I've had some Chinese friends say that Disney botched the IW marketing there especially in the rural and semi-urban regions. Going by Weibo, there's a ton of anticipation but I wonder if this is an urban phenomenon. Rural crowd is what usually gives a movie long legs.

But at this point, midnights plan is confirmed. A import film recently want to cancel it for itself, but China Film Group refused the request.

Last year they tried to have more attention of people lived in 3rd & 4th tier cities, town, but their methods didn’t work because they underestimated the enthusiasm of fans in big cities and made them angry by weird marketing strategies. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they've done better this year or hitting the right demographics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least right now, this time is better than what they did last year. I’m not sure if they found the right way to attract more audience from countryside, but things don't get mistake at this moment. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have any local partners or is Disney trying to build the base themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Yes. Disney never uses any local helper or co-financer. It is the only studio in the world who always 100% fully creative control, finance and marketing every one of their own films.

keysersoze123 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Should have opened on May day for record opening. 24th is a normal weekday right. What is the most it could do. Would Endgame lead to people taking off at work/skipping school to see it OD? Mostly midnights should be record breaking( ~ 70m). But I have no clue how to extrapolate a normal week. But overall gross should hit 3B+(I would say RMB equivalent of $500m). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Endgame can beat IW by $50m (about $425m); I’d be very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's along the line of "we don't want to share our profits". Curious to see how they handle 20th Century Fox, where many producers are in a first-look deal (and therefore profit-sharing).
