China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

[keysersoze123]

Angry birds looks like having a good saturday. its already over 48m. Can it do something like 70m. CW wont even crack 30m. Might stall around 25-27m depending on how the evening is. So looking at dropping around 2/3 of last weekend. Will struggle to 1200m at this rate.

Can someone explain why Avengers does so much better than X-men in China?

I guess they like the comedy filled action extravaganza the best. Plus though X-Men has always been kind of team up and even with DOFP was barely higher than CA2. SO its hard for it to come close to Avengers movies.

DoFP is much better than CA2.best film of 2014.Before DoFP,Chinese barely know X-men.X3 didn't surpassed 100M before.People already knew Captain American after the Averagers（2012）.It is a little surprise that DoFP is higher than CA2.The 2nd highest X-men film in China is only 200M .CA3 is not a solo film,it's Averagers 2.0

XFA will be around 850M~900M.It's okay number imo.

Lol, yeah right. X Men Apocalypse won't even come near that, and DOFP is no where NEAR as good as WS. DOFP was good on it's first watch, but it doesn't really hold up on repeat viewings. WS is WAY better.

What's the most Angry Birds can make in China?

$60m?

Can it still break out with the public?

1.2B is in the bag even with an 80% drop next weekend. That shouldn't happen though because Alice PS not looking great,  less than AB was today.

AB showing some strength with sub -20% hold today

CA3 isn't an Avengers movie, it's a cap movie featuring IM as an antagonist and many other characetrs, some avengers too in a secondary much containted role.

 

And none of the Xmen movies, DOFP included, are solo movies, they are all the original team CBM and the one that was the most popuarized in Marvel books.  

 

They should have made way over Avengers movies so should the JL because both of those teams were much more popuplar than the Avengers to start with.

 

Avengers was always the second rated team compared to those two.  They featured the B/C characters before Marvel Studio took them and popularized them in a way that the Xmen never succeeded in.

 

That's FOX's fault if it couldn't translate the mega popularity of the Xmen compared to the one of the Avengers, in the big screen.

 

Hell the fact that an icon like Wolverine who should have been up there with Spiderman can't outgross a new comer like Antman who never got great CB sales like Wolverine did, is also a testament of FOX inhability to translate and increase the popuparity of all the main iconic Marvel characters (bar Spiderman) it has under its roof.

Hopefully Deadpool will open a new wave of new characters being popularized within FOX and doing business on par with their iconic status.  

 

But i won't hold my breath considering that Deadpool was released and a success despite FOX putting much hurdles for it to be made and release.

[bangbingchan]

X-men is always team film.But DoFP still did great in China,even higher than one of MCU best films,CA2.X-men is not popular in China before DoFP.XFC even didn't get released in China.Chinese barely know X-men in 2014.it's nothing to do with how popular characters in comics.It's unknown to Chinese before.DoFP was a surprise. 

 And CA3？with Antman（670M）Ironman（740M）Spiderman（580M）it's only a solo film？I don't agree with you.

XFA cant get close to CA3.It's very crowded for foriegn films in June.CA3 has 3 week empty room in May.XFA is too close  to Warcraft.If XFA released this week,X-men may still get close to CA3.So pity XFA didn't release in May.

X-Men had a pretty big lull around the time when superhero films were really kicking into high gear. They pretty much had X3 and then Wolverine Origins (two of their biggest turds) around the same time as Nolan's trilogy was coming out and the beginning of the MCU. First Class really suffered as a result.

 I do agree with that.

 

That said the MCU had to face the same difficult circumstances being constantly compared negatively to the Nolan trilogies and did it with B, C characters at that.

 

At least the Xmen could rely on a high popularity that was already established in books and tested in a previous franchise that always was the second most profitable after Raimi's Spiderman before TDK exploded.

 

Whereas Marvel, not only had to restore the damages done on Thor and CA first and only released movies in the 90's while launching a first time character like IM.

 

The fact that IM under Nolan's TDK trilogy already did better than Wolverine and all the other Xmen movies released at that time was telling.  

 

The fact that First Class despite those assets was outgrossed by both Thor and CA First Avenger during the same year is also compelling to me.

 

Again, nothing against the Xmen, but it's clear to me that they have underperformed under the same circumstances than the MCU had to face too with the Nolan trilogy and this, despite them having A list notorious characters vs second rated ones for the MCU.

 

The only difference is that the MCU increased incrementaly through each release, building solidly its franchise under the same circumstances and basicly exploded.  

 

The Xmen franchise did not succeeded in doing so neither during the Raimi era where it had only Raimi to face and couldn't do that type of BO, neither during the Nolan era where both it and the MCU put their works against TDK trilogy which was the main driving force in the CBM genre and certainly not now where the MCU is at the driving wheel and made it so by beating each and every one of its competitors...much more than any of them had to face when they first entered the market..
