titanic2187 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I don't get why China box office is so sensitive to Valentine day and yet government always complain there are too many single out there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 BW is 103K. FFH is 522K. So can one assume that 400K worth of people didn't watch BW in spirit of watching it in theater. If so, might not be a bad idea to release BW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it get a release plan at this point, I could hardly imagine it would do way better than Mulan. Both of them had strong buzz at the beginning and missed best release time due to pandemic. And they all get very mixed even bad WOM from core audience after piracy came out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is marketing, obviously he has to defend the film and his decisions on casting, plot etc. I mean he can't go out there and say this is a steoreotypical film about Chinese and has elements of Kungfu, Tiger Dad and Dragon right? Hahaha. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, things are improving. I heard Sep is expected to be very crowded(same for National Day’s holidays in Oct.). Valentines Day in last week shows people are ready to go back cinema as long as no more new COVID threat. All we need is blockbuster, especially good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most studios and local bureau wouldn’t announce or approve a date officially until local government says COVID risks become low enough to let theaters work as usual. So it’s very hard to say. In the very past, the release plan was usually confirmed three to six weeks in advance. Now, it could be just one or two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s close to Soul in pre-sale. Maoyan predict ¥7M OD(Soul did ¥4.5M). $10M lifetime is possible, and I think that would be a victory to this movie.

charlie Jatinder Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) 7M seems about right but Cruella and Raya had very big PSm, so let's see. Release seems like 7K screens, guess if it do $20M may even recover release cost for Disney but that will need really great WoM.

TigerPaw Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Luca projected by Maoyan to do 8m Yuan tomorrow; unless WoM explodes or else it will not top the weekend. Donnie Yen-starrer Raging Fire likely to top for the 4th weekend; has grossed more than USD130m already but still doing well even on weekdays, really shows the power of WoM and legs in China.
