There are so many good Asian films you need to watch. Continue your journey guy...

Hey! Remember me! I agree Asian films are wayyyyyy better than people give them credit for. I would say chinese comedy+drama movies are really good. Thailand, indonesia and hong kong make great action films. South Korean thrillers,  horror, drama, romance are great. Really asian cinema is awesome. 

Ps:could you pm me a link to Train to Busan?

Who are those people? 

 

So Train to Busan hasn't released in your country?

The thread unfortunately is dead. No one even posts estimates let alone actuals. I would do that but since August can't reach the blog because suddenly it requires registration on weibo.

Why did Olive stop posting the dailies? Was it do to a lack of posting by other people, or was it because someone else tried to take over that role briefly?

Alternatively go to App Store search for sankuai then scroll down slightly to the 6th app from the top you should see maoyan PRO (PRO at top left corner and maoyan has red cat eyes and white face symbol). This app updates bo receipts in realtime whereas the URL above updates every 30 mins. You will never need to ask anyone for Chinese bo receipts again.

Why did Star Trek fail in China?

What were you expecting it to do?  

 

Have no idea in local currency (virus the two previous Trek films), but its increased for the US Dollar each of its three releases.

 

I would guess a final take (in dollars) close to 70 million (currently estimated by Deadline at 63.3 million) versus Into Darkness' $57 million (in US dollars, again).

 

And this film lacked any star that has strong appeal in China.  I always assumed that Into Darkness benefited by casting Benedict Cumberbatch who seems to have a rather large following for an actor of his limited box office.  With the overall lack of large increase for this year in China''s box office (especially versus previous years),and the fact that with very few exceptions (and none of them large markets) Beyond is averaging more then 20% less then what Into Darkness did, I never imagined a significant increase.  In fact I thought it was quite possible that it could even decline versus the last film.

The growth is dead and with it goes the weekly excitement of breakout BO. like other OS threads, this will pick up when a movie is having a good run. 

 

Sept is going to be down from last year. Still nothing has had a great run since May. Hopefully something will break out soon.

Looks like Sunday was a workday. Total BO was down 50% from Saturday. 

JB5 and IA5 are going to finish neck and neck at 447m/$65m this week. STB will get close to that number as well.

Nine Lives will just get over 100m/ $15m. The Shallows will just fall short.

Thursday is the end of Jason Bourne’s running time, and the total number would be nearly $68 million.

 

Star Trek Beyond would be ending with $65 million.

Thanks efialtes. I guess Sherlock Holmes tv series could have been popular in china. I will let Olive and others chime in on how much that could have helped.

The TV special Sherlock: The Abominable Bride made $24m in China and it had already aired on TV and been leaked.  Reportedly the TV show's audience in China is near 100m.

JB5 and IA5 will close on Thursday with JB edging out IA in gross. IA5 has edged out Minions(¥436m) from last Sept. 

 

ST3 has 1 more week. It will have close to just 2% of shows and will crawl close to ¥440M just short of JB and IA.
