For that reason I asked him. This kind of films are not specially massive in China. And it is not that China sucks, but they prefer another kind of films. Nothing wrong with that. Nobody complained when Zootopia grossed $235m there, for example...

 

Well Lotr didn't make 1B dollar here so I am still kind of disapointed

[bangbingchan]

It doesn't disappoint me at all.

Cinderella did 440M 

BatB 500-600M is more likely

told u one month ago.

Presale starts too early.Early number is not meaningful.The final presale is similar to Logan.Logan is about 600M~700M.

LOTR was released in 2002-2004. Chinese market was a bit smaller than now...

Warcraft only made 200M dollar.  And probably 10+ year of inflation and growth. It was ment as a joke.

[FantasticBeasts]

Isn't OD better than TJB?

Seems positive sign.

[Olive]

King Kong made 102M yuan back in 2006, #5 of that year, only behind Da Vinci's code among foreign movies.

#5 0f 2015 Goodbye Mr loser 1.44B

#5 of 2016 Monkey king 2 1.2B

[bangbingchan]

Buzz is not very strong for Kong.not strong as RE6.But Kong has holiday benefits.It's more Family film.Presale is fine

Actually its doing good. its OD is looking at 3.2x of presales. and with around 320-340m OW it has good potential to gross 100m overall. That is great for a musical.

usually closer to 4x on Saturday. 20% bump

TJB popped on VG WoM after OD. Big holds. Did 12x OD. Beast will likely be 6-7x OD

China really is a miracle market, where A dog's purpose > Rogue One

Now，Dog might be more than BatB.

Nostalgic style doesn't work in China.

Ah, OK! 

 

@peludo Thanks, of course. LOTR success is insane considering no 3D and China's insignificance back then.

[seduh]

Good numbers for BATB, It looks like China is recovering finally after some great weeks at the box office

Pixar never break out in China.IO is an original animation.Few original animation did great here.Trolls,Lego batman,Snoopy all disappointed.Sing and Moana are just okay.That's not particular.

 

RO，Dory，BatB,including SW7

different culture,Nostalgia doesn't work here.Chinese don't have special emotion towards those previous films.（If do,look   at Titanic 3D number）Those numbers are normal.They are all rank top3 in OS market.Can't expect too much for a young market

 

But I think,Caribbean,GofG，FF8，those much younger franchise can be great in dom and China at same time

Is that a serious question? The market is 100x larger in 2016 when WC launched than when LOTR did. I imagine LOTR would have done well with the current market.

Hobbit 3 did $125m in beginning of '15, market flat since then. LoTR might  have done $200m.

What about Jurassic World? ?

 

That film had nostalgia and that did great in China.
