This is a result of the ongoing Covid issues in the market where 73% of cinemas are open and there is a confidence issue amid the about-face from the government on the zero-Covid policy. The resultant sneaks, before official opening on Friday, were worth RMB 20M ($2.9M). We wrote yesterday that $100M was possible in China this opening weekend; we are now taking a more cautious stance, even if hope springs. Douban and Maoyan critical and social scores have not yet posted. " 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPLC has a habit of dealing in absolutes but I wouldn't say it's "doomposting". If China comes in under $300M, that means DOM + OS-C-R would need $1.7B+ for $2B. Right now I'd say DOM is looking like $600-650M so we would still need good numbers in every other OS market to get over $2B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLurking Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 It's hyperbolic to say 2b is out but it definitely is not to suggest the possibility. Hell, I said it this morning even. This will need very strong legs if it wants to get 2b. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkalaitza Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I mean it may do less than Aquaman and it will be disappointing but there is important context missing about the current situation in China and the social dynamics and covid related factors that would lead to that underperformance.It seems that way too me . It seems like it indeed got a bad placement and it opening in this crucial ,winter no less, month of China changing Covid approaches substantialy will be for the worse for Avatar BO even compared to opening during Zero Covid but with Shanghai and Benjing out of large scale lockdown like some movies managed these last couple of years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking sub $100m OW and ~$250m Overall Given the way things have gone I would take them with a bit of salt honestly. If the covid fear is this real I expect things will only get worse after OW (if people are so afraid on OW those on the fence will definitely be even harder to draw out in these conditions). I do not know if there is any truth to lackluster reception in China but if it is true I would certainly go under that maoyan number by a lot.

Yeah my understanding is that Covid fear,uncertainty and surge are an all time high rn and thats whats making the biggest impact by far. But actually its likely that weekdays and legs will benifit from that. People are afraid of going in a closed space with 100+ people in full (restrictions included) capacity in the OW. But even if things arent better in the coming weeks covid wise , each screening will be much less packed and populated 6/10/15 days in so people will probably that didnt attent earlier due to that fear may be more likely to Edited December 15, 2022 by Gkalaitza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
