A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 LOP looks to finish with 3M today. 12M thursday-sunday? 25M max, i would say. Looks Friday will be 60% increase from Thursday. Yeah, should be close to $3m. Solid. Lets if it can get another big increase, another 50%+ should happen, on Saturday. I think Thu-Sun should be more than 12M. Plus, word of mouth overal is quite positive. It is doing strong business in big cities while soft in small cities.

POLYLOVE Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It certainly will.And as far as I learn, the 5% refund will also be splitted between theaters and distributors.And the crap Painted Skin gets 10M Yuan rewards. Such a waste of taxpayers' money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I think it is a meh start.Many distributors expected $50~70m.It's not a meh start because you only predicted 100M in LOP OS thread, Unless you thought 50%+ of the gross was gonna come from China?

Wom is spreading. Problem is 1942 is coming next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is 1942 is coming next week.WOM is spreading. I expect 100M+ from US plus another 175-200M OS. It'll break even more or less, not a bad result for it considering people thought it was this year's Hugo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
