China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

I feel like I see more people down on objectively successful runs in this thread more than any other all due to expectations built on pre-sales.

I knew this was going to happen. Once Aquaman and Venom exploded, Captain Marvel would be expected to do over 250mil usd as well.

It's amazing how close ALITA will end up to CM. ALITA and CM combined should do well below AQM while going over Venom narrowly.

To be honest, I expected Alita to easily beat Captain Marvel way before we had any presales data. It was essentially marketed as a Cameron film, and both Titanic and Avatar had huge success in China. Being a visual CGI extravaganza, I expected a breakout in China with numbers close to Ready Player One. 

 

Captain Marvel, on the other hand, I did not have huge expectations for before presales. Trailer seemed generic and unlikely to garner excellent WOM like the unique tone of Venom or insane action spectacle of Aquaman. I was only expecting it to finish on par with other solo MCU films, around $100-120 million. I underestimated how much the Endgame connection would boost it, not just in China but everywhere in the world.

So is the free fall continuing in China for CM? How's Monday hold looking? Worse than BP?

Wondering if "Bohemian Rhapsody" can pull 100+ million in China?

Its screen count is too low for that to happen. Also, early reactions suggest it won't be a breakout like Green Book.

Lol. I don’t even know what to say to this.

 

not everyone is rooting for this film, you have to respect people’s opinion. He is just joking about Capt Marvel’s slogan.

 

anyway I think WoM among general audiences in a China is definitely weaker than the so called scores on the various ticketing sites.

Haven't seen the movie but I doubt it will do that well in China. It has no big name attached and it doesn't seem the kind of movie that would play well in China. Dangal/Secret Superstar/Hindi Medium all had strong social themes that resonated strongly with Chinese audiences. 

 

For those wondering, the actual title of the movie is "Andhadhun"
