Interstellar and HP1 are the recent major re-release Interstellar Saturday's midnight show: rmb 130k Harry potter 1 Thursday's midnight show; rmb 260k Avatar's midnight: ~200-250k So I am expecting a weekend number similar to HP1 re-release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall: ¥12.1m ($1.87m) Friday: ¥5.6m ($860k) Saturday and Sunday are at ¥4.4m ($680k) and ¥1.9m ($290k) respectively, so this seems to be far more backloaded than most releases in China in terms of presales. Presumably a result of the extremely short release notice. Edited March 11, 2021 by hw64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) 13 hours ago, charlie Jatinder said: I am thinking final pre-sales around 7.5M and OD of 16-18M probably and weekend of 49-55M. So record will be done by Sunday. Seems like 6.5M final pre-sales. Interstellar had a 2.5x PSm while HP had 2.11x. That gives a range of 14-16.5M ($2.15-2.5M) OD. Saturday pre-sales are higher than what usually films have, but looking city wise data, Shanghai, Beijing, etc have higher pre-sales on Sat than Sun. Now that could be people basically booking IMAX shows in Tier 1 cities. That would explain the low PSm than usual for re-releases. Ideally those Sat PS would mean a much bigger Saturday than Friday, but let's see. Going with ¥44-54M ($6.8-8.5M) weekend prediction.

Borobudur Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 looking back Titanic re-release $150m re-release total have become so monstrous now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLC Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 @Franspeech on Twitter expect a OW between $22M and $26M. And you Charlie Jat, you expect something between $6,8M and $8,5M. Why a huge gap like that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Just to add to the pile, Maoyan expect around $17 and I expect around $11. Edited March 11, 2021 by WandaLegion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually in normal scenario I will also expect $11M+ i.e. ¥71M+. (20 32 24 may be) but PSm for re-releases has been lower. Potter we were expecting ¥40M plus OD from ¥15.15M pre-sales, end up being only ¥32M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Feng Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 There is no comparability between the re-releases of Titanic & Avatar. Audience did have few movies and approaches to enjoy during 1998~2012. A re-release today doesn't feel that special as streaming services and contents are so dazzled. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Wonder if Feige will make the congratulatory poster. In past there are many posters between Lucas and Spielberg, with SW & ET shuffling the Domestic record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hw64 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It seems possible, given that this re-release was announced only 2 days ago which is hardly any time at all to get the word out, that Avatar might have better walk-ups than similar releases, and possibly better legs. We're already seeing presales backloading in the opening weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 From early looks of it, seems like 17-19M OD, but numbers are small enough that they can change fast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borobudur Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 rmb 15m as of 6pm local time, should have no problem reaching 20m on Friday. Saturday PS was already much higher than was in Friday at about rmb 9m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Pretty normal trend through the day unlike other recent re-releases. ¥20M OD I guess. PS for tomorrow are good. Should go for ¥35-40M easily. Weekend ¥85-95M ($13-15M) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
