A Dog’s Purpose  -  553m / 601m

Logan did(officially/after) get over $100m after all, lovely.

[Mr Impossible]

I love how A Dog's Purpose randomly did huge numbers here. Hopefully we'll see more nonblockbuster films break out in China.

So it DIDN'T crack a billion? Your previous post implied that it did

[Premium George]

Yes, it's the year of the cock in China which in Mandarin sounds a lot like the word for "box office", ergo people think it's lucky to go see movies this year...

I wonder who will win the year between F8 and Transformers 5? F8 looks good for at least $300M and has the potential for $400+M.

If i had to bet now my money would be on F8

[keysersoze123]

I would say tf5. That could double Tf4 and make 4b yuan. F8 will make around 3b yuan !!!!!

[KP1025]

That would be incredible. It doesn't look like any other Hollywood film can challenge these two in the foreseeable future except the Avatar sequels.
