[A Marvel Fanboy]

WIR OD (Tuesday): 2.8M yuan[brave OD, also a Tue, 2.1M yuan]

[Fullbuster]

I disagree, Ralph isn't disappointing, it's higher than Brave.I know it's not Ice Age but it's a new franchise, it's a good beginning.

Ok, now it seems boxoffice.com are reporting China box office weekly top 5 but dunno who writes it:http://www.boxoffice.com/latest-news/2012-11-06-box-office-the-bourne-legacy-continues-to-dominate

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Cold War breaks out big today (OD, Thursday). OD looks to be 20M yuan. 200M yuan is pretty much locked given no competition in next two weeks. Will beat TBL for sure.Can it beat Overheard 2 as the biggest HK production ? Very likely.Didnt expect this ...

[Simionski]

firedeep, do you know how is WIR doing. I see you posted the gross for the opening day, but nothing since then. Can it pick up over the weekend?

[Olive]

Saturday is quite good for Ralph.Maybe 4.5M 6-day total after Sunday.

WIR Tue-Fri stayed in the 2~3M yuan range. Sat is looking to more than double Friday.And Olive was right: 6 days opening for WIR should be 4+ millions-ish.

[Simionski]

Well, this is way better than the OD suggested and it will outgross Brave by a mile if I'm not mistaken. It really deserves it

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Yes.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Saturday:All films saw a nearly 100% bump. Cold War soared to whopping 27M yuan.Ralph increased 250%+ from Friday to nearly $1.5m.TBL closes to $1M for Sat, hefty week-week drop though.

[Bluebomb]

So what is Cold War looking at?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

So what is Cold War looking at?

Rough range is $30~40M, depending on Tuesday actuals and legs.

[Bluebomb]

This is for 5-day weekend?
