My guess is that it will we close to T5 which was 725m/$113m with average WoM. 725m is $103m at todays XR. It will need a 9.1+ rating to do more, low 8s will bring in less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerPaw Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Better Days was announced on Tuesday (22nd Oct) to be released on Friday (25th Oct;I wonder how little marketing it has? always enjoy a good box office run, it will slay competition for the next 3 weekends if the WoM reminds strong.

No shows listed yet... should come out before Oct.28 because they arrange many press screenings on that day, which means confident. Tencent Pictures worked very hard on this one. Only thing I'm not sure is if audience have problem with female characters because fans are used to male central action movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie is allowed to do almost zero marketing as one of the conditions it could get a date. Far From Home should "thank" for censorship. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think no connection between Better Days & Once Upon a Time in HLW. The dismissal of Once Upon a Time in HLW is totally a accident. Better Days was supposed to get the date last week. The announcement on Tue is very crazy because most distributors couldn't even send their copies to theaters across the country in such a limited period of time. I heard Film Bureau actually have no problem with the Bruce Lee scenes. The only reason it was dismissed is Lee's daughter, a American citizen, talked with them. So the release of Once Upon a Time in HLW suddenly become something unacceptable because keeping releasing it would hurt the friendship between Chinese and American in a sensitive time(those leaders are negotiating for a deal on stopping trade war). If Shannon Lee is a Chinese citizen, Film Bureau wouldn't give a shit about her complaint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could just have kept the ban. it's more like a result of compromise. Film Bureau don't have problem with it, but mostly they couldn't decide everything. Ministry of Education tried to stop them, so the original date of June 28th is gone. After all, most parts of Better Days is still existed in the new version, but it couldn't be notable before opening no matter how much money it would finally earn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGlass2 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Marketing or not, it looks like the ban didn't hurt at all - maybe the opposite. 2 hours ago, sfran43 said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ban caused curiosity. WoM will take care of the rest. Marketing is overrated. A good film will draw. A year with a lot of great films doesn't make much more than a year with a lot of bad tentpoles. They spend billions on marketing. Just throw a trailer on you tube and let it run imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
