As for the people around me, they don’t hate animation, they just don’t care. So if an animation breaks out and gains enough hype, it can get great box office like Zootopia or Ne Zha, but if not, only some family audience will watch it.

However, Frozen 2 is likely just a special exception due to the influence of the brand. In the future, I think we'll still be seeing most Hollywood animation struggle to get even $50 million in China. What are you thinking for Croods 2, Minions 2 and Trolls in China?

Minnale101 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Drishyam is amazing, should do well. Especially with woman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) JUM3 is at $38 after $6 weekend and is looking at a decent 1.8-1.85x multi ($25 ow, $45-46 total). With just 7.6 rating that's not usual I believe. Smaller numbers can result in faster loss of theaters so it doesn't always make legs easy. edit: I was expecting $100 total so am not happy with this result but am relieved it didn't do ~1.6x that a 7.6 rating can bring.

Croods 2 and Minions 2 could both cross $100 million too since their previous films actually did very well for a Hollywood animation at the time. On the other hand, I don't think Trolls 2 will do well in China (the first film only grossed $8 million). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW presales are weak, but anything can be changed with strong WoM. I mean Jumanji 2’s WoM is shockingly below average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid that the WOM will be about how SW is a snore-fest than can cure your insomnia again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, I think so as well. As mentioned in the other thread, not sure why Disney wants to squeeze SW in December. A Jan opening nearing CNY night have been better. Cold weather and lots of strong competition right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW just does not interest chinese audience. I dont think JJ has ever directed a snooze fest but what ever works for chinese folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold weather, presales are not strong but if weather is good, people will still leave their house on the actual day to buy tickets. So the competition comes in when audience is at the cinema looking at showtimes and deciding which movie to watch. holdovers not strong? Sheep without shepherd seems to be holding well.

TigerPaw Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Feng Xiao Gang’s “Only cloud knows” is having sneak preview on 17th and 18th December. So it will have sneak previews to go against SW: TROS’s sneak previews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
