Olive Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 No 2D? Is it like that for blockbuster movies? Yeah, I really hate this. Most 3D blockbusters get no 2D shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebomb Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 No 2D, it is always like this. Ah yes, I've seen this before in HK. Chinese love their 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLYLOVE Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Ah yes, I've seen this before in HK. Chinese love their 3D. The quota for MOS is only in 3D. IM3 has 2D shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The quota for MOS is only in 3D. IM3 has 2D shows. That is good news for MOS since it'll help with overall gross. 3D prices are sure more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLYLOVE Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 That is good news for MOS since it'll help with overall gross. 3D prices are sure more expensive. But people who love 2D movies will stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) But people who love 2D movies will stay away. Hmm, there's that too I forgot, and I was talking about how higher ticket prices (especially for fancier yet totally unnecessary formats) turning people off from watching a movie in theater with Bluebomb just yesterday.

POLYLOVE Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yep, 2D movies are more enjoyable to me...especially IMAX 2D, which is becoming a rare thing in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alee7915 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) China Box Office 3/6 - 9/6 Rank Title Origin 3/6-9/6 Total (US$) Days on Release 1 Star Trek Into Darkness USA $12.73m $38.77m 13 2 American Dreams in China China $8.27m $77.44m 24 3 Switch China $8.01m $8.01m 1 4 Colombiana USA $2.18m $2.18m 3 5 I Love Hong Kong 2013 Hong Kong $1.59m $1.59m 6 6 The Croods USA $0.89m $63.31m 51 7 Iron Man 3 USA $0.53m $121.20m 40 8 Happy Little Submarine 3--Rainbow Treasure China $0.41m $7.30m 10 9 Oblivion USA $0.36m $23.86m 31 10 Kuiba 2 China $0.35m $3.33m 10 Star Trek Into Darkness holds on to the top spot at the China Box Office for a second week, but Jay Sun's action-packed spy thriller Switch arrives late in the week and already looks like a huge success. J. J. Abrams' big budget Star Trek sequel holds firm at the top of the chart, but there was no real competition for pole position, so manages to do so despite only pulling in a modest RMB78 million in its second week. Peter Chan's American Dreams in China wrung another RMB51 million out of punters, putting it at RMB475 million after 24 days on release, but both films are about to be eclipsed by the Andy Lau action vehicle, Switch. On its first day of release, Switch came close to matching Dreams' entire haul for the week, taking RMB49 million on Sunday alone. The debut feature from TV producer Jay Sun was originally slated for a November 2012 release and has been repeatedly pushed back, re-edited and post-converted into 3D for mainland audiences. Despite the fact it really isn't any good, Andy Lau's star power shows no signs of letting up andSwitch could well prove to be a monster summer hit.Lower down the charts, Olivier Megaton's 2011 actioner, Colombiana, finally opened last week and quietly pulled in a modest RMB13 million after 6 days, while Hong Kong Lunar New Year comedy I Love Hong Kong 2013 also debuted in the past week, netting RMB10 million. Hollywood blockbusters The Croods,Iron Man 3 and Oblivion all managed to stay another week in the chart, while domestic blockbuster So Young, from actress Zhao Wei, and fellow thesp Charlie Young's Christmas Rose, both dropped out of the top ten.In the week ahead, a string of locally produced films are looking to get a piece of the action before the arrival of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel on 20 June. Supernatural thrillers Mysterious Face and Bu Bu Zhui Hun 3D, drama Time to Show and animation Voyage Extraordinaire 3D all hit screens in the next seven days, but the smart money will be on Andy Lau taking all the money this side of Superman. http://twitchfilm.com/2013/06/china-box-office-switch-primed-to-send-star-trek-packing.html Edited June 13, 2013 by deepfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should cross $50M on Sunday. Probably will finish just at $55M. Pretty good a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Jet Li's Badges of Fury just moved up one week, now opening on June 21, a day later than MoS. Tiny Times still sets for June 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Jet Li's Badges of Fury just moved up one week, now opening on June 21, a day later than MoS. Tiny Times still sets for June 28. Hmm, so even after the confirmed partnership that should help WB major releases in China, looks like MOS is still getting screwed somewhat by them? How much would Jet Li movie affect MOS?
