The Toymaker Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Oh, ok. I can see how that makes me look like a douche. But it was a genuine mistake. I was only thinking about the numbers, I didn't even recognise the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 From Latimes: 'Expendables 2' beats 'Dark Knight Rises,' 'Spider-Man' in China The original "Expendables" was a surprise success in China, grossing $32 million. However, producer Millennium was not able to secure one of the country's coveted quota slots for imported movies, which allow producers to share in box office revenue, but generally no more than 24% of a film's gross ticket sales. Instead, Millennium sold the first "Expendables" film outright to a local distributor for about $600,000. This time, Lerner said, Millennium should take home about $10 million from China for "The Expendables 2," and he hopes the returns will be even better for a third "Expendables" film, which is now in the works. Some of their box office numbers is a little off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 So what's the dollar gross for Ex2 in China now? Wonder ... is it the Jet Li factor? Or they just love kickass action movies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 So what's the dollar gross for Ex2 in China now? Wonder ... is it the Jet Li factor? Or they just love kickass action movies? Rough numbers from last page: Titanic 3D 154.9M MI4 107.8M TA 91.4 MIB3 82.4M IA4 72.6 Journey2 61.5M TDKR 55.4M TE2 53.9M TASM 51.1M Battleship 50.3M JC 42M PROM 35.9M MaD3 34M More ... So it is 53.9M. I would say even without Jet Li, its numbers wont see much changes. With Jet Li, it just became easier for it to get a China release.

SchumacherFTW Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I wonder how much TE2 benifited from being last out of the gate for the big 4. It definitely had a much smoother run than TASM and TDKR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 I wonder how much TE2 benifited from being last out of the gate for the big 4. It definitely had a much smoother run than TASM and TDKR. A smoother run, yes, but relatively. It still got hurt by the over-crowded schedule. It was in a market that got overexploitated by TDKR/TASM/PROM. What better for it was, no new release 10 days within its opening. We cannot really say which of the four benifited the most, since none benifited actually. But we can say which got least hurt: TE2. And TASM was hurt the most. TE2 < TDKR < PROM <TASM, in term of most hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Friday update: Early tracking suggets Bait 3D is breaking out from the NINE openers and it will beat Taken 2 through the weekend. The Cold Light of Day and The Expatriate are both bombing. Pathectic weekend overal. Will be the lowest grossed week of the year to date.

The Toymaker Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 As soon as people see that Bait 3D is shit, it'll drop hard. But this is just the type of movie that Chinese would go and see and actually enjoy. So, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 That's pretty shocking. It bombed here, so I have no idea why its breaking out in any capacity, let alone in first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
