Monday est：

Mermaid 276M/281M, biggest single day for a local movie

Macau 3: 178M/184M

TMK2: 170M/172M

KFP3:20.3M/700M

 

Total daily reached 664M, nearly increased 300M from last year!

Whoa!! Evening was much stronger than I expected!

 

And wow at that daily total! Over $100M! That's a rare feat even in NA.

Previous record was 425M(2015.07.18)...

 

Mermaid also broke the highest opening day record!

Did TMK2 break the record for highest OD for an animated film?

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.

Fuck you DW, they screwed the pooch with KFP3. It's going to make half of what it should have, fuck you once again.

I thought F7 had a bigger opening day, or am I mistaken?

It is not an animated film. Live action/sci-fi film.

Its highest for a local film. FF7's 60m+ ($) still holds overall record.

Dear DW, Olive, myself or anyone in this thread can assist you on when to schedule KFP4 around Asia if you like so long as you have a written guarantee that we receive 2% of its Asian box office.

KFP4?

The saga is finished with KFP3.

It will be exciting to see how his collaboration with Tsui Hark will do next year, since Tsui Hark himself is a pretty big name too.

absolutely, two biggest Chinese directors + one biggest IP + big cast & huge budget = one of the biggest movies of the year

If Journey to the West 2 came out this year, with that IP, it will kill Macau 3 and MK2... especially in the year of the monkey.

it will win next CNY

Love that post.

Seriously some of the forum posters on this forum really know more about box office than studio heads and box office pundits.

Good job DW-ODW.

It was an exaggeration but fuck DW.

what a big box office day, 78% bigger than last CNY.

 

next year could even challenge 1B single day.

 

this weeks weekly bo will be hard to outgross.

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).

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.

How is the WOM for the openers?

Good for you. Next time bet something bigger here.

 

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. Short of TMK.
