Barnack Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 1 hour ago, jiangsen said: I don't know of any other market which includes ticketing surcharges in its official grosses, and even if they did, the amount would pale in comparison to China where 80% of tickets are bought online now. Indeed it is rather alarming as a way to pad stats, yet local media have caught on and usually report both 综合 (including) and 分账 (not including) grosses. Unsurprisingly, Hollywood studios and western trades, excluding China Film Insider, report the 综合 grosses since it makes the numbers look larger for their films. Alarming ? I doubt anyone is taking any decision based on those numbers. It not like they ever report studio rental in modern days, they are always reporting how much customer spent on tickets I think, I don't think they remove the 10.72% special tax in France on movie ticket either. How much customers spent on a movie is also a valid metric to have when talking box office I imagine, as long as both are easily accessible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movieboner Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 In the US/Canada, they report the official gross with the service fees. China just started reporting it this year. I don't know about the other film markets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i know last amir khan movie in china made100m. is this movie surpass that record for bolllywood movie? @Olive knows buzz. I'm clueless on that. FF8 might win the holiday weekend as the new releases won't bump as much. It's neck n neck with shock wave and battle of memories today. Friday is usually the worst WoW drop with a recovery on Saturday,-65%, and with holiday help will drop less than 60% for FSS. The week maybe closer to -50% with Mondays boost. Should get to 2560m when GOTG2 opens. Another 70% hit will get it into the low 2600s. $380m~ That will be almost dead even with FF7 in yuan after removing service charge. The CBO is flat since FF7 and considering FF8 is dropping in nearly all markets, flat is quite impressive. Will anyone complain if SW8 does $940m in Dom?
