Originally, I forecast $480M, but 1st Day seem slow (neither I was alive at that period). Let me see how Day 2 runs. I do not know what will happen tomorrow but at this moment your bet ($300M) is safest one. Maoyan Anticipation is about 860K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Our present target is to reach $1B in single market. Anything above like $1.5B is great but can not think about it as of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think given TBALC was just 4 months ago there would be much more “hype”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porginchina Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Some factors with Battle at Lake Changjin 2: -the first movie opened impressively on its first day but then grew throughout the National Day week… more of a Hi, Mom pattern than a Detective Chinatown 3 pattern (so expecting the sequel to break all the opening records seems… not the most likely) -the first movie had the advantage of opening during National Day, when more people might feel social pressure to participate in patriotic activities like seeing a patriotic movie -there's more competition during Spring Festival than there was during National Day -quickly browsing through reviews for the first one on social media, much of the praise is directed at elements external to the quality of the movie itself (i.e., the popularity of actors like Wu Jing and Jackson Yee, expressing support for soldiers in the People's Liberation Army, expressing appreciation for the peaceful/prosperous life modern Chinese enjoy thanks to the sacrifices that PLA soldiers made in conflicts like the Korean War/War to Resist American Aggression and Aid Korea (one of the main messages/themes in the movie)) -while the Battle of Choisin Reservoir was a tactical victory for the Chinese, it wasn't a clear-cut strategic victory and I'm not sure how this sequel will handle that (the best military history comparison for Changjin 2 is that it's kinda like making a movie about Dunkirk from the perspective of the Germans; granted, the first movie veered between indifference to historical accuracy and good old-fashioned tactical incomprehensibility, so basically all bets are off for part 2) -the first movie has some flat-out incompetent filmmaking with awful visual effects, atrocious editing, abysmal action sequences, etc. etc. I'm personally not sure how this sequel is going to do overall. The simple fact that it's a big propaganda movie doesn't mean anything since expensive government-endorsed movies don't always break box office records. I'm sure it'll make a lot of money, but I'll be surprised if it equals its predecessor. Going to be an interesting next week or so of pre-sales!

Nothing from west can beat the local products. This isn't just China. Most Asians countries have their own industries movies at top, South East Asia is bit lacking but getting there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
