So looks to be 184M 2nd week at the moment.  With addational theater reports, could be close to 190M. 280m + 190m = 469M total after two wkns.

 

The next test will be Aug 13th when The Palace opens on Chinese VD. Then Aug 16th when Unbeatable opens. After that, it pretty much ends run on Aug 20.

It looks like the tax dispute between Hollywood studios and the China Film Group might come come to an end, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

 

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/china-box-office-standoff-hollywood-602667 China Box-Office Standoff: Hollywood Could Receive Back Payments Soon 

 

Some highlights:

Sources say the powerful China Film Group is mulling a temporary settlement to resolve the tax dispute, with a permanent solution in the works.

 

BEIJING -- A solution in a tax dispute in China that has resulted in long delays in box-office payments to Hollywood studios could be coming soon, as the state film giant, China Film Group, explores interim solutions ahead of a more permanent resolution in coming weeks. 

 

Meanwhile, the country's top film industry body, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT), remains in talks with the country's tax bureau to waive the 2 percent luxury tax on theater tickets, and the issue is due to be tabled at the next meeting of the State Council, which is chaired by Premier Li Keqiang.

 

The tax had previously been waived in a bid to boost the film business, but under changes in China's corporate tax law, the tax bureau insisted on a 2 percent withholding tax for all imported movies, similar to a 2 percent withholding tax that other foreign companies in China have to pay.

They of course will get paid, just a matter of time. I dont know why some of you guys even thought they wouldnt.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Wom for TT2 seems better than TT this time. So with that OD, considering CVD next week, 400M is very possible.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Sep Schedule:

 

8.30 The Great Gateby 3D

 

9.10 Elysium 2D/2D IMAX

9. 12 The Smurfs 2 3D

9.18 Turbo 3D

Going by TT OW inter multiplier (9m previews, 68M Thu, 61M Fri, 76M Sat, Sun 60m), TT2 will do 212M opening week (4 days) with 54M Thu (another 2M from preview, reported 56M OD).

 

That would put TT2 over PR on the weekly chart. PR looks to be sub 190M 2nd week at the moment.

Based on the performance of TT2's night shows, I think it won't win this week.

 

TT2's daytime shows give people some illusions. We should judge after its night shows.

TT2's second day dropped even harder than TT1.

[POLYLOVE]

TT's OW: 55M+40M+50M+40M=185M?

More or less.
