China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

[Tower]

Wait, what? A month down from the previous year? That's....er.....strange.....

 

Well, July hasn't started yet so we can't be sure, but last year had Transformers 3, and this year will have just local films, so something better break out in a big way to pass 2014.

Hmm transformers 3... Well, that was the biggest movie ever here by a big margin so I guess a drop's not surprising or worrying. It would have increased a lot more (from the prev year) than the other months last year too so I guess this drop would just balance things off. I believe, as Lawrence already said, that the same thing will happen in April next year. Still I hope months like these will only be an exception/ special case and that the market will keep increasing on average. I, and many others too, have big, BIG, hopes from China for the future.

[Lihongkim]

Hollywood Adventures may not cross $100M, July box office will be down from last year.

 

wish Monster Hunt will rescue this situation

A month is meaningless, way too short of a timespan. Should be looking at periods of 3 months minimum.

TF4 did $120m in june. 200m in july. HA was the hopeful to do big numbers into july, like TF4. its barely going to bump today. not going to have any legs, july will get off to a poor start on wed. lets see how the new openers are on Friday. last july was up 100%, so yes being down not a bad thing but it does show that massive growth now at these large levels are hard to sustain. one month down means the next month needs to make up for it.

 

june looking to be up 20%, july could be down 20%. if august comes in flat we could see a flat quarter. same thing could happen next march through may. there are several small months in the year that one hit could make up to 50-100% increase like FF7 april. I think we will see a bit of a seesaw in percentage swings from month to month thru next year.

 

I think this year will be up over 30%. but with wavering months ahead the next 12 months maybe below 20%. the next calendar year as well.

 

early sat est

HA 60m

JW 35

SA 6

 

SA will make it $100m. it should get to 98.5m tomorrow and do 3m/500k Monday thru thursday

[Asyulus]

$100m for SA still a probability, for JW, SPL2 and HA, when it should end gross?

I'll bet its Doraemon.

[Fantaboy]

I'll bet its Doraemon.

Doraemon is a Japaneses movie,not a local one   

[Lihongkim]

Justin Lin try to make HA different from his previous directing

Making his first comedy movie

Maybe it's not funny enough to make Chinese audiences laugh.

Great for JW, I was expecting much worse considering it losing screens.

Does this bode well for it to keep more screens going forward?

Can you explain why?

[JennaJ]

Can you explain why?

 

It's a Chinese animation movie. Is it really hard to grasp that it's less relevant to most of our interests?

"three little pigs and the magic lamp"

4.5m

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Hmm? Weird that BOM hasnt updated Doraemon's OS gross yet.

Considering that it did $79M in Japan and $83M in China. Plus, Italy & South Korea with $3M each.

Which equals to around $168M OS.
