So why/how did Frozen get a 2 week extension in theaters in China? The movie wasn't THAT popular there. :blink:

Disney tried to push it over 300M yuan, but failed and it finished with 299M :P

It seems that Audi has bought all midnights IMAX tickets of Wanda Cinemas and sells for 1 cent per ticket for some self-promotion.

So how many tickets is that aprox?

Nah, I say SARFT figured it all right ...

 

Here is the math.

 

YTD box office of all foreign films through May 3 is about 6B.

 

Assuming:

 

F7 rest run ----- 120m

Home rest run ----- 80m

 

Chappie ----- 120m

AOU ----- 2000m

Tomorrowland + San Andreas ----- 700m
Insurgent ----- 100m
Jurassic World ----- 2000m
MI5 ------- 1500m
 
Terminator: Genisys ----- 1000m
The Fantastic Four ----- 500m
Inside Out ----- 300m
Minions ----- 600m
 
Ant-Man ------ 700m
Autobahn ----- 300m
Pixels ------ 150m
Maze Runner: TST --- 250m
Hitman: Agent 47 -----  250m
Spectre ----- 700m
The Walk ----- 300m
 
So that's 6B + 11.7B + 1B other smaller titles = less than 19B box office of all imported films in 2015, meaning 42~45% (less than 50%) foreign market share.
 
19B/45B=42.2%.
19B/42B=45.2%
 
Just a guess.

 

 

I guess then the early decisions to import Annie and Unbroken are paying off based on this calculation.  That's a good guess of the movies being imported I should say...one of them might drop out in favor of "Pan," china film just signed to handle merchandising rights of that...which means, well, they have an incentive to import that movie now wouldn't they?

So how many tickets is that aprox?

 Wanda has maybe 100-120 IMAX screens, let's say an average of 300 seats per theater, so about 3,000+ tickets?  According to Weibo posts, some of the IMAX screens have started selling 2:30 or 2:40am shows, Tuesday early morning.

Thanks. So they bought for 1 screening only?

Hold on a sec, firedeep.  One thing of note: you're assuming the Chinese films hold up the end of their bargain.  I don't know enough of what's coming but seems the big guns are now trained mostly towards Chinese New Year 2016 and not December, right?  Outside of Lost in Hongkong, what else is expected to break the bank there?

Thanks. So they bought for 1 screening only?

T minus 7 days to launch, what was FF7 presales in Gewara 7 days before it started?  Does anyone know?

OK, like 6 times in front?  Must be crazy Marvel fans front loading this.  But AAoU needs a strong dominant showing more than FF7 did on day 1 as it starts on a Tuesday.  Will be interesting next few days!

So.... it will finish with 2.4B+ (around 390M)..... an awesome result.

Wonder what would be the first movie to hit 400m? or 500m?

Unless another local or foreign movie breaks out before it, the first to 400m should be Kungfu Panda 3 in early 2016. If it gets released on Chinese new year, then even 500m is highly possible for it.

2015, Two local titles expect to break 2B yuan

Lost in Hong Kong & The Ghouls, Xu Zheng & Huang Bo always top local box office.

 

LiHK not yet release date, Maybe Oct golden week or Dec. The film is tentatively scheduled for an August release but duo to competition with HW blockbuster it was canceled. it's no way to avoid the competition. 3 or 4 local blockbuster will release on Oct golden week : 

Saving Mr. Wu (Andy Law)

Lu Chuan version of Ghost Blows Out the Light

The Wasted Times (Ge You) etc...

 

Nov will see animated film Da Hai (11.11). Dec will see Wuershan version of Ghost Blows Out the Light-The Ghouls  (12.18), Feng Xiaogang's Fading Wave (12.24). Not sure : Turn Out So You're Still Here (So Young 2), The Assassin,etc... 

Just remember The Crossing & Gone With the Bullet underperformed last Dec.

Yes so a few of these will underwhelm.  I have my bets on Lost in Hong Kong...that said everyone thought Jiang Wen was a sure bet too this time last year!

 

Not familiar with some of the other titles here.  Speaking of The Crossing...where's the sequel???
