Olive Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Online buzz for EP7 seems on par with MI5(880M, 2D), but it will have way less competition, so 1B yuan we can expect. Though some are only predicting 100M USD, they say this movie won't play into Chinese audience's heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the NY holiday this weekend, it shouldn't be difficult. I'm confident although it will face 4 new big openers, Detective Chinatown & Heart of Heaven on 12/31 and Little Door Gods & Everybody's Fine on 1.1. Will Heart of Heaven break out like Goodbye Mr. Loser? Will Little Door Gods be the next Monkey King? No and no. Heart of Heaven should do decent thanks to Goodbye Mr. Loser's breakout. My friends have seen LDG and they can't see it make half of MK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has 31.132 likes at the moment. KFP3 has 13.886 despite coming out three weeks later, and these things tend to increase massively when release dates approach. 14 minutes ago, The Good Olive said: Online buzz for EP7 seems on par with MI5(880M, 2D), but it will have way less competition, so 1B yuan we can expect.

So the report claiming that a $150m OW is being tracked is getting their sources elsewhere, like maoyan perhaps? Or just being bullish about it.

sgchn40 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Was looking at the top 10 movies of all time in China today. It's amazing that 4 out of the top 5, and 6 out of the top 10 are from 2015... Given that Mojin is now 11th on the all time list, by the end of today, 7 of the top ten all time list in China will be 2015 movies... http://www.cbooo.cn/Alltimedomestic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDG, 80m+ budget, would be luky to not lose money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP1025 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Somebody mentioned in another thread that Avatar had 2 months in China instead of the usual 1 month, which is one of the reasons it legged its way to $204 million back in early 2010. With the usual 1 month restriction, how much can Avatar 2 hope to gross given market expansion since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things could be very different by A2 comes it; the one month rule could changed by that time. And, special circumstance can be arranged for special film... this is China if you know what I mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Avatar 2 will open bigger and so can grow with shorter window. But I am not buying the 1B $ potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his perfectionist streak, I won't be surprised if the film comes out only 2021... If he dies making Avatar 2 (touchwood), it has a chance of just doing that.

Everytime a new big local comes out.....that's the one people are about more. And it dampers the interest quickly than you can say...."Gone in a week". I know one or two locals could take away a small chunk of KFP's screens.....but interest should stay for "Panda". My updated prediction for KFP3 in China: $225m OS - China: $450m Total OS: $675m Plus $175m domestic Total: $850m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The previous single day record is around 398M yuan($61.5M by current exchange rate). That $150M prediction is obviously for its total instead of OW. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
