How much do you expect for Life of Pi?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I originally expected $10M. didnt think they would push it so hard in China. Right now more like at least $15m.We have no idea yet about what the wom will be like. So stay tuned until tomorrow.

In other news, The Grandmasters is no longer in December, no new date set yet.

Tuesday:

2012 3D OD should be around 15M yuan. $2.4m

Exactly two years ago, 2012 OD 20M yuan.

Update:

2012 3D OD Tue 19.2M yuan $3.0M

It underperformed in big cities but exploded in small cities. Wom is awful though.

Bad 3D conversion I take it then?

Damn, I actually scheduled my flight back to the U.S. on December 21st on the off chance it might actually come out on the 18th. Here's hoping it's a long delay -- if it comes out in January, it probably won't be showing anywhere by the time I get back.

Word is that it will look for a date post the Cannes. So a long delay for sure.

Most people say bad 3D it has.

Sophie Marceau's love drama comedy Un bonheur n'arrive jamais seul will be released on 27th November as a revenue shared imported movie. It is said she will come to China for the promotion this weekend.

2012 3D is a buyout movie.

That makes sense. Wong is supposed to be jury president at February's Berlin festival, so I'm a little worried they might do a January release in China and then a out-of-competition international premiere in Berlin. But post-Cannes would probably be better since they could release it in China during the summer import blackout.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Yup. It could be the biggest tentpole if released late June or in July.

The studios just denied the delay, insisting on original date.

Will see.

[Bluebomb]

I don't think they will delay such a big tentpole film out of December. Studios want to make as much money as possible and Christmas is a very lucrative period.

Problem is the editing is not done yet. They may just miss the date.

they have to delay, post-production is still in progress.

[Bob Violence]

That's how Wong Kar-wai works, though. It's always down to the wire with him. Maybe the problem here is that he isn't used to skipping the festival premiere and going straight to wide release. With Cannes it's no problem to finish shooting a week or two before the festival and deliver a print the day before the screening. You can't do that with a big tentpole release and maybe he didn't fully appreciate that.Edit: Just saw the official denial, they're saying it'll be out "this year" but nothing about December 18th. Ugh, I'm gonna miss this, I just know it.

Relax ... I think they are gonna miss December, next Summer for sure. (At least according to insiders, the film wont be ready by the date).
