Nah, 150M is the minimum for me. It has a good release date and with SH popularity in China and destruction porn, it better make more than 100M.

150m from China means it's easily gonna cross 500m in US+China (would need "just" 350m in US)...550-600m US+China seems likely.

Are 100M admissions for Mermaid possible? It has 85,5M admissions now (if I'm right informed) after a 11M week. Or will it collapse? I saw it has only 5% showtimes on friday.

Agree. Under 1B would be disapointing.. 

 

But we have seen this so many times over the last year.. 150-200 mill ain't easy...

So 850-1000 mill yuan would be close to a safe bet

I would say SW7 numbers for BvS.

Any predictions for Ip Man 3 and Zootopia Opening day and weekend?

[sgchn40]

Seems like the censorship in China for tv and web productions have become really strict. I wonder if some of the regulations will also apply to movies soon.

 

 

[Olive]

Early Friday showtimes:
Ip Man 3 - 46.6%
Zootopia - 16.5%
Mermaid - 11.7%

The 33 - 7.9%

KFP3 - less than 1%

Regulations on movies are always stricter than on TV shows.

 

Censorship is the biggest reason why local creative contents in China suck and are improving so slow in terms of both quality and diversity.

Censorship has existed for films far longer than TV and online content. In fact, online content was one of the few places you could push boundaries. Not so anymore. 可惜

Yes, look like everything was banned. I don't know what's not?

Spoiler

Homosexual plot (or any references or suggestions to homosexuality), teenage romance, extramarital affairs, promotion of spirit possession / souls, reincarnation, witchcraft, the exposure of real-life investigation techniques, bizarre and grotesque criminal cases, time-travel and so on. 

Maybe it's only historical/period drama is left. Oh! Wuxia... 

Spoiler

Feel so sad for Addicted Web Series

Indeed... I feel sad too... There is a joke that with this ruling, they cannot film any of the 4 classic novels and half of Chinese history now. I just hope that this will not be the case for movies!!!

[Olive]

Ip Man 3 presales picked up, 100M yuan OD looks likely. I think $50M OW is on the way.

Zootopia still disappoints, 50-60M yuan OW at best, the best case is 250M(half of BH6) ,with no holiday ahead, 200M is not certain.

Mermaid will have another 3-month extended run...

China wanna be new hollywood, but look at what they're doing? They're digging their own grave. Even a normal thing was banned. It's so fucking ridiculous. No wonder why there are so many historical/period & wuxia dramas were produced every year. Nothing else productions can do. 

Spoiler

Ice Fantasy has reincarnation. Would it be banned? Damn!!! it's my most waiting drama 2016. I gonna die. Don't know how can I live without those banning dramas?

Agree! The funny thing is that they wanted soft power. Well the banned shows ironically was chased after by many people outside of China. They just killed one of their sources of soft power

Mermaid run extended to June 8th.

 

IPM3 100m OD in play.
