Ay72998 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The reaction for The Jungle Book is good, but surprisingly not as good as you would've expect given the critical reviews. It currently has a 8.1 on Douban (it was 8.3 or something before, but has dropped a bit since it opened) and 7.7 on Mtime. Whereas Zootopia still has a 9.3 on Douban and 8.7 on Mtime even though it was been in theaters for over a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I know it's a long way off and market growth is an unknown variable, but is anybody willing to hazard a guess at Avatar 2's gross potential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like some competition next week. 3 releases showing a high show count so far. The top one already has 2m in PS. Poster looks YA. Is that going to be direct comp in a couple demos?

TLK Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 How will The Huntsman do in China ? It isn't doing well in Europe but Asia seems solid for it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Bad weather across east provinces of China, this may mute TJB's Saturday increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal expect 300M yuan, I think it's impossible since its 2nd weekend will be affected by local blockbusters.

Here in the west of the globe, bad weather generally increases ticket sales as people are more likely to spend time indoors (e.g. in a cinema), compared to good weather which makes people go outside. Is it different in China? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the January 22nd weekend where Many parts of US was having heavy snowstorm and many cinemas were closed, people were tweeting that that is a stay home weekend.

Maybe you guys have a different meaning of "bad weather". Here "bad weather" means rain. That's all im talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday Once More, if it follows The Left Ear (April.24) last year : 53M OD, 190M OW & 485M total. But The Left Ear is Alec Su's first time as director & it has Yang Yang. All actors in Yesterday Once More are new-comer. Since 2013, youth movie always do good in late April, So Young 2013, My Old Classmate 2014, The Left Ear 2015.

Polaroids Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 One of the releases on the last week of Apr changed release dates. Finding Mr Right 2 should comfortably dominate May 1 weekend. The Russo brothers started a production studio in China.. interesting. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/russo-brothers-launch-studio-produce-874955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But TJB had 4x PS which is a first I've seen. Maoyan has been erratic lately, time to compare to Cboo, so YOM could be 45-75m OD based on current PS pace.

MinaTakla Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Forbes on TJB in China I think it's a bit exaggerated though: http://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2016/04/15/disneys-jungle-book-swings-in-china-to-12-million-opening-day-250-better-than-zootopia/#28a84b075c31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
