Wasn't there a movie recently which did 1B+?

LIT 1.264B

Journey to the West 1.246B

The Monkey King 1.042B

 

DOFP should pull ahead tomorrow, right? Since opener normally jump less, even if it's Friday?

Big gap, OH3 should still win Friday. Saturday to be seen.

 

asm2

4/5：61.14

5/5：36.33

6/5：34.32

7/5：28.32

8/5：23.95 (184.06 total) (dofp - 21; day 7; 359 total. lead of 175 over asm2)

9/5：38.90（+62.4%）

10/5：75.02（+92.9%）

11/5: 51.91（-30.4%）

12/5：16.41

13/5：16.66

14/5：14.28

15/5：13.23

16/5：19.30（+45.9%）

17/5：38.85（+101.3%）

18/5：30.97（-20.3%)

 

asm2 was 576m on wed(28th may). so adding thrusday(which i believe is it's last day? not sure) it will be at 578m.

so with a lead of 175 over asm2, 700 still looks likely for dofp. needs 341m more. asm2 added 394m after it's 1st thursday.

 

those who know follow chinas bo and know more about it..thoughts?

Problem is ASM2 has huge weekend.

 

Numbers are hard to compare since Spider-Man opened on Sun so it's 2nd w/e was it's first full w/e.  It also seemed to play more like a family/children's film - smaller weekdays, bigger weekends. 

 

Right now DOFP is tracking about 30m y behind CA2 and with a 21m vs 24m Thur.  CA2 though had the benefit of a Monday holiday and DOFP has a holiday coming up. DOFP though seems to have more competition with Rio 2 and Transcendence under performing against ASM2. 700 is still possible, can't see it doing less than 650.

 

When is DOFP scheduled to leave theaters?

6.23. But it wont do much after 6.13.

So now we're back to DOFP making only 90M - 100M?

100m is locked. But it may not match CA's gross now.

This is what makes this business/game fun, no one could have predicted at the start of the year that Cap in China would be bigger than Spidey and X...the real letdown is Spidey, arguably the most iconic one of the three and coming in 3rd.

Its not the icon its that this isnt the Spiderman of 2002-2004.. Fans are deserting him.. And it seems Captain America is becoming quite the icon himself thanks to incredible directing team behind the magic.. Wow... Captain deserved to beat them all. The best marvel film of them all and now earns its place amongst the elite that is TDK, SM2 and Avengers

Arguably? Spiderman is the most iconic of the 3, but that could change  very fast movie wise.. Thanks to the quality of Captain America.

 

Only heroes bigger than Spidey are Superman, Batman..Captain America is pretty iconic in terms of history, but hasnt maintained his popularity  well during some of the silver  age... Hes made a big come back through 90s and 2000s the Captain is making it happen.

 

Now loved even more than Downey's IM1. Impressive.. Going to be interesting to see how big Captain America 3 becomes

What has the Captn 2 made in China my friends?

[Archerdude]

What is great for the MCU products is that there are new, hence on the increase curve of their popularity and life span.  

 

They are in a position where they didn't reached their maturity point yet, hence why they are likely to increase more than X men or Spidey on the domestic front too with each sequel.

 

Spidey and X Men have a bigger task to increase significantly theirs because they have reached a maturity point and have to retain whatever fanbase they have acquired for years during all those movies.  

 

People who have been deceived over the last 6 movies are more hard to convince to get back on board.  In the same way, new fans after 6 movies are difficult to gain.  So they have to deliver a great flick and introduce a new concept.

 

On the contrary, CA is on his increase curve and has AOU for another huge exposure in between, with a bigger scale, a bigger audience to maximise his increasing popularity to its paroxism.

 

That's why, i beleive granted the competition, CA3 is the most likely to approach or reach $1billion because of its position in its life span and popularity curve which will put him in a better position to increase much more than Xmen or Spidey on the domestic curve while increasing on the foreign front too.

Friday est

[Fake]

Nice recovery for DOFP! Nearly 30m!Now 100m is 100% locked. I was getting a little worried there, to tell you the truth.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

This year's revenue sharing films that you never saw it coming so far include:

 

Justin and the Knights of Valour  ------- 3.28 ------ this one bombed with 12m yuan

The Vocano ------- 5.9 ------  bombed with 4m yuan, probably the lowest revenue sharing release in the past 5 years.

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom -------- 7.18 ------- LOL

 

American Hustle is dated on 7.11 as a buyout film.

Wow she's only doing 1 show in all of China? She should do more in Asia, her tour is actually really successful worldwide.

Friday was a tie: X-DOFP and OH3 both 31m.

 

Apparently OH3 has very meh WOM, only 6.4 rating on Douban, hence the underwhelming performance.

[Fake]

At last some good news!

[Olive]

And should see a good increase today.
