Gavin Feng Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Funny thing is another amazing Soul is coming... A local crime-mystery The Soul(缉魂) is going to debut on Jan.15 with previews on Jan.8-10. I already saw the movie in 2020. I could never imagine this kind of movie would be experienced in cinema. Perfect masterpiece? I wouldn't praise it that way. But it is undoubtedly something unseen. In a word, a improved version of TENET with a smarter, more thrilling & emotional story. The buzz is very low. One of the reasons is marketing couldn't do much without some spoilers that would hurt the movie. It's not from big name director, but he is going to be famous. I think he is like Jordan Peele in Hollywood - very bright & astonishing. poster 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s heading for a 9-11x multiplier, already a mini-breakout. But yeah, chance of going really nuts and taking out Tenet look dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Feng Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 shocking things: a) WW84<Mulan for opening; b) WW84<Soul for lifetime it would be very funny to see what kind of performance the 12th SW movie would show... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as the last one. Don't think SW is gonna be popular in China in the near future. Maybe that Feige movie makes big bucks there tho.

Cooper Legion Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Soul PS are up 7% from Monday for some reason. If it wants to pass Croods2/I2, going to need to regain screens this Sat and Sun by holding up to the new releases well. I think it will be above Warm Hug and fairly close to Shockwave2 (in dailies) by Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Soul weekdays: Mon -30% weekly Tues -30% Wed -12% Thurs +5% (personal projection) Good way to head into a weekend where it needs to fight for screens. ALRF and Shockwave are also holding well with good PSAs. D-1 PS are low for everything, but if multiple movies get great reception Warm Hug won’t have enough screens to give up to leave everybody else comfortable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been holding pretty well, headed for about 10x from OW and will be close with Croods 2 for 2nd place HW 2020 and I2 for 2nd place Pixar. I think that’s reasonable to call breakout legs, but it was breaking out from a comically low OD, so the final total is nothing crazy. Not too much discussion around here recently since the trajectory hasn’t changed much from a dozen days ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Maoyan currently forecasting an increase for Soul this weekend. Doesn’t seem too outlandish based on PS. Wish Dragon only has 9.1 Maoyan, but it increased every weekday, with Th about +15% from Mon. Openers have PS of just 1.7 and 1.5, 12.5% screen share each. Looks like another weekend on top for ALRF but with just $9M or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
