China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

[Bob Violence]

They change the dates often. For example, TMK had been kept pushing back since 2011. December can handle three super tentpoles. Another one around New Year holiday.

Yeah, but two with the same leading man seems like a bad idea, especially since Yen frankly doesn't have a lot of goodwill after his last few films.

30m+ 4-days

That sounds good. So 60M is possible I guess cause legs can't be that bad, right? 2x multiplier

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Yeah, I think 60M+ is more and more likely. SHould easily be #1 OS market, as usually.

Any update on this chart?

Can't count out UK yet though, that one might pull a surprise.

10 Touch of the Light Taiwan $0.67m $0.87m 9

 

 

As expected, Jay Sun's spy thriller Switch breezes to the top of the Chinese box office charts as the opposition waits wisely in the wings.

 

Running pretty much unopposed, Switch and its beloved star Andy Lau had no difficulty in storming its way to a RMB250 million haul over its first 8 days on release. Much of the credit must be given to the film's charismatic leading man, although a 3D release should also be factored in, and bad word is already spreading about the film's quality, which could put a serious dent in the film's performance over the weeks to come. For now, however, it is sitting pretty.

 

Star Trek Into Darkness continues to go great guns, however, netting another RMB86 million last week, taking its total to RMB325 million after 3 weeks. Peter Chan's American Dreams in Chinacontinues to be the only other contender for audience affection, and managed to bring in RMB41 million in the past 7 days, taking its haul for the month comfortably over the impressive RMB500 million mark.

 

Next week should be dominated by Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, which opens in China on 20 June, but don't rule out cop comedy Badges of Fury, starring Jet Li and Wen Zhang, or even youth flickA Style of Men in Beijing, from mounting serious challenges against the son of Krypton. Next week should certainly prove more competitive than this week's one horse race.

MoS will open on 6500 screens Thursday. 32000+ shows will be arranged OD for it, biggest launch of 2013 so far (and ever), bigger than IM3.

[keysersoze123]

double digit OD can happen? IM3 did 20M+ but that was a sequel coming after avengers.

[Sam]

With that many screens and showtimes, and no worthwhile competitions, I wouldn't be surprised if it open high on OD.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

double digit OD can happen? IM3 did 20M+ but that was a sequel coming after avengers.

Hell no ... IM3 opened right on a holiday, thus the insane PTA.

 

$10M OD for MoS would be incredible, for a working day, if it happens. Which would put $100m in play ...

 

less than $7M OD means troublesome. $7~10m the right range.

Edited June 19, 2013 by firedeep

[keysersoze123]

yes IM3 opened on may day. 7M OD is good. I guess its biggest day will be saturday and not its OD. May be it can hit 10M on saturday.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It should hit 10M easily on Sat, its biggest day in run, if nothing goes wrong.

.....Kal-EL is waiting for Supes to destroy IM3 over there and it will be done....

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Pre-sale for MoS runs about 15% of that of IM3.

[fmpro]

only 15%??

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Maybe 10% at the moment ... I think it will go 15% before midnight ...

I don´t quite understand..

Thats totally bad right??

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Average for a blockbuster on this scale ...

 

Cant forget that Hollywood are "dying" here and IM3 was one of the few exceptions. Also opening on a holiday inflated IM3's presale.

 

For example, even MOS just does 15% of what IM3 did on its midnight, that would still be around 2M RMB midnight for MoS, 2nd biggest of year for a Hollywood movie behind IM3 ...

 

Though in 2012, 2M RMB midnight for a Hollywood big movie was very average, less than both TASM/TDKR, which opened the same night against each other after two months delays.
