POTUS 2020 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 3 hours ago, firedeep said: It appears the three openers are 'locking' a lot of showtimes i.e. fans and maybe even the distributor themself book a ton of tickets in advance so that their movie takes as much screening capacity as possible, no matter how low the attendance is, just like what fans of OUAT have been doing. A fangirl of OUAT's Li Yifeng bought one ticket for each of the 26 showtims at a theater. There are thousands of such fangirls. This is beyond absurd. https://www.zhihu.com/question/63464212#answer-68138900 On one hand, people cannot get a ticket for WW2 as enormous shows are being soldout; on the other, OUAT fangirls are locking shows, making a hell of unproductive shows with only one or two seats sold. Theaters are enraged. As a beat back, some theaters are deciding to cancell all shows of OUTA starting on Monday. Talking about a war between retarded fangirls and theater operators at the height. They lose a lot of soda popcorn money that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is really true, the slowdown since 2016 will be totally a false alarm....overstatement of the so-called slowdown, the chinese cinema could just release WW2 solely for audience, and summer 2017 will be still an up from 2016!!

Barnack Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I expected a 850m-1000m dollar movie to possible really fast (around 2013/2014 I thought it would be possible by around 2018), but then after the recent slow down to an almost stop of the last 2-3 year's, I thought it could take Avatar 2 in 2021 to have a chance or something like that. The progression of the top movie was still strong to: Avatar aside: 2009: $69m 2013: $197m 2014: $320m 2015: $390m 2016: $526m 2017: will see but a lot Adding and other 100-130m to make a new record around 650 would not have been that surprising, but destroying it is. P.S. Depending where it stop, we will need to update our Avatar 2 box office in China ceiling potential, maybe it will be closer to 1.2/1.3b than 800m.

It should get the year up 14% YTD aug 31 w/o fees. WW2 will get local films flat YoY. HLWDs 5 1B+ films and Dangal are responsible for this years increase. HLWD will come back to end of aug and should do well with dunkirk, apes and BD. Then locals will have to step up for the october holiday. Aside from WW2, they are not faring well since CNY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took him 12 years to get avatar out after titanic. I assume theyll have $1b into the 4 sequels by the time 2 releases. What a gamble.

They did cut it in 2 block with 2 movie made/released at a time to diminish the giant stake a little bit (or give room to breathe to re-add something new technology wise in the last 2 movie) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
