keysersoze123 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Pirates midnight number is fantastic. But its PS is not great. It needs a great PS multi to have a par OD. Dangal has slowed down and I think will stop around 1B yuan. Still fantastic run. Guardians will slow down considerably and will either barely make or miss 100m USD. Legs were not bad but overall run is meh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick with 3x minimum 140m. Maybe 150m. WW looking weak so far. Dangal just 15m tomorrow.

Do you have any pre-sales number for comparison ? But, that is not surprising at all, TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know WW marketing in China is fucking great and better than Pirates5+Mummy+GotG2 even if its official weibo made some stupid issues. Tencent+Wanda, who earned the chance for WW holding previews on May.31, are good partners of WB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douban its already at 7.6. Maoyan is always high. Guardians started at 9.3. Anyway its off to a fast start. Already at 58.3m and climbing. As @POTUS said its going to open to 140-150m. Big question is how the legs will be. Tomorrow its showcount is down 15%. Edited May 26, 2017 by keysersoze123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 doubling 7 day gross is fantastic. Most movies struggle to double even 3 day gross. F7 did great and had great 2nd/3rd/4rth weekend holds. Both F7 and Fate had open runs as well. Fate benefited from screen expansion to finish slightly higher than F7. I am not saying Fate's gross was bad. Just that it was not leggy.

Gavin Feng Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 local filmmaker begged theaters to give more showtimes for their “good film” Edge of Innocence. The films producer Ann An said this on Weibo: We made many good films like Perhaps Love, 14 Blades, Ip Man 1&2, Tiny Time 1&2, Zhong Kui and so on. All of them earned great WOM from audience. We do solid work and never ask for help from others, which is a very valuable spirit in China film industry. We spend two years to make the film called Edge of Innocence. It earns 9.1 on Maoyan(previews. It will open on Tomorrow). It changed its release date because of actor/actress changing, and was in trouble like budget shortfalls. But those difficulties offered us the great power to make a great work. (actor/actress are good and bla bla bla) It’s a good film no matter which way you review it. But it only has 5.5% showtimes on opening day. Other local films’ showtimes have about 10% on opening day, too. But Pirates 5 has 51%. Local films are definitely dead in this kind of environment. Hope Theaters can cut the showtimes of Pirates 5 and it won’t hurt its box office. Please save local films, please! please! http://weibo.com/1403517201/F4RrPt2hW?type=comment#_rnd1495776309623 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a dragon boat festival weekend, meaning big money for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
