Also, as expected, almost 2/3 of the audience interest is Male But it also mean almost 1/3 of them are girls, quite impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have read (in Chinese) the fans are making arrangement to visit HK to watch IW. And what makes you think that the native fans in HK will just rest and let their mainland guest take all their hot seats of the premiere in their own hood like a good guest Hell no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as expected, almost 2/3 of the audience interest is Male I still think the percentage (out of the total population in the city) of fans in tier 1 cities is slightly higher than tier 2, and tier 2 higher than tier 3 and so forth. But because the number of tier 2 cities (15) is far more than Tier 1 (4), the combined population of Tier 2 cities will be bigger than that of Tier 1. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_city_tier_system) Thus (a much larger populaton) x (a slightly smaller percentage of fanbase/city) results in Tier 2 cities having overall greater fanbase.

Yeah I realised this issue, after looking at Jurassic World, Incredibles, MI6 and finding they all had the same percentages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have you read that HK fans/cinemas/authorities protesting/strictly restricting/banning tourists from Mainland China (or any tourists from any other countries) to go to watch any movie in their first few days of showings? Have you? Or you just spoke not based on evidence but on wishful thinking? Come on, it is not like tens of thousands of fans are have time and money to flock to HK to watch IW, but as I carefully worded earlier "a number of" those "ardent fans", probably hundreds of them will go to HK. I am sure HK, being such a large metropolitan with huge numbers of tourists throughout the year, can accomodate hundreds of extra audience. I envisage a few very rich US diehard fans may fly to Australia/NZ on 25th April to watch IW as well.

It's more like people in Baltimore rushing to DC or Philadelphia. Many Chinese cities (including two of China's four Tier 1 cities, and several Tier 2 cities) are very close to HK. It's pretty easy for them to arrange a visit to HK. And they don't have to be rich to do that. Edited April 18, 2018 by LeoC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue that’s mostly due to it retaining more screens than most Hollywood films on its 2nd Friday...doesn’t have much to do with its reception. A lot of Hollywood films are cannibalized when the next big film comes out a weekend after it...that’s not the case here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
