China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

[iceroll]

Some statistics from Entgroup's Q2 market report:

 

Total films released within Q2 2013: 63 (Chinese 47, foreign 16), basically flat from 2012 Q2

Total gross generated within Q2 2013: RMB 5.7B (Chinese RMB 3.1B with 53% market share, foreign RMB 2.6B with 47% market share), increasing 39% from 2012 Q2

 

2013 Q2 is the first Q2 in history that Chinese films grossed more than foreign films, which is another of the countless proofs that local Chinese films are ever strong in the market. For comparisons, Q2 Chinese/foreign releases share in the past 5 years:

 

2009 (Q2) 1.19B Chinese 26% Foreign 74%

2010 (Q2) 15.9B Chinese 45% Foreign 55%

2011 (Q2) 3.0B Chinese 39% Foreign 61%

2012 (Q2) 4.54B Chinese 29% Foreign 71%

2013 (Q2) 1.19B Chinese 53% Foreign 47%

 

Usually Q2 (or Q3) is the strongest quarter of the year in terms of dominating market share for Hollywood releases. But even so, local films still managed to make more than foreign ones. This is the first time such things happen since 1994. Through end of June 2013, local films still keep a year-to-date makret share of around 61%.  I think the number should remain a similar range by end of the year.

Yea the government deciding to shit on Hollywood movies this year probably had a lot to do with that.

AE made $30m in 10 days ... 

 

this week here: WHD 7 days VS FF6 3 days, to see which wins

next week here: FF6 7 days VS PR 5 days, to see which wins

FF6 is going to murder WHD

[A Marvel Fanboy]

If WHD does well, it will be tough for FF6 3-days to surpass WHD 7-days.

 

Pirated copies for FF6 are everywhere which will be only reason if above happens.

[POLYLOVE]

The pre-sales for FF6 look very very good, on par with IM3.

 

If there's no piracy, I just can't imagine how big it will breakout on the opening day!

Early:

 

WHD opening Monday strong 23M $3.7m 

Which means 7 days looking to be $25M+. 

 

FF6 has no chance to win this week at this point. If next week PR does well, PR will win, that means FF6 is not winning any week.
