Would be shocked if it didn't considering Wanda owns LP. No. But it was almost sure the release date is Mar.10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do all films report service charges or do studios pick and choose to pad reported totals? All films have service charges. And from now on, the final numbers you see will include those money.

TalismanRing Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Just now, Gavin Feng said: All films have service charges. And from now on, the final numbers you see will include those money. So from now on but it ill be included but not before? It really is nonsense padding since none of that money goes to the studio. They might as well start rolling in food and drink concessions sold to ticket holders for each specific movie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daxtreme Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Random question but do 3D glasses overcharge in the US go to the studio, or at least part of it? If not... this shouldn't be counted in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not like all the money went to the studios before this either I think the additional fee usually gets counted as part of the ticket-price in Germany as well, so it isn't all that outrageous to include this, though the system might be quite a bit different. I don't really see a problem with counting it towards the movie, because you have to pay this if you want to buy your ticket that way, making it definately part of the normal process. The odd part isn't that that it gets counted, but that it gets changed now, because that makes comparisons a bit harder, not to mention unfair towards older movies.

Mrstickball Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 $644 million RMB is the current single-day record, correct? Do midnights get included in that number? One would think that with the pace of JTTW2 and other movies, there's a good shot at the market hitting $700 million RMB today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
