POTUS 2020 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) 1 hour ago, firedeep said: LOL why don't you just define 100% decrease as "real" drop. 2016 wont be down 20%, neither will Apr. Your predict of sub 20% (increase or decrease) will fail. I just defined less than 10% as nominal with reason. I used the word real meaning considerable. 3% is not considerable.25% is. Would you like a picture? Where did I say 2016 will be down 20%. I was referring to growth, not loss, as sub 20%. April will most certainly be DOWN 20%. another picture?

I am annoyed. got put someone on agnore list. You saying 600m dead on BVS dead is positive and correct? No Thursdays box box will be lowest day of the year thanks to BvS. Negative and wrong again. You shit on a lot of movies with a condescending tone. I said the BO last year was 7B not 6.7B because the XR was not calculated properly for the year. Where the negativity in that? Who was saying MH would take down FF7 after the second weekend? Was i negative or wrong in saying that. Was I negative when I said FF7 400m? And you said 365n. Who was negative and more wrong. I'm not down on the economy, the economy is going down. Wake up and smell the catfood. Read an article or two. Be annoyed at yourself Following BO is about truth in numbers. Ascending or descending. No matter. Why am i here? Cause youre screwing the pooch on the data. You just blow toxic wind.

movieboner Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 China is like the US, movie goers judge films based on reviews/wom from review sites that are equivalent to IMDB, Metacritic, and Rotten Tomatoes. Great reviews and audience reaction equals good box office, Zootopia is a great example of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastclock Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 There is no justification in downplaying the contribution of @firedeep on this board. His intuitive prediction and knowledge about the Chinese BO has been very helpful and enlightening to the other members. No Prisoners has created a very solid predictive method based on the presales number, but without the internal understanding of the Chinese BO, it is not complete and lacking the big picture of the market. Again, numbers by itself, is not meaningful without the description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Forbes, 'Zootopia' Now China's Leggiest Movie Ever, Closes In On Disney's 'Ultron' Record $240 Million Zootopia has had what is now officially the leggiest box office run in history for a wide opener in China. Its 62x multiple from its opening day of 22.9 million yuan (US$3.5 million) has beaten out the 61.9x opening day multiple that local language comedy Goodbye Mr. Loser achieved in October, 2015, when it captivated audiences last fall with a 1.4 billion yuan ($227 million) total run after a 23 million yuan opening day. It also recently beat the animation record multiple of 53.1x that had been set by last summer’s Monkey King: Hero is Back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kswiston Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I won't pretend to be an expert on China's current financial state, but when North America had its housing crisis recession last decade (which was the worst economic downturn in ~70 years) the domestic box office was barely affected. Unless people are starving in the streets, they are probably still going to want entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaroids Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Seems the Russo brothers are planning to cast Chinese actors in their future films (probably Avengers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I hear violins from "wuthering heights" a "boring" movie you would never watch.
