Don't discount China's love of sci-fi/disaster films. This one is gonna have legs and get over 1B no problem.

LOOOOOOL

 

Not gonna happen. NYSM2 will beat it and it has a lot of competition in coming weeks.

Midnight #s:

NYSM2 - 6.2m yuan
ID2 - 5.56m

Friday #s so far (w/o midnight):

NYSM2 - 25m yuan
ID2 - 16m

 

 

NYSM2 is doing very well and has legs. ID2 is falling way behind. It won't have legs because WOM isn't good.

Do you have an OD prediction for each? 

[POTUS 2020]

ID1 was not constant action and could be considered "too slow". If this is similar it may not do well.

Yes. That's why the IMDB rating is dropping fast. Many of the asian moviegoers want constant action from this type of film. I think I know why fox cut 20-30 mins from the movie. It probably had more character development and some cool vfx shots, but not action scenes. 

 

That's why I said, it won't have legs anywhere.

Yuan is dropping a lot today. Already at 6.616. I guess that Brexit affects everywhere.

All below expectations, especially IDR. I hope Hollywood realize that casting Asian Stars in cameo appearances is useless, especially Asian Stars with no acting ability or can't really speak english.. 

Anyway Warcraft fudged again today, but no1 seems to care. Gosh..

Yeah, totally useless, some Chinese sees it as a negative if they spot Chinese actors in a supposedly "American" movie...

I think it might work if those roles weren't cameos, or those people are good actors. And I think Hollywood can't differentiate that.
Eg: Jackie Chan, Jet Li in Hollywood films will work. And I would say Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen in Rogue One, their characters seem pretty important... will work.

But not Jay Chou's 5min cameo in NYSM2 or Angelababy's 20min yet unimportant role in ID2....
Some actors just seems like a natural fit, while others seems so forced.

 I think the issue is that many Chinese feels that Hollywood is pushing too hard to earn their money, and its backfiring. So many people are hoping these 2 film flops so Hollywood will stop using such techniques to trick them of their money.

[John Marston]

so ID4 2 is flopping here?
