What's the current record for highest presales?

Warcraft I remember. JTTW2 official Weibo said the record has been taken by themselves.

Does Kong: Skull Island have a release date in China? I don't see anything about it on IMDb. Would be shocked if it didn't considering Wanda owns LP.

No. But it was almost sure the release date is Mar.10.

Truly ridiculous.  Do all films report service charges or do studios pick and choose to pad reported totals?

 

 

All films have service charges. And from now on, the final numbers you see will include those money.

So from now on but it ill be included but not before?

 

It really is nonsense padding since none of that money goes to the studio.  They might as well start rolling in food and drink concessions sold to ticket holders for each specific movie...

Finally can say hi to all，feel a bit better now but sadly cannot track CNY BO with you guys

 

Better if you rest, Olive. We'll be waiting for you!

[Daxtreme]

Random question but do 3D glasses overcharge in the US go to the studio, or at least part of it?

 

If not... this shouldn't be counted in.

Does China decide on American releases late?

Well, it's not like all the money went to the studios before this either

I think the additional fee usually gets counted as part of the ticket-price in Germany as well, so it isn't all that outrageous to include this, though the system might be quite a bit different. I don't really see a problem with counting it towards the movie, because you have to pay this if you want to buy your ticket that way, making it definately part of the normal process.

 

The odd part isn't that that it gets counted, but that it gets changed now, because that makes comparisons a bit harder, not to mention unfair towards older movies.

Yes. China Film Group decides which day the import films open.

Not surprising. I don't remember the last time Jackie released a good movie.

 

By the way, as of 9:30 PM, JTTW2 has 126.86M in presales and has officially beaten Mermaid's presales.

Do you know how much Mermaid and other top movies would have made with the service charge?

Pretty simple, seems like you just add 5-6%

[Mrstickball]

$644 million RMB is the current single-day record, correct? Do midnights get included in that number? One would think that with the pace of JTTW2 and other movies, there's a good shot at the market hitting $700 million RMB today.
