Not worth it at all, seriously. For 32m yuan... I believed the negative image caused at least actual box office of 200m yuan, it could have been easily a billion yuan Box Office film but people were upset and stop supporting it after the first saturday when the reports surfaced. Coupled with the Bluray release, bad coordination by Raymond Wong... The whole movie is on every chinese movie streaming site, and burnt to Bluray DVDs and sold in every DVD shop in China, and many of these are located in shopping malls with cinemas... 
A 1.1 billion yuan movie reduced to barely 700m Yuan(after adjusting for Fudging), very sad for Donnie Yen, Max Zhang who literally ran everywhere.. almost every city in China to promote the movie... Gosh.

Ouch. Maybe its a late sleeper like FF7 was. Or maybe it is what it is..

A typical 800-1000 mill yuan movie of the blockbuster~ish kind which hype is nowhere near DOM

 

I think doing those numbers is perfectly normal for a CBM that is relatively new in the market, unless it has like Zootopia kinda universal overwhelming critical rate and behave totally  crazilly.

 

China and other markets didn't have the same multigenerational experience in terms of massive exposure with Batman and/or Superman than in the US.  China basicly exploded with CBMs craze at the same time as the MCU took over.

 

MARVEL basicly did the heavyweight job for years and occupied a relatively virgin market every single year since 2008, delivering two products per year that were consistently at least well received in line with the growing market level of reception.

 

IM didn't make $120m from the get go, it had two previous movies that did decent to good , in line with the numbers that were considred good at the time, while popularizing his character in China.

 

The mcu brand grew there in line with the market's own growth and Marvel took massive available market shares.  

 

You have basicly only Marvel CBM (be it from Marvel, Sony or FOX) occupaying the top ten highest CBM gross and when you look at the merchandising overseas, Marvel, starting with Spiderman began to explode  around 2009 seating literally unchallenged  on its hegemony overseas.  There is no coincidence.

 

So with that, to expect DC two biggest characters to behave like Marvel biggest performers from the get go ,especially after MOS so so reception isn't really something likely to happen.

 

It will need, two or three DC movies in row, consistently well received to start building its brand and start adding incrementally those additional grosses that make any big blockbuster into a potential guargantuesque massive one.

Yeah and that is on the China distributor for changing the release date. If they had let it run on December 31, Ip Man 3 wouldn't have been overshadowed by Zootopia and it would have enjoyed a nice run ending by Chinese New Year.

 

It's really stupid that they created false box office receipts for Ip Man 3 too. It was always going to make money. They should have quietly inflated it if they wanted to money launder. Maybe do it at more popular times like at 9 pm not 3 am lol.

Presale boomed to 31k+ for BvS

 

Thats a pretty huge number. Sounds like a 180-200 mill OD is in play

 

good/bad?

[Olive]

We don't track Gewara nowadays, since its market share has dropped a lot and many discount tickets there make tracking not so accurate like before.

Maoyan is a better barometer.

That positive WOM won't be strong at all so I hope for a big OW.

[Quigley]

Ouch, that Monday-to-Monday drop for Zootopia is harsh (-58%).

Zootopia didn't pick up in smaller cities, and it got Revenant to compete in big cities.

Plus it had a white day boost last Monday.

Fair enough. So could you give us something to compare with on Maoyan numbers?

[Ash Skywalker]

Why don't we start a Pre-sales Thread to keep tracking data for MIDNIGHTS/OD/OW

I didn't jot down the Sw7 numbers. But as I recall it's tracking close SW7. PS went up 50% yesterday and tracking that today. If it's the same tomorrow, it will need to more than double on thursday like SW7 did and it will keep pace. Rev did not pop on thursday. If it follows that pattern the it will come in at 50m PS for a 140m OD.
