China's box office receipts are expected to reach 16.8 billion yuan ($2.7 billion) in 2012 and about 8 billion yuan ($1.28 billion), or slightly less than half the receipts, are from domestic films, the official People's Daily reported on Monday, quoting estimates from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

local films should have no prolem crashing foreign films in 2013.

Huayi does have 5 movies in the contract of Imax-exclusive, Chu Mo is the last movie.Fans are protesting on Weibo, and the message has been retweeted for thousands of times.And Huayi claimed this morning that they are willing to share IMAX screens with Hobbit.So coincidence?

Huayi's official reply says they don't have any agreements with IMAX company in 2013. It is not a compromise.

I hope people protest to get Les Mis in China. If it does get released there, how much should it make?

Yyets unleashed the dvd version of Skyfall today. It might influence the boxoffice a little bit.

[Olive]

It surely will.Many people are downloading now.

Shit happens ...

RE5 just came alive from its grave. Will be released sometime in Feb as a revenue sharing film. Another one of the 34 quota wasted ....

Happy New Year!!

Monday/Dec 31 Update:

The last day of 2012, a big day for cinemas, a 100M day, totaling Dec to 2.5B and yearly 2012 to 16.9B.

CZ12 43M

LiT 41M

Cume:

LiT 986M $158M

CZ12 524M $84M

Obviously CZ12 was way underestimated, should do around 850M $135M after all.

LiT $200M is locked. $210M is possible.

On Tuesday, today, Jan 1, the first day of 2013, LiT will cross the 1B yuan mark (in the afternoon to be exact), becoming the very first local film ever to do this.

It seems CZ12 has a good chance to win this week. And probably it's the last chance.
