F**k you Fox) Pacific Rim 2 - Mar.23 Ready Player One may open on Mar.30. A secret non-english movie may open on Apr.(Qingming festival) Deadpool 2 have a great chance to get a release date in China. Just like Logan, Alien: Covenant & Shape of Water, cutting some shoots & changing by new stuffs. For Fox I say this again with respect How bad are the Chinese censors with nudity? There's a few gory moments that will definitely be cut, but if they won't allow any nudity at all, some scenes have to be cut entirely.

KP1025 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I would be very surprised if Mowgli came anywhere near Jungle Book's gross. The interest and curiosity factor is going to be much lower now despite WB marketing it as a completely unrelated version from the Disney film. Reading reviews, a lot of Jungle Book's praise came from its visuals and charm. Mowgli is supposed to be a darker and grittier story, and I'm not sure it will get anywhere near the same critical reception and WOM. I think it's much more likely to make Legend of Tarzan numbers in China or around $45-50 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t know how Fox made this happen…I have no idea what a Chinese censorship version would look like... rumor said Spoiler they add a swimsuit by VFX for Elisa...

Stewart Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Posted in the Presales thread, thought I'd post here for those interested: Final presales: Monster Hunt 2 - 294.1M Detective Chinatown 2 - 174.2M Monkey King 3 - 85.1M Operation Red Sea - 56.7M Boonie Bears 4 - 42.1M Totals: 678.4M Presales and ~355,000 showings. This makes the day, in just presales remember the following: 2nd best single day ever (behind 806m, in front 645m and 603m) Most showing in a single day (needs checking fully, but has beaten every day I've checked by 30,000) MH2 has the 4th best opening day for a single film, just in presales MH2 has the 13th best single day for a single film, again just in presales A presale multiplier of just 1.47x gets February 16th to 1B single day gross, first time ever! Also should note that Maoyan is forecasting the following totals: Monster Hunt 2 - 4.297B ($677m) Detective Chinatown 2 - 2.525B ($398m) Monkey King 3 - 869m ($137m) Operation Red Sea - 1.955B ($308m) Boonie Bears 4 - 704m ($111m) Edited February 15, 2018 by feasby007 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Maoyan are often very wrong about their predictions, so take with a pinch of salt. However they seemed to have got MK3's bad WOM correct 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeSoh Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Secret Superstar has made 745m Yuan till now or about 117.5m usd. It is unlikely to make much more seeing that its losing almost all of its screens tomorrow. It made 8.33 times more money in China than in its domestic box office. Thats one of the highest I have ever seen a movie perform outside its home market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite bigger than a $70M movie more in the $125M+ range, they are spending in California qualified cost alone $102.5M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXtacy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Cant believe this is not being more talked about. This is absolutely a new milestone in the cinema world. Biggest weekend overall in US: 305m (#1 Force Awakens, Dec 18-20th 2015) These numbers make it look like China is heading for 500m+ weekend. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detective Chinatown 2 is already at 282m Yuan ($45m). Could Black Panther opening in USA "just" be the third biggest around the world this weekend in a single market? Edit: and adding presales for whole weekend the cume is already over $250m at this moment. Edited February 16, 2018 by peludo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) MH2 has just reached 500m Yuan ($78.7m). If I am not wrong, it is the first film able to do that amount in a single day. Edited February 16, 2018 by peludo 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
