China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

Thanks, firedeep. You really think 300M+ is possible for TA2? Potential for TA3,4 or FF8 or TF5 is staggering to say the least. 

[POTUS 2020]

USA+Canada larger in area but less than 1/4 the inhabitants of China

a little more than a quarter, 27%, live in Dom vs China 355m vs 1.3b

Not many people live in 90% of Canada and Alaska. very cold.

short growing season in most of Dom. historically speaking; less food, less people

Dom only 400 years old, china 5000 years old

People living in Dom for 10000 years, china 30,000 years

Chinese don't handle achohol very well and forget about birth control

Buzz / awareness for TA2 online at the same point before release is stronger than that of F7 so who knows what will happen

Actually since a few thousand years ago, China has always had one of largest population in the world. The main reason is that like India, historically China is probably the largest continous piece of agriculture real estate in the world. Because Yellow River and the Yangtze River plains have created a lot of large pieces of plains that are very suitable for agricultural planting, to the extend that, It is believed that, the first dynasty in China, Xia (夏), was initially builded for the needs of taming the Yellow River more than 4000 years ago.

China's population through history (per wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China):

2100 BC: 4,000,000

700 BC: 12,000,000

210 BC: 22,000,000

2 AD: 58,000,000

57: 38,000,000

290: 24,000,000

630: 49,000,000

800: 70,000,000[3]

1000: 87,000,000

1100: 102,000,000

1200: 105,000,000[3]

1290: 77,000,000

1400: 89,000,000

1500: 110,000,000

1650: 123,000,000

1800: 260,000,000

1900: 400,000,000

1910: 439,214,000

In modern days, a couple of tens of thousands of square kilometers rich land can feed millions of people. The nomads, like the Xiongnu (Huns), had to rove around as a nomad nomadic because their land is infertile.

But even ancient China had limited lands (read the Idea of Multhus), hence there were so many internal wars for farmlands and risidents. Thankfully Science and Technology have greatly advanced so today Earth can support 7B people.

For FF7, I am not convinced that it can reach $400m. The huge Monday and Tuesday in part could be accounted for by spillovers, as there is bound to be some due to just one day in the OW. We could very well see larger than expected Wednesday/Thursday drops and/or smaller than expected Friday/Saturday jumps. For now, I think TF4's total is a good target.

[Olive]

Well Wednesday should hold quite Well too.

like I said. more food more people. I agree w u.  many parts of china and india have multiple growing seasons that help too and are the oldest civilizations

But with unreplenishable aquifers being drained, rivers drying up, oil peaking (needed for tractors, herbacides. pesticides, fertalizers, processing and transport to the cities), the worlds fish stock dwindling and many other factors, feeding 8b people in the not too distant future could be a problem. I live in india, trust me, not all 7b people are being fed now due to some negative impacts of globalization.

Lets enjoy the movies while it lasts!!

Looking forward to the wed number...
