Manu Delpech Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 You mean great. I expected GI Joe to do like 10 million opening, this is a big number for a "lesser" blockbuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Violence Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I know we all have low expectations for Hollywood movies in China now, but a $10m first week would've qualified it for bomb of the year. (For comparison, Oz--which had basically zero name recognition in China--made over $9m on its first weekend.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 How much does these types of films fall on sunday in china? In terms of drops, "genre" doesnot really work in China, since every movie drops pretty much randomly, all depends on qualities. Looks the earthquake badly hit Sunday.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 GIJ2 opening week likely to land around 208M $33.6M, falling short of Skyfall's 215M. FMR crossed the 500M yuan mark on Sunday, becoming biggest rom-com / March release, #7 biggest all time local release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMR crossed the 500M yuan mark on Sunday, becoming biggest rom-com / March release, #7 biggest all time local release. I think any hollywood movie that is likely to be a blockbuster could be considered a fiasco for making less than $60m in China.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 You could be right. Last year, most A-list Hollywood blockbusters made over/close $50M from China. This year $50M probably wont even get you a spot in the yearly top 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Why's that? 7 working days, (at least) two big new opening. So Young, a possibly $100M-plus grosser, is opening on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
