Already very very good release date and better than expected performance already. Haha. Am not complaining, in normal times, this would have perhaps done $80M may be. $15-20M extra is thanks to no competition for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 On 9/22/2021 at 10:34 AM, charlie Jatinder said: Dune did HK$8.3M (67K admits) in first weekend in Hong Kong. The full run will probably be around HK$30M ($3.9M) (325k admits). In comparison, Blade Runner 2049 did Hk$10.5M ($1.35M) (125k admits I suppose) China Tier 1 cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzen) have 83M populations vs 8M of Hong Kong. In these Tier 1 cities BR2049 did ¥27.7M ($4.1M) with 630k admits i.e. 5.05x in terms of admissions. Tier 1 cities were 36% of total China as compared to say something like 21% for Endgame. The same ratio for Dune should give around 1.65M admits and ¥82M gross ($12.75M). Assuming it will be better ratio for Dune at say around 30%, that will mean $42M total. PS. TENET HK to China Tier 1 cities was 5x. Not an exact science. There was some mistakes. Corrected. $40M is quite possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The studio behind Changjin didn’t want to use him in this film at first because their blockbuster The Founding of an Army was crushed by Wolf Warrior 2 in the summer of 2017(¥400M vs ¥5,600M) and had a grudge against him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
