And it is not that China sucks, but they prefer another kind of films. Nothing wrong with that. Nobody complained when Zootopia grossed $235m there, for example... Well Lotr didn't make 1B dollar here so I am still kind of disapointed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbingchan Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) It doesn't disappoint me at all. Cinderella did 440M BatB 500-600M is more likely told u one month ago. Presale starts too early.Early number is not meaningful.The final presale is similar to Logan.Logan is about 600M~700M.

That is great for a musical. usually closer to 4x on Saturday. 20% bump 30 minutes ago, FantasticBeasts said: Isn't OD better than TJB? Seems positive sign. TJB popped on VG WoM after OD. Big holds.

RO,Dory,BatB,including SW7 different culture,Nostalgia doesn't work here.Chinese don't have special emotion towards those previous films.(If do,look at Titanic 3D number)Those numbers are normal.They are all rank top3 in OS market.Can't expect too much for a young market But I think,Caribbean,GofG,FF8,those much younger franchise can be great in dom and China at same time Edited March 17, 2017 by bangbingchan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
