Olive Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Friday showtimes Jian Bing Man 38.5% Monster Hunt 33.6% TMK 11.7% Forever Young 4.7% Shaun the Sheep 4.5% TT4 4.4% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTUS 2020 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 they need a better system of distributing showtimes. TMK would keep its screens in domestic and Saturdays number is always higher than Thursdays which often doesn't happen here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Violence Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) The book is not banned in China, I believe it will be fine. Books aren't as strictly policed as movies, though. A few years ago Stanley Kwan tried to adapt Han Han's 《他的国》 (a book readily available in shops throughout the country) and it didn't even make it through pre-production censorship. In other news, a 162-minute extended cut of Tiny Times 4 is being released on the 20th. Aside from being a pathetically desperate cash grab, it will probably have the lowest quality-to-running-time ratio of any movie ever made.

Olive Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I doubt any theater will schedule any showtimes for tt4 extended cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinaTakla Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 If Minions are in late August, Universal should be informed by next week, no? Like 45 days ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Jian Bing Man presales are insane, almost AOU level in some big cities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Will Monster Hunt at least gross 1B Yuan or will it be front loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Will Monster Hunt at least gross 1B Yuan or will it be front loaded? WOM is excellent for MH, but JBM will also be huge, competition is tough. On Friday, we may see 2 movie over 100M yuan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asyulus Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Will Monster Hunt at least gross 1B Yuan or will it be front loaded? I think it will fall short on it, mainly because of the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynosure Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Sorry if this isn't totally related to China but I'd figure people here would know. Does anyone have a link for the weekend box-office of Taïwan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTUS 2020 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 early numbers JBM 55m. Same as MH at this time yesterday. 145-165m projected MH 35. Down 40% from yesterday. 100-110m TMK 12.1m. Down just 5% with 33% showtime cut. 45-50m Shaun the sheep 3m. 8-10m projected These two will be down 90%+ this weekend TT 4-6m projected FY 4-6m Could be a 350m total 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 MH and JBM weekend presales are very close. Both movies are heavily promoted, so might be a bit frontloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 That's 170m OD so 1B for MH is apparently locked. MH is not Tiny Times. Overall this week will easily break the all time weekly boxoffice record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
