MrFanaticGuy34 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hmm.... If BvS drops as much, WW on upcoming weekends......does this give a chance for Zootopia to outgross BvS in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTUS 2020 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Interesting day, a few races shaping up. Body, looking to be down from yesterday, losing steam to Hotspot bumping 30%. Zoo looking to triple up and beat Bvs and both of them to overtake Bro, also could decline from yesterday. if their evening holds up. The day in total may only bump 25-33% compared to last years 70% and be just a few percent ahead. Sales at 1500 Bodyguard. 23m 45-50Hotpot. 22 45-50 Zoo. 20 27-33 BVS 16 27-33 Sleep bro 13 23-26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know that Zootopia would beat Big Hero 6 when the first weekend ends…Now it has a chance to beat Avengers 2,becoming Disney's highest grossing of all time in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a great deal of 1-1.5b expectations but most are falling into the 600-900m camp. Just don't know until its received. All that were thought to have a chance have failed the 1b mark since JW and the 500m hopeful ended up nailing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL On 3/30/2016 at 6:41 PM, Olive said: Presales are misleading, since we don't know the percentage of discount tickets. Qingming 2015((Sat -Mon): Friday -108M Saturday - 179M Sunday - 198M Monday - 145M I think 2016 will increase at least 30% from 2015. Nope flat to down Estimates Total MShare SShare Bodyguard 52m 26.7% 26.2%Hotpot. 46 24.1 22.6 Zoo. 32 16.8 9.8 Back above OD BVS 28 14.7 10.2 Sleep bro 23 11.6 19.7 Body and Bro didn't bump. I guess if BvS bumping 20% last saturday is awful, then flat is? Lets just say below 50 feet of crap Bvs and Zoo's market share handily out performed their show share Zoo leads presales for tomorrow. Maybe people think its the last day, bump. Body and Bro not looking to bump tomorrow again. QM holiday weekend is shaping up to be flat or down a bit to last year with B&B fading Next weeks only release, LHF, will likely be a tad shy of FF7s OWeek(Sun-Thu) of 1B which went on to make 2B+ in April. April is shaping up to be the first real down month in more that a decade. Possibly down 1B or -25% from last year, negating Marches gains. With a tough June and July to beat. we could see a flat 5 months. Perhaps a sign for the beginning of the end of 10 years of massive growth.

BATMOOSEMIKE Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I just saw zootopia again (in China, since I'm on vacation). The zootopia showing was nearly full, more people than the batman v superman showing. And this is in a "3rd tier city", where less people usually watch animation movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak argument. You assume that you don't want a certain blockbuster to succeed....because it's just bad to you. Sounds like a childish non-definable argument by you. Now i know, why you're called "Mojoguy". I really can't take you and some of your points seriously. What happened if you wanted the same thing on other blockbusters, coming up? CA: CW? Finding Dory? TMNT2? Independence Day 2? Bourne 5? Would you be happy if they underperformed like you expected?

A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) So Satrurday daily box office is only 210m, barly beat last year's 175m. Last year, the four day QM weekend was 620m (105m, 175m, 195nm, 145m); three day holiday 515m (175m, 195nm, 145m). This year S-S-M will be only 560m or so, a minor 8% increase... The QM releases are too weak: Bodyguard, Bro, terrible reviews; Hotpot, under marketed. This year, local films are very weak, except for Mermaid (an exeception), and maybe a coule October holiday releases. The expected low (relatively, maybe 30%) YOY increase of 2016 has the most to do with a weak slate of local films, not because the market cooling down. No worry, next year will be full blood resurrection. For April, even if Jungle Book makes 1.5B, Apr would still be unsavable... as the first half month is poised to be very dead, just like the last days of March. But April cann't be "the first real down month in more that a decade", not even close. Period decrease happens once in a while. Just a few examples out of my mind: Jan 2010 ---- 1210m Jan 2011 ---- 1080m Dec 2012 ---- 2560m Dec 2013 ---- 2120m Jul 2011 ---- 1520m Jul 2012 ---- 1430m Aug 2011 ---- 1550m Aug 2012 ---- 1440m (summer 2012, June-Aug, as a whole, was a down actually) Apr 2013 ---- 1800m Apr 2014 ---- 1820m In the last six years alone, at least Jan, Feb, Apr, Jul, Aug, Dec all have seen 'downs'. Important box office slots at CBO have all seen 'down' or 'flat' YOY: May holiday (2014), Chinese New year holiday (2011), Christmas-New Year holiday (2011), October holiday (2011), Dragon Boat Festival (2012), Qingming Festival (2016), summer 2012, winter 2013. It happens when the openers are weak. Mino slots like V day, Qixi, Women's Day, Children's D, Mooncake Day ... also have been down. World is not ending .... .... As for sub 10% Month to month increase, that's common. in CBO, June-Aug = summer, Mar-May = Spring, Sep-Nov = Fall, Dec-Feb = Winter Edited April 2, 2016 by firedeep 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, maybe it's weird to you. Do you (non-Asian) feel easy reading subtitle? Don't expect to see amazing action scenes, it's not superhero movie, it's all about rom-com & comedy always lost in translation. Of course I love it. But I prefer Monster Hunt. Spoiler I watched it 2 times & yes, it worths the price. But I'm a die hard fan of Stephen Chow. Edited April 2, 2016 by Lihongkim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
