 TGW is opening on the third weekend of Your Name ,and its not the only big local release for pre-Christmas weekend.  

Your Name won't make much after the 15th, it may be lucky to retain 8% screens for that weekend.

TGW?

The plot is so simple and the cast is not big enough. Even Tsui Hark's name was attached, still can't save it.They shouldn't remake old classic movie. 

 

Still wait for Tsui Hark's Dee 3, I heard Lin Gengxin is one of the main lead. He was cast in every Tsui Hark's works since Dee 2. 

The reviews I have seen give it overwhelming praise though?

 

Here's one from Screen Anarchy - "Personal and reverent, yet pulsating with visual invention, Sword Master is a passionate love letter to Chinese cinema’s most quintessential genre, but also a bold exploration into wuxia’s visual language. Sword Master is pioneering, experiential cinema, simultaneously steeped in decades of tradition and mythology, which must, as its hero learns, be embraced if it is ever to be overcome."

 

I lurked in forums too and they all praised it. Plot is not a huge factor in China anyway, seeing that movies like Tomb Raiders made over 1 billion yuan while critically acclaimed films like Mr. Six didn't reach that mark. Wuxia just doesn't have the same popularity it once did.

They still watch Wuxia drama everyday on TV though.  When it comes to movie, agree that it has lost its power. Everyone grow up watching it so if it's just sword fighting, there is nothing new. 

 

Tsui Hark's wuxia film still have successful box office in recent years though.

It's weekdays are falling 15% and will be at least that on Thursday while FB continues to hold at -10% or better.  With YN not likely making much in its 3rd weekend it's likely to fall between $80-85m

Yes it will have more screen than FB in its second weekend but it's demand is falling off quickly with these 15% declines and it looks like -20% tomorrow.

The weekend will probably be a little bigger than FB with a big sat bump but it will continue to lose ground on the weekdays. It's looking like FB will fall just short of $90m and YN will fall short a few million of FB.

Animation or not, If the demand was holding up it would have -10% or better weekday holds like FB, DS or ZOO etc.

15%+ daily declines forecast a weaker weekend and doesn't forebode well for the following week with a big opener like the TGW

¿How many screens is have to lose FB this weekend?

Wednesday - 14.3% or 28,100 showtimes

Thursday - 10.8% or 19,800 showtimes (Hacksaw Ridge opening)

Friday - 4.2% or 4,000 showtimes (Sully and a local rom com opening)

Friday's showtime number will change but the percentage is likely to stay around the same.

@Olive maybe you've already said this but how much is Great Wall expected to make (realistically) for its opening week or its total gross?
