Damn, the slop is doing well. What's your final projection, Olive?

 

I'd say:

280/290 by Thursday

75M on 2nd weekend, 360 total

90 on weekdays/2 + weekend/3, 450 total

Final: 465 (IA5 and Bourne open the following Tuesday)

 

Looks like it will lose more showtimes than I expected this Friday.

Right now I'm only seeing 400M or slightly under.

I saw a clip of Lu Han and he was bad and awkward. Jing Boran is a decent actor. It's a shame he chooses really bad movies. 

 

Did you read the reviews? The only ones giving it a positive review are fans of the actors. The movie is getting roasted all over Weibo and Douban.

i feel like you have something against luhan or this film in general.  and judging people acting on a shot clip is irrelevant.
like  I say this film isn't a masterpiece and really didn't deserve that huge success on boxoffice ( even for i'm happy for every success) but i think Luhan ( i don't know his real name) was an interesting wuxie and played his role right, jbr was good but i didn't liked how the film portrait his character.

there is mix review about this film and mostly for cgi and the plot but their acting was ok. but i didn't really give 2 cents to weibo, douban review since it's biased.

I think anyone can see you're a Lu Han fan so it would be nice to stop pretending. Someone probably linked this forum in another place seeing as there are two Lu Han fans who somehow found this thread and made accounts to defend him.

 

I have nothing against him. He's an okay kid. He's just a bad actor, that's all, and Jing Boran is miles better. I have a lot of friends in China who hated the movie too. They don't hate Lu Han so are you going to say they are biased too?

I assume you mean the other Lu Han fan is me, but in my previous posts i don't think i've said anything that's defending him.

Btw, have you actually watched his movies to say he's a bad actor? Or are you just saying this based on "a clip" you watched?

so because i say both jing boran and luhan were good, your conclusion is that i'm luhan fans. thank you for the proposition i will check who he is and his previous works.
you saying i'm biased but aren't you jing boran fans "miles beter" and little bit angry about luhan.
well it's useless to argue about that
bye!

Have you watched the trailer?  I watched it, I think it was posted here too?  The cgi is not that great... not sure about interest level from the Chinese audience.  It will probably do at least a couple hundreds of million though

 

I plan on watching Time Raiders when it becomes available for me... I know this series is quite popular in China which is probably why the movie is doing well. (it really seems like IP and genre ensures some kind of base figure for a movie's box office in China)  I'm kind of disappointed already that it doesn't follow the books storyline though, but maybe because the webdrama was so recent and they felt like it would be too stale?

Will SS get a release here?

Nope, it's banned because of Enchantress.

Somebody asked me where he/she can follow Time Raiders box office in English. So I did link this site to that forum. But I can't tell two new members here come through that link or not.

i also watched the trailer with FBB, i didn't find that super but not bad either, since it's a big budget film with big name that will be a hit. but i'm affraid because of Guo
for "time raiders" aside the storyline who was botched i did my research and in weibo they saying it's because the two lead team wanted the same among of screen time, the CGI was really bad.

@OliveHow much can Pets realistically make this weekend given the screen loss (not sure how much that is) and the decreased showtimes to accomodate for the new openers?

We won't have a clear picture until Friday.

It may only have 5-6% showtimes this weekend.

Yeah I don't know how well big names in movies do (looks at LoG)...

I've learned to ignore the drama between fans, I don't think the general audience would care that much... it seems like even if the ratings are kinda low it's still an enjoyable adventure movie, so I'm looking forward to it.
