China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

[Fake]

Decent OD.Looks to do about $20m 3-day and 50m total.

[Elessar]

They are fudging to keep JTTW number 1!!!

[JCS]

I just want Hobbit to hit $1B WW so $40M is fine for China, was not expecting it to be massive there even with 3D.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

No fudge ...

 

Saturday JTTW still leading, with 10% ahead or more.

[peludo]

You guys happy for $40m ？That would be the most terrible thing in Chinese theatrical history, the bomb of bombs.

Beyond the average run it has had around the world, after listening and reading in this forum every bad omen about this movie in the last two months like bad grosses in Taiwan and Hong Kong, huge competition because of local titles, horrible release date (just after New Year), I have learnt to be realistic with this franchise. This week I was expecting 35-40 and it seems it will be its final result. Horrible result? of course. I had expected over 100 just 3 months ago. But now it is not a surprise. Firedeep, I have to congratulate you because it will be accomplished in China what you have been saying during last weeks.

Bomb of bombs? Oh PLEASE.

[Heretic]

H8ER.

[Elessar]

When IM3 doesn't come anywhere close to $500m DOM i'll call it the bomb of bombs.

Awww you sound upset

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Looks exactly around 50% Saturday increases all around as suggested.

Next Hollywood disappointment in China: DH5

 

OZ will do well.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Early Saturday estimates:

 

JTTW 52M +45%

HOBBIT 48M +37%

 

That would be an extremely terrible Saturday jump for Hobbit, the worst Saturday boost ever of all major Hollywood releases opened on Friday, which right responds its poor GA reactions. With that number, 3 days opening will be 123M or so. 300M total is dead, more like 280M, or 100M less than 2D Skyfall.

 

Sub 300M yuan means it wont touch the yearly top 20 chart, bad just bad, especially considering ROTK was the #1 foreign film in 2004.

 

Gotta to say, this is now the most disappointing performance in China for a movie I have seen. Never really imagined this could really happen. Just disappointing.

[Elessar]

What a terrible jump for JTTW, just a little bit better than Hobbit despite Friday not being its OD. 

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Usually movie jumps at least 45% on Saturday whichever day it opens. And plenty jump 70%+ (MIB3, POTC4), or even 100%+.

[bryan]

So, 1B is not happening

[A Marvel Fanboy]

1B will still happen but that's not what I am caring.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Some funny records Hobbit will still have no matter how disappointing it is performing:

 

Fouth biggest movie of all time that never won any weekly chart after Flying Swords of Dragon Gate 3D (555M), TDKR(350m), and Back to 1942 (360m).

 

Biggest movie of all time that never won any day ... 

[Elessar]

Usually movie jumps at least 45% on Saturday whichever day it opens. And plenty jump 70%+ (MIB3, POTC4), or even 100%+.

 

Doesn't matter. If Hobbit has a terrible jump, so has JTTW. OD does inflate its gross at least a little bit (midnights).

Don't tell me you expected gigantic numbers. You must have expected huge numbers for you to be disappointed like this.

[John Marston]

I know, after Hobbit did mediocre numbers in Asia I immediately lowered my expectations for China. I am happy with a 35-40m gross
