Olive Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 This weekend will have several big new releases(3 local +1 Thai) and re-issue of a One Piece movie. But Alien R should have 20% of total showings of the market, will be disappointed if it not increase from OW. Summer break still has 10 day left. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 With Romulus looking to be a huge hit in China, the country continues so unpredictable in what Hollywood films they embrace. If China helps Romulus get a sequel then that would be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solaris Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Genuine question - can someone explain to me: - Why Romulus is breaking out so much in China? - Why it's legs are projected to be so strong after just the opening weekend (I've seen $100m being discussed as a potential total), when my understanding is that the Chinese market is usually the opposite of leggy (particularly for Hollywood releases) Thanks!

I will let @Olive or @Gavin Feng answer 1st question. But China has 2 kinds of run. Movies that have 2x or even less legs if WOM is meh or worse. But we have had breakouts where movies have done 10x+ legs of OW. It used to be common pre COVID for big breakouts. Zootopia was one and there was many movies. Even Aquaman/Venom had a leggy run in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I’m just guessing, but it might be because a lot of horror movies don’t get released in China, so Romulus might be tapping into the desire for more horror/monster movies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seduh7 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 amazing performancy by Alien : Romulus, I love how China can surprise. I expect it to make at least $100 there, with big chances of China becoming the biggest market for Alien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the absence of supernatural horror made the "horrified" experience a novelty factor. Anyway, the movie seem slowing down a bit as the weekdays goes by, down another 18% from yesterday.

Issac Newton Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Lahn Mah will probably test how powerful Chinese WOM can works. The Thai Title has extreme strong WOM growth in any market just after release. Hong Kong/Taiwan might speaks different but Singapore is promising that Mainland China should work! Currently, going with ¥11.5M OD Forecast / ¥111M Final Forecast per Maoyan! Let's see!

Issac Newton Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 ¥10.9M OD incl. Previews. Not much changes in Final Forecast upto ¥107M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Robert1 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 In my opinion 120-130 mln prediction for Alien were too optimistic, still great achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
