According to the first page, the original Titanic release sold 18m tickets. Add in the 10m from rerelease so far and it's now the biggest foreign movie of all time in ticket sales.

Most attendance film in theatres since 1993 or later 1980s, yes. Data before that is unavailable.

Do you guys know if Snow White and the Huntsman or MIB3 will be released in China? And if so, what date?

Ok, so another mate from China ...

no, i am not from china and i cant read a single chinesse character.

i must admit i forgot about BS. on the other hand, if titanic holds well i would say BS will have problems to find enough screens.

"Alien invasion film Battleship opened at midnight today in China, 18 Apr, two days before originally scheduled. It is itself struggling to secure screening slots from Titanic (1997), which had taken RMB467 million ($74.2 million) by Sunday night after just six days on release ."

Well, today it looks like 3-3,5 mil for Titanic and 1,5 mil for BS. (estimates acording to wanda tracking) . If i am correct then BS looks to collect 10-15 mil. for its first weekend and titanic will be 50 percent down (it will still cross 40 mil. for a 2nd week) in part because of less screencount?

It is shame that there is so little information about number of screens/copies. filmbiz.asia said:

"Including standard 2-D outings, and 2,400 3-D digital prints, Titanic was released on 3,500 theatres in China, giving a per screen average of $16,600." - Does it mean HR was right about the 2400 copies after all? 2400 3D copies and the rest to 4500 was 2D?

BITTLESHIP should gross around $20M in its opening week

[cgold]

oh no.http://www.filmbiz.a...ms-china-recordhttp://www.filmbiz.a...ock-china-dates

Titanic is such a monster. I can't believe it's pulling these types of figures on re-release. I haven't read the whole thread but is this the first time Titanic is being released in China?

This is very good, right?

[Alex Bennett]

Man!... I've been told by the cinema that Battleship imax version won't be available this weekend because imax for Titanic still sells like hotcakes Really wanna see it in imax.

No. TItanic was released in China in1998 and it remained the highest grossed film for 11 years until TF2 came in 2009.

This is very good, right?

Not really. 20M for 5 days is considered disappointed.

You can go for 2D. its ok.

this is exactly what i tought might happen. if titanic is permorming better then BS it would be logical for chinese distributor not to reduce titanic screens. i was curious if it would happen this way, and here we are. anyway, titanic earned 7 mil. in chinese imaxes during the week, half of the whole imax titanic tictet revenues. (60s chinese imax theaters out of 400+ all imaxes and 50 percent revenue?great, isnt it) Edited April 18, 2012 by dezorz

BS is 2D, isnt it? No 3D version.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

True. Saying 2D just to sound different from IMAX.

[Neo]

7M on IMAX on average of $109,375http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/titanic-3d-steams-7m-chinas-imax-screens-37102
