I knew there was a reason I was optimistic about this movie It seems to have good WOM too judging from the response on Weibo. Even on Douban the responses have been pretty positive.

Seriously some of the forum posters on this forum really know more about box office than studio heads and box office pundits. I think you'd be surprised how stupid people inside of vairous companies are. I used to run a video game forecasting company. The people that make the decisions are NOT the people that know better. Analysts/ect know a lot more, but the executives rarely take their input in regards to a launch or accurate forecasting of a game. It reminds me of one game that came out a few years ago (I won't say the name). The pre-sale metrics were quite good, and you had an indication it was going to do quite well, but the studio picked it up for almost nothing to translate to a new system. Once it launched, it sold extremely well for quite some time. As soon as it happened, our phone was ringing off the hook for more sales reports/analysis, because (what was to us, obvious), they had no idea would be a success, and they wanted follow-up information about other titles they needed to acquire. Congrats to Chinese theaters on CNY, by the way. Even as an American, I really enjoy seeing Chinese cinema grow, and begin to challenge the American movie industry... I hope that more great movies come to the US, and we can help add to their box office totals. Especially movies like Ip Man (one of my favorite movies ever). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 if KFP3 opened on Feb 8, instead of Jan 29, then we would have been talking of BIG FOUR CNY films instead of BIG THREE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW with the current KFP3 monday gross(high teens) where do you see it finish. Note there are 4 movies in Feb(http://m.cbooo.cn/Movie/ReleaseMovies) which seem to have good potential. Bet bigger? You didn't bite on the $10 bet. You will suddenly grow balls on $100? So it was over 20m. You were a tad off there. Hard to say where it will finish. Many variables. It could rebound from OD shock with more shows and increase slightly. Last year had a 12 day effect with the last 2 days being the weekend. Does this carry into early next week. I think it gets to low 8s by sunday with it holding close to 20m p/day ave. Should get to 900m. The 4 new releases the following weekend? If not it could get to 950.
