So it only showed for 6 hours and still made that huge opening amount? How does it compare to the openings of other recent animated films? I find the Chinese box office fascinating since it exploded about 10 years ago. Edited April 3 by tarabeesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's actually more like previews (though local industry still call things like this OD). It's the first import movie hitting ¥100M OD since FX... third best OD for import animated movies behind Despicable Me 3, Kong Fu Panda 3. THU-FRI-SAT are national holidays (SUN this time is a workday). It can try the daily record for a import animated movie held by Frozen 2 with ¥167.55M. Then: - ¥337M lifetime gross to beat North America - ¥433M lifetime gross to beat Japan I hope it can challenge US+CANADA+JAPAN (China finally beat The US Japan Alliance somehow) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely astonishing numbers. If it does manage something in this range, its final gross could far surpass any predictions.

Issac Newton Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Seems like SEED Freedom release in China is called off (same reason as JJK but this time it's the director instead of PR Team). Seed Freedom was originally supposed to release in May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issac Newton Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 $90M / ¥650M is roughly equivalent to wait SLAM DUNK did in it's entire run - ¥660M. I can't see that happening unless God's willing Maoyan Projection for OW ¥101M Wednesday 18:00 ¥160M Thursday ¥104M Friday ¥68M Saturday ¥20M Sunday ¥453M / $63M - 5-Days OW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seed Freedom was originally supposed to release in May So it will no longer release, such a shame I think SEED is the most popular of the Gundam series in China so it could have done good numbers.

Some are still waiting to confirm but Mitsuo Fukuda tweets were all viral across the Weibo. He has deleted all the tweets but I guess it will hardly make a difference - Extremely shameful because SEED was supposed to get a confirmed date in a couple 2-3 days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
