China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

[Elessar]

A few notes:

1. Skyfall and Hobbit will open together on January 10th (the Thursday). Premier schedule will be 1.10~2.09 for both.

5. RE5, Cloud Atlas, etc could aslo possibly be released in January.

Dunno what's gotten into them. I can't remember them releasing two big blockbusters on the same day prior to the TASM / TDKR thing, each movie at least got one week. But now suddenly some asshole decided to screw foreign movies over even more. Edited November 26, 2012 by Elessar

RE5 is dead. There are now SF, TH and CA, three big foreign movies in Jan.

Isn't RE being released in China then? Why not?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It is said no space for it. A local 3D animation will be released in January.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Official report says Life of Pi (3D) grossed 106M yuan ($16.9M) through Thu-Sunday from 2361903 attendence via 56876 screenings.

That would put it at 41.5 people per show and $7.18 average ticket price, which is 2nd highest ever for a foreign movie.

IMAX grossed $2.4M for Pi on 78.

2012 (3D) opend 2nd place with $14.5M via 6 days. I will do the full chart tonight when back home.

Update:

After 6 days, life of Pi has grossed estimated 136M yuan ($21.7M) by Tuesday.

Breakdown (roughly) as below [using 101M yuan $16.1M for OW]:

Thu ￥12M

Fri ￥18M +50%

Sat ￥38M +110%

Sun ￥33M -13%

Mon ￥14M -58%

Tue ￥20M +42%

Prediction for rest of this week:

Wed ￥11M -40%

Thu ￥7.2M -40%

Fri ￥10.8M +50%

Sat ￥21.6M +100%

Sun ￥18.4M -15%

￥103M 2nd week, basically staying flat with OW. 204M yuan after 11 days. That would be $32.6M in $.

Can 2012 reach 31M (800 WW?

[Fake]

300m finish possible?

[iceroll]

Why is the BOM gross for LOP so much lower?

[Bob Violence]

BOM are evidently using CFG's original figure, which was later revised upward: http://www.filmbiz.asia/news/pis-asian-slice-bigger-by-half

[iceroll]

So it should be updated soon?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Can 2012 reach 31M (800 WW?

Nope. From Thursday, its shows count will be cut to 5% from 20%.It will have the worst leg for a film ever.PS. By Tuesday, it is at $16M

[A Marvel Fanboy]

300m finish possible?

Hardly possible.For 300M to happen, it needs no less than 10M on Thursday and 110M+ for the whole week.Shows count will be cut to less than 20% from current 30% on Thu. Also it loses IMAX, which generates 10~15% box office for Pi, on Thursday.

[POLYLOVE]

So far, the lowest gross of LoP is the openning day. :DWhat an incredible run.

[Olive]

Yeah, this is how WOM works.I'll go to see LoP tomorrow.

[POLYLOVE]

Breaking:

For punishment of unsatification of Taichi's B.O. performance, Huayi won't allow its 1942 run in 362 theaters naionwide.

Drama in the last minutes....1942 is going to release in just 7 hours. This will ultimately benefit LoP and The Last Supper.

Huayi is really like a bully in this case.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

That has already been settled, a farce. All back to normal now as nothing happened.

[Fullbuster]

China will be the biggest OS market for LoP, easily!
