A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Why annoying?I hate any movies that re-releasing in 3D to grab money.I believe Titanic is a much better film. One of my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 $222M? I think you're a little optimistic...Like I said, "It really got great release date. Great opening, great word of mouth and great holiday boost."Just check next two weeks schedule, the holidays, actually everything, are perfectly set for its great legs. Everything is perfect "天时地利人和“.This is an event, "2012" is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I might be a little too optimistic, 222M maybe wont happen. But I do think $200M is very likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 That would be really awesome. Can't believe Avatar is going down in another country...Avatar 2 will avenge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Avatar 2 will avenge it. TF4 will do it before that.Whatever the record will be by Summer 2014, TF4 will destroy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLYLOVE Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Avatar 2 will avenge it. And here we will have another Lost in XX. :PIt will become a big local franchise, just like Avatar and Transformers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 And here we will have another Lost in XX. :PIt will become a big local franchise, just like Avatar and Transformers.Maybe they can do the opposite of Hangover, and for the second film do a "Lost In Vegas". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2002 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) If this over-heating continues (which it probably will), LiT will definitely sail past $150m and then the next goal is of cause Avatar. But CZ12 seems to be a really strong competition (another $100+m grosser most likely), and their boxoffice runs in the next few weeks are probably neck and neck. It would be interesting to see if the volume of the market is big enough tho. Edited December 21, 2012 by vc2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 All time record holder Avatar has 27M attendence, even LiT fails $200M, it will still fly past Avatar in attendence with like 10M more ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think $150m is enough to call it selling more tickets than Avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see if the volume of the market is big enough tho.LiT and CZ12 each has more screens than Avatar ever had.When Avatar opened, there were only 5000 screens national wide. Now, more than 12,000.With this Dec crazy like this, I think the market now has just entered another level from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Assuming LiT gets 40M admissions, which film can beat it in the future ? Very very hard.TF4 will have to make something like 2B yuan ($320M) to beat LiT in adms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a couple of other new releases. They dont have as much screens as those two do tho.Anyway, this Dec will give us a clear idea.

juni78ukr Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Do you have any info on CZ12? I believe it opened yesterday. With russian release on January, 31, it will be highest grossing chinese film in Russia by a very wide margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
