My goodness!! ?

do not take that seriously ...

I posted it only to show how much different POVs are out there. Some have a reason, like the extreme change in pre-sales... on such a short notice, others not so much...

[terrestrial]

I am already regretting it to have posted that....

Maoyan hasn't updated in the last hour. often happens outside of BO hours

CBO is at 88m now. It often reports 10% higher than Maoyan, I find it difficult to use internal multipliers from that site, It could be a good indication that Maoyan is up to 80m though. Im hoping for 100m in presales by 8am and a shot at 300m/$46m OD

Just came back from midnight screening and fans party in Beijing China 

 

 

Estimated number came in too:

Star Wars 7 opened with 17.8 million yuan (2.7 million US dollar ) for midnight shows naionwide.
It was the fouth highest midnight result just behind Furious 7 (7.95 million USD), Avengers 2 (4.51 million USD) and Transformers 4 (3.22 million USD) in China.

Saturday will witness more than 80,000 showings, the 3rd foreign films to have such wide release besides Furious 7 and Avengers 2. I will keep you updated.

Can someone break this down for me please? What is the opening weekend actually looking like in your opinions? 150 million dollar opening weekend from two days seems impossible to me.

Chinaboxoffice is indicating that the prediction of 150m OW is way off.

as posted earlier $40m OD is looking more and more likely based on realtime presales compared to all HLWD releases this past year

a typical drop tomorrow should be 25%

$70m OW 2day

the largest day for all films is about $65m. so no, 150m not possible. well theoretically if it had all screens, not 55% of them and many many sellouts

[baumer]

Yep for sure JB but theres been a few numbers thrown around here. So just wondering what the weekend prediction is now.

150M is impossible. More like 75-80M, if it holds well on Sunday.

its been stuck there for 90 min. Hasn't updated. when it does it should be over 80m based on the hourly run

[baumer]

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

 

So a total north of 150m is certainly possible.

It's impossible for TFA to get a $150M OW. I agree with Olive, the film is unfriendly to general Chinese audiences, just like AOU (maybe slightly better). As a fan, of course I enjoyed the film, but my friends were puzzled by the many details.

 

IMO, a 352M(17.8+190+145) yuan OW is reasonable, about 53M in dollars.

with most openers on sun mon tues, they often call the first 5 6 or 7 days the opening weekend in china. France usually opens on wed and the OS report includes that as a weekend number. This is a rare Saturday opening, could be confusing with a Monday opener. I could see 150m-175m thru next sunday.

presales rising steadily itll, be definitely above 60m, probly in the 70s. Maybe 80s

I think Baumer meant final total / endresult = not OW

 

By the many details?

Really good numbers, it's nice to see that the Chinese enjoy this movie. I never thought $200m are possible. LU HAN'S POWER lol

$110M is possible

 

Some of my friends were hard to understand the relationship of the characters, because they have never watched a star wars film before.
