A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Any updates for the friday's numbers? Like for JTTW, skyfall, and cloud atlasno accurate number yet. But Jttw crossed 500m yuan in 6 days. Maybe over 510m. Edited February 16, 2013 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 some movies were delayed longer but still did great.As for the screen counts, that happens to every movie if it is not holding great.Underperforming is underperforming. It may could have done better if released in better conditions but won't do significant better. Since it was not great liked by GA. Released any time, result not much difference. Not always true, LOP was making quite a bit of money when it was kicked out of the theaters. Most likely would have made around 120M+ instead of the 91M, if not for the 30 day window.

Michael Seng Wah Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Jttw beating TF3 single day record is the first time since 2006 the daily record comes back to a local film. TF4 will beat back hahaa, and the the cycle repeats, taken back by the local film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 JTTW will break $100m in a couple of days, which means this market, starting mid December last year, has produced 3 $100m films in just a litle over 2 months. And if you look at it, one of them actually grossed $200m, another did $150m, and now JTTW will easily crush $150m. And this is still a developing market.

SchumacherFTW Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 China and the US will likely account for half to two thirds of a movie's total gross in a few years I think. Give it 10 and China will be equal to the US I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Bennett Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Unfortunately there is too little explosion in Jack Reacher to satisfy the Chinese audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Violence Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Brad Pitt's weibo(chinese twitter) was mysteriously vanished...it seems that he is still banned in China more than a decade because of his movie in 1997.If they're really going to block a new Brad Pitt movie because of one he made in 1997, it would be a massive backslide--Troy and Mr. and Mrs. Smith both got mainland releases, and so did Happy Feet Two if you count that as a "Brad Pitt movie." (Most of the movies Pitt has made over the last few years aren't the sort of movies that get Chinese releases anyway.) Jean-Jacques Annaud directed Seven Years in Tibet and has not only had movies released in China since then, but also served as jury president at the Shanghai Film Festival and will begin shooting a Sino-French production (Wolf Totem) in April. Martin Scorsese's ban for Kundun has evidently been lifted as well, since Hugo got a belated mainland release last year.Maybe the new leadership is so sensitive about Tibet that they're re-imposing old bans--in which case Wolf Totem is in big trouble--but my favorite theory is that Pitt's Weibo was deleted not because of a ban but because they don't want people discussing the fact there was ever a ban in the first place. Given the Chinese censors' obvious ignorance of the Streisand effect, that sounds plausible enough to me.
