TigerPaw Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 13 minutes ago, Ash Skywalker said: 2. I hope that doesn't happen. Is there any chance now BvS getting a April 1st release or after the release of the Revenant? No way BvS changes date. In China, a change of date will signify lack of confidence in the film's quality and might do more harm than good. Both dates are set. Revenant March 18th, BvS March 24th. The Revenant BO exploding(huge success) might be an overconcern on my part though, Chinese audiences don't really like this type of genre, I initially predicted less than 150m Yuan for it, but after Leonardo Dicarpio's Oscar Win, and the huge trending on weibo and almost all chinese big forums talking about his win, I am estimating maybe a 300 to 400m Yuan... Of course I am downplaying the effects of piracy, and overestimating the impact of online media and weibo trending. Not forgetting that Leo is going to promote Revenant in China.... Revenant will never be in BvS's league in terms of China BO, but it might impact the opening showtimes of BvS if its WOM is good and its opening weekend overperform expectations, because the situation right now is that BvS is stuck right between Revenant and the 3 Qing Ming Chinese movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the competition BvS face aren't that big like Chineese trio released during New year but.... i'm skeptical Apr.2-4 is 3-Day Qingming vacation.It's okay BvS open a week before. CNY is totally different .No films can survive in a week before CNY.People are busy going home or doing year-end staff.It is the coldest week for boxoffice. As for other vocations,Qingming or Dragon Boat Festival,it's fine to open a week before.If WOM is good,BvS can also benefit from vocation.Jurassic world open 10 days before Dragon Boat Festival last year.JW hold very well in 2nd weekend.BvS has a similar opening window.It's not bad for imported films Edited March 3, 2016 by bangbingchan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelestialFairyIX Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hopefully Zootopia does as well as Big Hero 6 even if at a small percentage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is the Titanic effect for Leonardo. He has a following in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to spread the positive WOM. Seems to be working. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 9 hours ago, WrathOfHan said: Guess that means Ghostbusters won't be getting releasing in China It should. It has always been on Sony's China release schedule of 2016. But the title has been changed from "Ghostbusters" (捉鬼敢死队) to "Superbusters" (超能敢死队) because the word 'ghost' is not allowed to appear in the title of a film or a TV show according to SARFT. SARFT's censorship on local content is much stricter than on foreign content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerPaw Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Ip Man 3 trending on Weibo, #3 most search. Many celebrities are helping to "Retweet" Donnie Yen's and Shi Jian Xiang's posts. Crossed 100m yuan(adding presales) at around 530pm. 150m Yuan in play today. 3 day might cross 450m Yuan. Zootopia also doing very well. 22 - 25m Yuan in play today. Will play better on Saturday and Sunday. Both films are heating up the market which has been dead for 2 weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerPaw Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Early presales for tomorrow 5th March, Zootopia looks to improve a lot. Animation tends to do well on weekends as children are free... Ip Man 3's presales are dropping compared to yesterday, despite above average WOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
