China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26

I believe in $500 as well. It already pre-sold that many tickets.

Then I must say you are quite pessimistic. For though I know its not gonna be easy, I think it can reach to a Thousand dollars too.

So what was T4 pre-sales again just before hitting cinemas?  

 

I don't know if AAoU will beat FF7 in presales and much less certain on the actual grosses, but if it takes down T4 as well then the China Market has absolutely proven its muscles.  Movies will get greenlit and scheduled now based on tendencies for China from here on!

Who said I didn't like anything about china? Im rooting for FF7 to get to 400m and thought a holiday boost could get it there. FD said it was going to 360, my argument was closer to right than his, so whats your point there. Not argue with someone that initiated the debate and was wrong?

 

Im just going by the numbers regarding growth and too many things are obvious to me that it wont blow through 10b. Forums are for different view points on a topic, not patting each other on the back about one outcome. Mine are by the numbers, not conjecture.

 

BTW. the stalking bit is creepy, getting old and has nothing to do with Chinese BO.  Go to a gay singles sex chat room please.

Presales sometimes can be misleading, GWTB2 presales beat TF4 too but it only made 25% of TF4.

 

Currently only midnight IMAX shows are close to soldout.

True, I thought that anomaly though was driven by its 1-3 buck pre-sales tickets from 11/11, which was ill-conceivably driven by its distributor to drum up buzz.  I would think pre-sales for these Studio films are more or less similar or closer to reality, China Film isn't like a LeVision or Huayi Bros when it comes to playing tricks like these, they could not care less about foreign films doing overly well and cannot afford to be seen by the Film Bureau as too eagerly promoting foreign content.

Slowing down a bit

Slowing down a bit

 

You are over analyzing this. In China the gewara numbers are small part of overall ticket sales. Furious 7 sold just 2,831,263 in gewara but overall sold over 60m tickets. So that is < 5%. So we need actual OD numbers before we know where AOU is heading. Gewara is just an indicator. Its doing great there.

Remains a constant 25-30k ahead of FF7 the last handful of updates

 Yes but FF7 really went nuts the last 48 hours, a Friday and a Saturday.  It could be a function of discounts suddenly getting more aggressive or more shows getting opened up for sales.  We also have to bear in mind one thing -- AAoU opens on a Tuesday, not a non-working Sunday...this is where it will get shafted versus a film opening on a Friday or Saturday.

FF7 increases so fast in its last 48 hours because of way too many sellouts and showtimes were added rapidly, haven't seen many for AOU because its OD is Tuesday.

Quite likely FF7 will retain this, AAoU will probably top 300,000 that's it.  Still a good outcome for a Tuesday opener of course.  What's the all time record for Tuesday openings or just in general highest weekday grosses (holiday or non holiday)?

I think AOU GEWARA will reach 300k by the end of Sunday and another 100K will be added on Monday.
