China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

[baumer]

Yes, look at the weekly numbers, it even made top 10 last week.

Wow. I didn't even see that.

[Gazz]

A total of 36 Hollywood movies has been releasd in China. Out of the 36, 21 are revenue shared movies and out of the 21, 10 overperformed and 11 underperformed. While 6 (8) of the 11 buy-out movies overperformed.Out of the top 10 grossed HLW movies in China, only TDKR and TASM underperformed. And that is mostly because they were released on the same day. Out of the top 20, 7 underperformed.

I think you might want to check your Prometheus BO tally on this chart.Unless I'm misreading the chart or the film somehow gained about $8m over the last couple of days

The chart was projected total gross for Prometheus, TDKR, TASM and TE2.

@firedeep if you consider top grossing movies in Chna, they naturally overperform

animated moves still underperform (IA in America is not the yardstick)

but only 2 movies in top20 is surely the least for any country?

Not sure.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Yes, TE got a limited re-release along with TE2. Last July, TF2 also got re-released with TF3 and made a couple of millions yuan.

[fmpro]

They seem also dont like animations that much. Last year only KFP2 made the top 20 (#5).http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/korea/yearly/?yr=2011&p=.htmThis year, none so far.http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/korea/yearly/And of course, they love DWA much more Pixar.http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/korea/yearly/?yr=2010&p=.htm

Someone should send the weekend box office report to Ray at Mojo. Expendables 1 should have a higher international total now.

In yuan, the most accurate report can only be xx0,000. last four "0" at the best.

There wont be any Chinese coproduction in Avatar sequels. Cameron will make them the way he made the first one. The reason Cameron said they were "discussing the possibilty of co-operating with Chinese" is because he was attending a Chinese film festival at that time and was asked by some Chinese media if he had any desire to work with Chinese film companies. That was just a polite answer he gave.

And why would he have to give up some WW BO share if he wants to have Chinese involved?

i was wrong a month ago, when saying cameron would do avatars sequels as chinese coproduction because of huge increase of chinese box office. now, it seems i am not wrong after all. as i see it, there will be a lot of chinese influence in next avatars, wait and see.

Cameron, 58, still plans to shoot the performance-capture work on Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 in Los Angeles, live-action photography in Wellington, New Zealand, and VFX work at Wellington-based Weta Digital once preproduction finishes and filming gets under way in 2013. “That was the model for the first film,” he tells THR, "and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it."

But Cameron acknowledges that there are reasons to do some of the work on the films in China. “Within five years," he says, "China could easily be as big a gross-revenue market for film as North America, and there are very specific economic incentives for having both Chinese content and Chinese co-production. We are already funded on Avatar 2 and 3, but if we qualify as a co-production, there might be some incentives in the percentage of revenue we can take out of China.

"We are running the numbers to see if that makes sense.” At very least, the director could recruit Chinese actors to work in the movies, which will be distributed worldwide by Fox (though Cameron has not set release dates yet). “For Avatar, we can certainly use Chinese actors as performance-capture actors because any accent issues will hide within the Na’vi accent,” says Cameron
