Gavin Feng Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 6.4/10 rated by 30 users for Monster Hunter after early screenings. Not good sign considering mostly studios are controlling early reactions very hard. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the Maoyan website and noticed the want to see number for the The Rescue is at 605212 compared to WW84's 64902. Not really surprising considering The Rescue is a Chinese film just wondering how badly this affects WW84's box office performance for that weekend.

Original distributor Maoyan thought the local action title was a great movie and held many press screenings in Jan, and then they got lots of negative reactions. After date delay due to COVID-19, Maoyan rejected to do distribution job again. Bona Film Group was then forced to re-edit the movie and now distribute it by themselves. In other words, they knew they fucked up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rescue is his biggest production ever with $100M production budget. - The Rescue already started selling tickets while Wonder Woman 1984 does not yet. CONS: - It has gotten very low attention since it was delayed from 2020 CNY due to COVID-19. It's not hard to see that audience don't really have much interest on this at this point. The pre-sale performance looks fine but mostly because Bona Film Group faked it by their own theaters(They always do this on their movies). - In January, then-distributor Maoyan Movie arranged many press screenings in big cities and got many unexpected negative reviews and reactions. Many who saw it reflected it didn't feel like a action movie Lam could make. A very dangerous sign for its WOM and legs. Wonder Woman 1984 - I adjust its opening slightly considering The Rescue will come on the same weekend and take some showtimes that should've belonged to Diana. But the DC title still has a great chance to top Tenet, the highest-grossing Hollywood title of 2020 here, in just 3 days. A Little Red Flower - Its market team could almost do nothing with amazing buzz the movie has. Industry believe it would be the biggest winner of DEC. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Feng Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Detective Chinatown 3 now has 10 million want-to-see users on Maoyan and Taopiao ticket sites together. Previous recorder Avengers: Endgame has 8.1 million. I expect it would make $250M-plus on Feb.12-14, 2021 weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meridan Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 To me, WW84's projected lifetime total of $140-160 seems high when you factor that it's going up against Shock Wave 2 on the 24th and A Little Red Flower on the 31st. Probably a huge drop in its second weekend and almost gone by the 3rd weekend. Probably would have been better to open on the 11th instead of the 18th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would have been better to open on the 11th instead of the 18th I didn’t consider WW84 as a normal case mostly because it’s the last Hollywood blockbuster in 2020, and I expect Chinese audience including some who don’t usually see HLW in theaters will go cinema for it. I could be wrong, but I wanna bet on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that Detective Chinatown 3 will be more of a leggy movie (x3 / x4 legs) or on the contrary a movie with poor legs (like x2 or something) ?

Sony was not the one who was distributing it in China, Tencent was. And Tencent has equity in the movie so this is more on them than Sony.
