Even entgroup reports $4.19m weekend for Looper.

http://english.entgroup.cn/boxoffice/cn/

Is Endgame still saying $23-$25m? or are they being quiet and hoping it goes away?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

When they were reporting 23~25M they have no idea what they were doing. They know nothing about China's box office market, not even a tiny little concept.

I think at this point they will probably stay silent. Numbers don't lie, lol.

In China they sometimes do.

Just check previous weeks in the link above.

Can you post the admissions total for TE for the weeks before Sep 23? I do not have a weibo account so I cannot do check them.

Be as accurate as possible. thanks

firedeep, where did those very accurate admissions figures come from in the chart?

[kayumanggi]

I hope China doesn't fuck up the release dates of big films next year.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118060574.html?cmpid=RSS|News|FilmNews'Looper' China B.O. much lower than estimatedPic took $16.7 million in first 10 daysBy Andrew StewartWith the dust settled in China, opening box office figures for "Looper" officially came in much lower than previously estimated: Pic tallied $16.7 million from Sept. 28-Oct. 7, with $4.2 million earned during the first three days.The film's producers, Endgame Entertainment and Chinese company DMG, which is distributing "Looper" locally, first reported last weekend that the pic ranked No. 1 at the Chinese B.O. with an estimated $24 million.The official Chinese gross was delayed due to the country's observance of a weeklong holiday that ended Tuesday.What caused the pic's near-$20 million three-day discrepancy in China? Well, it's likely that the originally reported figure wasn't converted from local currency to U.S. dollars. For instance, 24 million yuan -- the figure reported in U.S. dollars for "Looper" in three days -- converts to roughly $3.8 million.Regardless, the pic's producers aren't too upset over the potential mix-up: "Looper," which cost about $30 million to produce, has cumed $86.2 million worldwide, including almost $46 million Stateside (via Sony-TriStar).Beyond the mainland, "Looper" has done well in markets including the U.K., where it's grossed $8.8 million; Australia ($7 million); and Russia, which so far has contributed $6.4 million (excluding this past weekend's figures not available Wednesday)."Looper" expands today through Sunday into 14 additional overseas markets, including Argentina, India, Mexico, South Korea and Taiwan.

I threw in a shout-out to the forums for being the first to crack this story last week:

http://www.boxoffice...mid-controversy

Wednesday (10/10) Update: Following controversial reports last week, a representative for FilmNation Entertainment confirmed to Boxoffice.com today that Looper has grossed $16.7 million to date in China, with the international total as of last weekend exceeding $46 million.

Special thanks to our Boxoffice.com Forums community for being the first to uncover the reporting error on October 1.
