Mojoguy Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Disney is going to give up on marketing Star Wars movies in the future in China. It is a waste of money since China doesn't care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the WOM, it'd have to basically not increase at all today for $25m - even Rogue One increased 20% or so on Saturday. I'd say $27m.

Not looking strong. 40-60mm OD $25m OW maybe 45m total. Depends on WoM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP1025 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 24 minutes ago, POTUS said: 45m total. Depends on WoM I guess we were too hasty predicting $150 million for it. Though this was before anyone saw Ex-File 3 breakout of this magnitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainbug Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Where could Ex-File 3 land now? Can it go 300M+ US-dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) The biggest question this weekend won't have anything to do with TLJ, but it is going to be.... Will they make an Ex-File 4 now? Edited January 5, 2018 by Mojoguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know if it will go so high, but $300m seems extremely likely. It has been growing day by day along the whole week and unless there is an upcoming local big film soon, foreign competition does not seem specially strong... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audience Score will drop to low 30's, if that happens. People in Mainland China rarely use RT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there ever a romantic comedy that grossed more than $460M worldwide? I'm unfamiliar with the genre. Ex-File 3: return of the exes would be a hilarious name for the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mermaid is family/fantasy comedy, like Monster Hunt or Beaty and the Beast. EX3 is typical romcom.

Yes. 3B is a stretch, not happening, but $300m should be a lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen The Mermaid, but the movie has been called a romcom in several articles I read about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
