Sam Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 No, I want Druv's initial dream of 100M+, not this puny 70M number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Worrying girls dragging their boys to So Young. You know these things always happen. While boys cant drag girls to movies. I just watched the trailer of So Young, and I don't understand the buzz about it o_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 I just watched the trailer of So Young, and I don't understand the buzz about it o_o Me neither, let alone you as a foreigner ... ah, I mean I can understand the buzz but I myself have no interest in the movie at all.

TLK Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 You need a subscription to read this article and I don't have one but two things - a) Hollywood studios share in China is 25% of the gross and 2) China has imposed some new tax that Hollywood hates and there is a big dispute going on. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324743704578447010231952762.html?mod=WSJ_hps_sections_business Twentieth Century Fox is refusing to accept about $23 million it is owed on Chinese box-office receipts for producing "Life of Pi" as a result of a clash between Hollywood and Chinese authorities, studio executives say. The dispute centers on a new value-added tax that China is in the process of imposing on a wide range of goods and services. When it comes to movie tickets, state-owned distributor China Film Group has recently sought to deduct the cost of the tax entirely from foreign producers' share of the box office, said several people involved in international film distribution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 It says So Young OD 45m yuan. That is huge: biggest Friday opening, bigger than MIB3 (May 25) 42M. biggest OD for a 2D local movie Expecting Fri-Sun opening to be at least 140M. 140 + 280 + 120 + 60 +30 = 630M total ? Hmm ...

Heretic Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I don't think anyone really cares about this So Young fuckers numbers. But if IM3 doesn't do as well as it can because of it, then there is a big problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revised to 46.5M OD. Yeah no one here cares about it it seems. But it is one of the biggest releases of the year. And for that reason, its run deservers a watch. So called market analysis ... Many movies that I dont even want to see were reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) About IM3 release schedule: Copies: IMAX 3D / 3D / 2D; 2K Digital Release time: May 1th 00:01am ~ June 09th 24:00pm. 40 days / 6 weeks. That is one week longer than normal foreign release. And should have no problem to have an extended run if it still can solid business in its 6th week.
