China and India are very similar (except for animations)

 

Yeah, while China is opening more and more to animations and is responding much better to them now then earlier, they are still a no-no in India. India has opened a lot more and become a lot more receptive to Hollywood movies in the past year though so it can be said to be China as it was a few, 5-7, years, ago - a new 'Developing' China.

By the way, if this is the lockdown period for foreign films, why is Shaun and Imitation Game screening?

Blackout is just for revenue-sharing Hollywood blockbusters, small- budget movies can be released because they don't make much money at any time.

Shaun and Imitation Game's rights are bought by local distributor for less than a few hundred thousand yuan.

MF Lawrence, based on your earlier table, does it mean that MH has no chance of overtaking TF4's gross? Especially since, MH's gross is slower than TF4 the past two days?

I'd say they are pretty close. MH had a thur opening, that burn off could have lowered the daily numbers a little for the following week.

The new opener is weak so little competition this weekend. Looks like MH will do 80-90m today and stay in lock step with TF4. But it must maintain 50% or less drops in the following 2 weeks which TF4 did and is rare in china. That being said MH will hold -35%~ today which is extremely rare and could be a sign of more good holds.

 

TF4 was still making money when it was shut down at 30 days, MH has the advantage of staying open and gain ground if it does fall behind. I think MH has a better than even chance of beating TF4.  Depends on whats opening in the next 2 weeks. 

 

If it does maintain -35% for the weekend and holds like that next weekend, then we start talking about FF7

 

I assume it will hold 50% in which case the table will match TF4 after this weekend and will be a foot race. So here are projections at -35%, daily data matching the performance of the last 7 days just to make it interesting

It is true since most would have hoped for a small increase instead...

Nevertheless, MH and TMK will break all time records this week. By today, TMK will be the top grossing animated film ever while MH will be the top grossing local film.

That happens a lot in china. you never see Friday lower than Thursday in domestic, with or w/o new competition. Even Saturdays can be lower than Thursday with some movies.

It is summer and Friday will have a much smaller bump. TF4 bumped just 3% its second Friday. MH's Monday drop was small and it held well throughout the week. I don't think Friday's performance was weak, it was Thursday performance was strong relative to Sunday's number. Evidence of this lies in the fact that Friday WoW was down just 38%. That's tremendous.

Lets see if it can bump 40-50% today. Its still on track to beat TF4 unless a big slide happens next week.

Wow - I think Monster Hunt has a shot at FF7 now.

Maybe reaches 400 million USD? 

 

No, no reasonable shot yet. I don't even think this will pass 350m. 325-330m would be a good target unless we get a big saturday and Sunday and exceptional drops over the coming weekdays.

its bumping over 50% today and holding -35% w/o/w. staying just a few % behind TF4

yeah, the weekdays will tell us something. I think the dailies will start beating TF4

350m will be likely if it hold 40% or better next weekend

It will have to hold -38% w/o/w for 6 more weeks to beat FF7

Yup, looks like ¥120+ million is in for MH today. Incredible hold. Actually TMK is doing extremely well too!
