China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

[iceroll]

Gov never intends to oppress hollywood films. They make money on them. Some movies such as IM3 even gain invests from chinese companies. The only reason why hollywood films can't perform well is there are no such movies attracted to the chinese audience at the moment. Let's check it out. Skyfall, being the highest grossing u.s film this year, was criticized for lacking of actions and defects in script. Hobbit is appealing to core fans only. DH5 doesn't even have a script. And OZ as a fairy tale is no way tempting to modern teenagers.

You can't really spin 3 month delays and tight scheduling that directly puts Hollywood movies in direct competition with each other as anything but a negative... Also would I be correct to assume that marketing for Hollywood films is more restricted too, so only Chinese films can get big promotional campaigns with TV ads, billboards etc.

Looks GIJ2 exactly around 25M OD as I put. 300M is basically dead.

25M is bad?

Slightly better than Skyfall

[POLYLOVE]

GIJ2's OD maybe won't reach Skyfall level, but still good.

Still too early to tell...

 

The biggest threat is IM3 next week that badly cut its legs.

10 days already enough for GIJ2 to burn steam.

Hmm, I might have underestimated G.I.Joe 2 ....

 

It is doing Skyfall numbers. Relatively short delay (two weeks) saved it.

I see this:

 

30+28+25+22+27+35+29=200M $32M full opening week or so

 

 

With 1.7x, 350M $56M finish.

Cool.  Hopefully it won't exhaust the audience for the upcoming IM3. The good news is that Joe can run its full-throttle performance for 10 days before the next major competitor to be released on 26th

Paramount must be happy laughing ....

[Alex Bennett]

On the other hand....Columbia pictures had a terrible day in China....I saw many ads of Django in public places which they might have put a lot of money on.

The day time shows were underwhelming but the evening ones really picked up, if only it is a sign for strong weekend boost and legs.
