The majority of Chinese moviegoers don't know the difference between Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan, but perhaps with this film's success that will begin to change. Any movie with this kind of incredible run -- low first weekend, solid weekday holds, and a bigger second weekend -- achieves that feat because of its content/story first and foremost and its ability to 'speak' to the audience. The credit should go to the film itself, not solely Aamir Khan. Very few foreign stars, arguably NONE, have achieved box office success in China on star power alone.

So sub 40% drop is possible. I think all the openers are bombing again though Life looks like doing better than PR and Arthur. All new releases will total less than 40m OD like last week. Listed at 14% for friday now. Should climb to 17%, last Friday was 14%, but the % drop of theaters from Thursday will be a little larger this week with thursday flat WoW. The bump may be a little smaller but I think the hold could -20% WoW or better. 180m+ WE. 700m total by sunday. 775m when P5 opens. If it could -50% against P5 on FSS it will get deep into the 900s, maybe 1b with holiday help Edited May 17, 2017 by POTUS 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marveldcfox Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 GOTG2 is such a giant flop in China. Dangal has completely overshadowed it. Speaking of gotg2, i have yet to watch it, which speaks volumes because and I haven't missed a single marvel movie yet barring IM2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it shocking That GOTG 2 flopped by decreasing from the first or barely getting past it in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Guardians will finish around 650m. Previous week it did not do bad. But being number 2 does not help and so it is losing tons of screens this weekend. Post Pirates release it wont do anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is Guardians not doing as well compared to Avengers, IM, CA, DS, and AM in China? It is like decreasing from it original one and even the service fee are not helping it.
