China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

[porginchina]

The fine cinematic minds over at Global Times have weighed in on Everything Everywhere All at Once and Turning Red— https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202205/1266460.shtml; looks like both movies are being tarred for unfavorable depictions of Chinese motherhood? (Everything Everywhere has been doing quite well on the Chinese Internet every since a high-quality HD copy of the movie leaked)

 

Chinese film import standards continue to be weird.

Somewhat interesting comments from IMAX's CEO on China— https://deadline.com/2022/05/imax-ceo-rich-gelfond-china-hollywood-jurassic-world-dominion-top-gun-avatar-1235032420/

 

Based on the Chinese box office so far in 2020/2021/2022, not sure how strong the backlog of unreleased Chinese films really was… outside of The Eight Hundred, National Day releases, and Spring Festival, domestic movies have been pretty soft in the post-pandemic era.

I will confess to some intrigue in how China's nationwide Covid numbers keep going down yet the number of open movie theaters is… also going down. 2022, quite the year for the Chinese box office!

Bad Guys did ¥9.8M last Sunday.

If the number of theaters open stays at the same level as of now, what can we realistically expect for JW: Dominion? Does something like 50M sound realistic?

Realistically, it's a mystery. I think $50 million US is not totally impossible… things are steadily reopening (Beijing has partially reopened theaters; Shanghai shouldn't be too far behind) and there's been an astonishing lack of new movies for the big screen, which could help build anticipation. That said, grosses have been so low that really who knows. And, as ever with China, a lot depends on the movie's social media scores.

There are still a couple of weeks of repeopening until 10 June, so I still hope in the miracle and that it exceeds 100M. Also because otherwise it will gross less than the previous film...

[Olive]

BAD GUYS is the first 200M yuan movie since spring festival holiday.

JWD is going to be the first film that is actually interesting to track in China after quite some time, it's going to be a real test for both motivation for theatre attending and level of appetite for Hollywood blockbusters, I think neither is very clear at the moment. Enough theatres have opened but no film big enough opened to test the ceiling for the current state of market.

I think $50M+ is pretty easy, wondering if $100M would be realistic.
