Combined with the original take, Titanic will sail pass TF3 this week, and the chance of taking the crown back from Avatar looks solid.

James Cameron's Titanic 3D scored 270M yuan ($ 42M) during its second week, with a healthy 43% drop. It is the 2nd biggest second week, right after TF3's 363M yuan set in last July. After only 2 weeks, the blockbuster's re-release stands at 738M yuan ($ 117M), claiming the highest gross of this year so far, replacing MI4's $ 107M. Now the question is, can it win the year 2012 ?Combined with its original release, the James Cameron film has grossed 1098M yuan in China through last Sunday, becoming the third movie in history to cross the impressive 1B yuan mark.

Universal's Battleship debuted 122m yuan (19.3M $) in its 5-days first week run, setting a new studio opening record for them in China. Though fell short of many box office observers' $ 30M expectation, that number is overall decent considering how strong Titanic still is in the market.

Nicolas Cage's Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance 3D opened to 24.4M yuan through its 3 days weekend, a standard Cage opening in China. Cage's Drive Angry 3D opened to about 25M yuan in last September and finished with 68M yuan. Now the Nicolas Cage second 3D release should target to $ 10M.

Once again down hefty 88% , Wrath of the Titans took the place of NO. 10 on the box office chart with a cume of 26.2M $ after 4 weekends in theatres. It will competely drop out of the top 10 this week. One thing to note, WOTT now officially become the first sequel that not outgrossing its previous in China, which is unbelievably rare to see in a quickly expanding market.

Thanks to the strong hold of Titanic 3D and decent opening of Battleship, the Top 10's combined 440M yuan gross was upnearly 200% from the same week last year, though down 17% from last week this year. The total revenue of April now stands at 1.25B, already up 87% from last April.

Nope, those numbers include the weekend.

I just noticed that some of the foreign markets (including China) says as of 04/22...But China's number is going to go up and there are still a lot of markets on the list that haven't been updated since 04/15.I think $350 million is still possible!

[Elessar]

Even though not all individual markets are always updated, the foreign total includes all markets. $350m OS is too much, i believe.Sheesh, TF3's 2nd week was huge! Probably summer helps...

[baumer]

I don't 350 overseas is doable either, but it will come close to 300...

No, no release chart.Not sure if SWTH can get released here.

[Cedarpoint1111]

Aww that sucks...

[Alex Bennett]

I've seen battleship yesterday and kinda disappointed at the awful story. This week titanic will undoubtedly remain on top until May5th.. btw its ticket price is insane--almost 30 dollars.

[Fullbuster]

almost 30 dollars.

WHAT??

[Alex Bennett]

WHAT??

here in the biggest city shanghai the average ticket price for titanic 3D is 20 dollars. The highest is 28

[Cedarpoint1111]

Wow... And I thought paying $11.50 for a regular 2D ticket was crazy. Of course, 3D Imax goes up to 18 dollars, but that's still tiny compared to 28!

[Rudolf]

I have seen admission numbers for China that are really astonishing: From 1998: 121m increasing to 2010: 377mNow it gets interesting: 1992: 10,000m and 1979: 29,300m. Can anyone confirm these numbers? Surely tickets then were not 30$ but a few Chiaos.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Can anyone confirm these numbers?

[pinocchio]

The 2.25 billion admissions for 2010 is cleary wrong. It was just 225 million or so.
