May I remind you that Avatar held the top spot in 2009 until 2014.

Avatar performed better than any other film in Chinese cinema if you take into account the size of Chinese cinema in 2009 and the 1month cap.

This reminds me of when people predicted $500m for KPF3.

 

Anyway, I think some people correctly predicted last year that Mermaid would be the top movie of 2016. Any predictions for next year?

$50 million from China for Hacksaw Ridge would be fantastic, and totally unexpected.

First look at Journey to the West 2:

 

 

Stephen Chow seems to have struck a deal with IMAX for the movie to get priority screening so that should help with box office numbers. With the Chinese box office slowdown and Valentine's day being more than two weeks away from the first day of Chinese New Year, this is probably not gonna make Mermaid numbers but it will still be huge.

JTTW2 will gross more. The question is how much more it will gross considering the stagnancy of the market nowadays.

His old movies were really good. Shame that the same man who made Hero made something like TGW...
