Yes, that means about 7.5m or 10.5m admissions in Opening Week.

You Chinese people rock

[fmpro]

I need something to confirm this. Right now there is no link.

Agree. Lets not get our hopes up

[SentryTrans]

Please don't get our hopes up. I remember you posting some enthusiastic early figures for other films that turned out wrong.

Even Nikki gave some some enthusiastic early figures. :lol:A lot of people overestimated WOTT in China, so did I.

Transformers 4 and Avatar 2, OMG!

They are too remote.Some movies in 2012 or 2013 will get high gross in China.

[CJohn]

I am just shocked. Those numbers are nuts! Nuts, I say! 150M in China is possible!

[Robertron]

Wow China. Russia has the odd over performer but China keeps pulling em off one after the other!

[baumer]

It looks like Russia and China are really the two big new players on the international market.

However, is it just me or does China seem to have a lot more consistency in terms of big hits?

Variety:

As James Cameron's "Titanic" 3D conversion continues to roll out globally, the pic's Imax presentation scored a company best in China Monday at midnight, shoring up approximately $265,000 from just 62 debut Imax runs.

"Titanic" 3D beat Imax's previous midnight record in China set by "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," with $169,000. Locally, the pic screened at 90% capacity, according to Imax.

Chinese biz for the pic in Imax looked solid by mid-afternoon Tuesday.

The film debuted last weekend day-and-date with the U.S. in 84 overseas countries; in 14 the pic screened in Imax. The 3D edition (the conversion cost $18 million, at the high end for 3D redos) has cumed more than $60 million worldwide as of April 15.

Paramount released "Titanic" 3D domestically, while Fox Intl. is handling overseas distribution duties.

Hmm, very close to the estimated 1.53M yuan.

According to Mtime, Titanic 3D debuted at 1547 theatres yesterday, accounting for 40% of the estimated 10,000 national wide screens numbers, with 66 IMAX screens. It had 15721 screenings on Tuesday alone.

Someone who can get access to the national ticket sale system says Titanic did about 70M yuan OD, or 11.4M $. That is all time second biggest, right behind the OD of TF3.

$11m OD means at least $50-60m opening week. And that's already over half of $100m. It probably needs repeating business like Avatar to make it to $150m, which is hard to ask for for a re-release. But $100m looks pretty solid ATM.

Mtime has some data on the number of screens Titanic re-release is on: 1,547 theaters (66 IMAX), and they gave it 15,721 showings on Tuesday. The article also mentioned from early calculation, it made 50m+ yuan on OD, so hold onto that $10m OD thought yet; I have a feeling the $11.4m number is a little too optimistic, and the actual will fall somewhere in between.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

150M is reachable if it does 60~70M in 6 days. Anyway, 100M is well locked at this point.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Early official estimated OD:

67.5M yuan (10.5M $), including 9.1M yuan (1.4M $) midnight.

It is performing very close to my projection:

Mid 1M, second biggest midnight, biggest non-summer midnight

Tue. 9M, second biggest opening day, second biggest Tuesday, biggest non-summer Tuesday

Wed. 7M, second biggest Wednesday, biggest non-summer Wednesday

Thu. 7M, second biggest Thursday, biggest non-summer Thursday

Fri. 10M, second biggest Friday, biggest non-summer Friday

Sat. 12M, second biggest Saturday, biggest non-summer Saturday

Sun. 10M, second biggest Sunday, biggest non-summer Sunday

3 days opening weekend. 32M, second biggest OW, biggest non-summer OW

6 days opening week. 56M, second biggest opening week, biggest non-summer opening week

'Titanic 3D' Has Huge Opening Day in China

20th Century Fox International is reporting that Titanic 3D opened to an estimated $11.6 million from 2,400 3D screens and 66 IMAX 3D screens in China on Tuesday. That's Fox's best opening day ever in China, and it's more than double Titanic 3D's weekend debut in any of its other markets.

In 1998, Titanic earned around $44 million in China. Since then, the Chinese market has expanded significantly, and Titanic 3D should easily outgross the original release within the week.

Since opening on Wednesday, Titanic 3D has already made at least $53 million overseas, and that doesn't even count any of its other markets on Tuesday. That brings the re-release's worldwide gross to over $80 million, and it brings Titanic's total gross across all releases to $1.924 billion.
