keysersoze123 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 You never know what the studio is thinking. But if they make another one some known face could help and better script for sure. Good reviews is another way to pull in audience. PR has abysmal reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also OD is showing 88.73m. @Olive do you know how many theaters have not yet reported? Does this mean actuals will be lower than 100m? 3-day weekend around 310-320m. That would be under $47m. I dont see it hit vol 1 number in USD for sure. Thats just.... Horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is that a firm projection or just your prediction as of right now? Sorry, I guess I'm looking for any thing positive. After PR and the way GOTG 2 now looking. I'm looking for any thing to hold my hat on. lmao P.S. I'm still trying to figure out the maoyan live box results site. I thought I had the 3 day total of PR correct of 73m.. But if it 60m. I'm clearly using the site wrong. lmao @keysersoze123,you might be right. If they did make another one,do you think a bigger name would actually help it. Like say if they cast someone of the Rock stature or so on. P.S. Yes,I still think it possible. LG has a history of making sequels for movies that we wouldn't consider blockbusters. John Wick,Tyler Perry,etc. 8-10 mill $ in total BO when all is said and done. Thats my best guess atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is shocking to me. China audience seems to be very fickle about what they like. I mean take Warcraft for example.

keysersoze123 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Warcraft has strong fan base and had crazy presales start. Week before release its presales was higher than what F8 achieved. Resident Evil also benefited from strong fan base. Based on PS there doesn't seem to be any fan base for Power Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about GOTG 2 numbers. You must have misread what I said. As for PR in Asia at this point I would be surprised if it makes any money in Japan now and it was created there.

Ghost in the Shell looks like it's barely going to make even $10 million in Japan, so I think it's very likely they will shun Power Rangers too.

jb007 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 5 hours ago, The Dark Rock said: Indian movies have disastrous results in China until Aamir Khan's recent run (even srk/salman movies flops there). Baahubali was not that huge but outside Aamir's movie that was the only move with average success in China. Facts are facts. 7.47 Yuan is not "Striking Gold". It is more like picking up pieces of garbage from the pile. For all the boasting by the paid media regarding Baahubali, it was a certified disaster.

The 1st film had small opening but very good legs to finish with 600m yuan. Marvel is a known brand. I guess there is a limit to these movies. I dont know why a sequel could not even beat Dr Strange. May be cumberbatch is a bigger draw than guardians. May be @Olive or @Gavin Feng can tell us why its OW is so small. Its not even coming close to Maoyan predictions. Anyway its slowing down now. Looking more like 120m sat and 90m sunday for around 310m ( ~ $45m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Dog's purpose's number in domestic term had been damped by those scandal about animal abuse, while it has hardly any effect here, still a movie, didn't feature any big blockbuster style element, the movie is a major win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is.. Rogue One/xXx/Ip Man's Donnie Yen. I mean he visited Malaysia today, and everyone is tweeting about it..crowd was crazy https://www.instagram.com/p/BTv1VKqBaZi/ If Lionsgate were to just invest more, and pay Donnie Yen 10m USD (His reported pay is around 8m USD per film) and cast him as.... 1) Red Ranger/Leader of PR 2) Villian that kicks every Power Rangers' as$ 3) Some MMA teacher of the PRs. or even if Lionsgate cut some cost and just hire Donnie for Cameo or Fight-Choreographer.. I am confident it will be doing so much better in Asia. Just look at how much xXx earned in Asia because of Donnie Yen's name alone...Not just in China, we are talking about whole of Asia here. China alone we will be looking at..at least 60 - 80m USD in my opinion. Not the pathetic numbers we are seeing now.
