Aka, You was right.In China people only see one movie.Maleficent was doing great numbers and was killed.They took almost all the screens from a successfull movie.This would never happen in other countries.

My projections

Monday should go up a bit with actuals  110M  726m

Tue 104M  830M

Wed 95M  925M

Thur 90M  1015M

Fri 115M  1130m

Sat  160M  1270M

Sun  140M  1410M/$225M

Seems quite optimistic, but can't see it below 1.3B by Sunday.

Bear in mind that this is July now. So that Friday and Saturday increases both seem too high.

 

If it follows that, then it will finish with 2B!

I am, however, a bit conservative in my expectations. I think Friday gross would be around 100m.

 

I am with Fake. I think Thursday could drop to 85m with Friday backing to around 100m.

 

So: 106/100/90/85/100/120/100 about 700m week.  1.317B after 10 days.

What is the competition in following weeks like?Also, could someone provide the dailes for TF3 till its 2nd weekend?

No real competition until July 17.

 

TF3 daily changes are pointless to look at. At least 200m yuan gross was stolen from TF3 during its first three weeks.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

TBG is heading to 500m+. Cant believe it did 30m+ on Monday ....   (as far as I can remember, no comedy has missed 500m with workday above 30m). 

 

Millions people had to see TGB instead when they found TF4 was sold out. Well done (again), Enlight.

[alee7915]

Yes, so the updated studio number is just $92M!

 

 

Why Paramount will Want a smaller number?

 

According to THR's article,  What 'Transformers 4's Huge China Opening Means for Hollywood,  "The stunning performance of Transformers: Age of Extinction could potentially have implications for the import of Hollywood movies, as the government is keen to foster local talent, and there could be tougher controls on foreign movies coming into the Chinese market"

Then we should all stop buying "MADE IN CHINA" products 

 

Does anyone think Transformers 4 will make more than $244 million. This is the highest boxoffice record for any movie outside USA which is currently held by Japan's box office of Spirited Away (Frozen will beat the record in 3 weeks)

I think the question now should be whether TF4 will break 300m in China.

I think the question now should be whether TF4 will break 300m in China.

Let's see. From your point of view its guaranteed that TF4 will hold the record of best box office performance ever of any movie outside USA. The current record looks as shown in the table below.

While I think TF4 can reach $250 million, the Chinese government might stop it or there may be competition in the coming weeks from other movies. I don't keep track of the movie releases in China so I can't say if there's any popular movies releasing soon that will affect TF4 significantly.

That would be hilarious if the Chinese government stops this from doing ludicrous numbers there(300mish) in order to "preserve/protect" their local talent or whatever. Admit it you quasi commies... when it comes to entertainment, our movies are better than your homemade stuff, even our crappy Michael Bay movies.

A relatively low averate ticket price does not matter at this point.

Wow! I thought it would be frontloaded, but it seems backloaded! Every daily number has been significantly better than what I would have guessed with the previous day number.$300m doesn't seems very difficult at this point.

"The fourth film in the Transformers franchise,Transformers: Age of Extinction, was a massive hit at the box-office today, earning more than $300M in worldwide box office. But for a film which seemed to earn the most money in China this weekend, the film is facing controversy regarding how much it actually earned in the United States. After it was reported that the domestic grosses (US and Canada) brought in $100.038M, individuals began to make claims that Paramount had falsified the 3 day earnings in order to claim they had the first $100M movie of the year. If the claim by the Paramount insider is true that “everyone in town and I mean everyone has it much less than $100M” the film’s domestic grosses could actually be close to the $97-98M earned in China."
