Any areas that could serve a similar role? Or maybe just a crack down on the skimming of box office receipts by distributors exhibitors - which I always think of when estimates get revised consistently down. http://variety.com/2017/film/news/china-ticket-sales-under-reported-1202579242/ Quote Movie ticket sales in China were underreported by up to 9% last year, according to the findings of an audit being conducted for the the Motion Picture Assn. of America, a source familiar with the study said Tuesday, confirming an earlier Wall Street Journal article. The paper said that underreporting in 2016 accounted for $40 million or more of lost revenues for U.S. studios. The alleged fraudulent activity uncovered by auditors at PricewaterhouseCoopers includes audience numbers being recorded inaccurately and legitimate sales logged as concessions.

Sam Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Just count in the BO money from mainland folks who traveled to Hong Kong to see IW early. It’s only fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is gonna do 330M... then it will do 20M per hour till 7PM for 300M cume.. after that it will do 15+10+5 = 30M. Does that seem correct? that looks right. 18-22m per hour, 20m average. then the fade that makes it a 17m average for the 10hours from 12-10pm Edited May 13, 2018 by POTUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPZVGOS Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I find it strange that Hong Kong is still spoken of as an independent entity, since it has been handed back to China two decades ago. Taiwan is also *on paper* part of China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
