do < 2x. I think mermaid will have a good day with reviews saying its decent. It could do 250m. MK2 and Macau 3 will probably do somewhere around 170m+. So Top 3 itself will come close to 600m!!! Rest will make another 50m at best.

 

Also agree the country should support more movies at the same time. I think that could take 5 years at the current expansion rate. at around 400k shows per day I can see 5-6 big movies existing at the same time. At that time we will see 1B Yuan+ single day of BO !!!

Excuse me, but where do you all get the presale data? I couldn't find them on http://111.205.151.7/ and cbooo.cn.

maoyan tends to overestimate. Jiangsen anyway posted sunday number at 15.1m. So it was closer than maoyan for sure.

I'm interested in how Rogue One will do now that China is more familiar with SW. Depending on the competition I can see 150-160M.

[bangbingchan]

Good luck to Panda.

I still believe KFP3 will hit 1bn.

Happy CNY everyone

with increasing screens and showtimes，Rogue one will almost certainly more than TFA.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day, not just breaking single day BO records, but we will see the WOM of each of the top 3 movies and whether KFP3 has a chance to regain more screens! =)

According to this - http://weibo.com/5768800667/DgKENmJow, Mermaid already broke Lost in Hongkong's presale record (99.92 million yuan) with 100 million yuan in opening day presales. How much are we predicting for the CNY movies?

local movie has tons of discount tickets.I assume that actual number for presale is only half of reported number.

Remember TFA drop 30% on 2nd day？TFA has a lot of discount tickets on OD.However,local movies have much larger discount tickets.

I won't surprise If Mermaid drop 20% after its opening day.If WOM is not good enough,it will drop harder.The final trailer is terrible.I cant believe it is directed by Stephen chow

The reviews suggest that it is still a very Stephen Chow style comedy. I suspect it is the front runner actually.

In fact,I don't like recent Stephen chow films.CJ7 was last film I saw in theater.it's terrible.There is no public media releases for Mermaid.I doubt the review before.wait and see Mermaid WOM tommorrow.

It has decent reviews and people have compared it to Kung Fu Hustle. So we'll see. I'm actually quite optimistic about it.

It's sad that people have compared it to Kung Fu Hustle. Kung Fu Hustle is a masterpiece. This film? Only worth to watch if it's on TV.

Interesting opinion. A friend just got back from watching it and he liked it. What was wrong about the movie?

I don't like it either.If CJ7 is C+ movie,Conquering the demons is B- movie.Nothing can compare with Kungfu.
