Weekly Chinese Box Office Preview from BO

 

In order to maintain a healthy balance between domestic product and Hollywood fare, SARFT (The State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television) imposes an annual blackout "month" on most imported films. This weekend begins the month or more-long protection period and sees 14 new films enter cinemas.

 

Of the eight new domestic films, three co-productions, and three imports, Hollywood Adventures (横冲直撞好莱坞) has all the makings of a summer blockbuster. Directed by Justin Lin (Furious 3-6, Better Luck Tomorrow) and starring superstar and newly minted billionaire Vicky Zhao (赵薇), current it boys Huang Xiaoming (黄晓明) and babyfaced Tong Dawei (佟大为), this Hollywood-China coproduction has been aggressively marketed for months through publicity tours, music videos, and cast appearances. According to EntGroup's EFMT Index, Hollywood Adventures has the highest level of awareness and intent to purchase of any release this weekend. We think it could be a massive hit on the Mainland grossing upwards of $100 million a la The Breakup Guru which opened in the same frame last summer on its way to $107.83 million.

 

Another film getting buzz this weekend is Hear Me (听说), a lighthearted teen romance film from Taiwan starring popular performers Eddy Peng, Ivy Chen, and Michelle Chen. However, the film was released in Taiwan all the way back in 2009 which might hurt box office potential.

 

Begin Again starring Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley seems to have skirted the blackout, but its limited appeal to Chinese moviegoers is probably the reason for this unattractive release date.

Finally, Jurassic World will be losing most of its screens this weekend due to the protection period, but we still see the hot ticket in China placing in the top 3 and ending its run over $200 million. 

 

Other films opening: The Temptation in Lincang 临沧的诱惑 (China), Come Back, Love 约定到时候 (China), My Geeky Nerdy Buddies 大宅男 (China/Taiwan), Bloody Destiny 拳霸风云 (China), Can't Prove 无法证明 (China), I Love You, Too 恋爱排班表 (China), Where The Wind Settles 对风说爱你 (China/Taiwan), Twilight Online 午夜43路 (China/Hong Kong), The Three Pigs and the Lamp 三只小猪与神灯 (China), and The Adventures of Little Piglet Banna 小猪班纳之梦想大冒险 (China).

Hollywood Adventures' presale really sucks, leaving JW more than 15% showtimes this Friday.

It provides enough space for JW to stretch its legs.

Great news. Does that mean 15% of showtimes for the whole weekend? If that's the case it should get pass 200m by Sunday.

Family movies often get more showtimes on weekends.

So, the answer is yes. 

[POTUS 2020]

SA doing more today than Friday. Amazing hold. will get to 100m if it has 3% of screens

JW holding 50% from last week

Showtime count anyone?

[PDC1987]

Damn, JW losing screens is embarassing.

Don't think that word means what you think it does.

[Olive]

Showtimes Friday

Hollywood adventure 50.2%

JW - 14.5%

SPL2 -14.1%

Insurgent -3.5%

San Andreas -2.5%

[Bishop54]

Once poor WOM spreads about Hollywood Adventure maybe JW will gain some some showtimes back, or doesn't it work that way?
