China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

[Mojoguy]

Disney is going to give up on marketing Star Wars movies in the future in China. It is a waste of money since China doesn't care.

So a $25m opening weekend for TLJ?

I think higher. Despite the WOM, it'd have to basically not increase at all today for $25m - even Rogue One increased 20% or so on Saturday. I'd say $27m.

Just 1m with 19k shows listed. Not looking strong. 40-60mm OD

$25m OW maybe

45m total. Depends on WoM

I guess we were too hasty predicting $150 million for it. Though this was before anyone saw Ex-File 3 breakout of this magnitude. 

[Brainbug]

Where could Ex-File 3 land now? Can it go 300M+ US-dollars?

[Mojoguy]

The biggest question this weekend won't have anything to do with TLJ, but it is going to be....

Will they make an Ex-File 4 now?

I have read here it could even reach $460m (3b yuan). I do not know if it will go so high, but $300m seems extremely likely. It has been growing day by day along the whole week and unless there is an upcoming local big film soon, foreign competition does not seem specially strong...

You guys better hope chinese users won't vote on Rotten Tomatoes, lol.

 

Audience Score will drop to low 30's, if that happens. 

 

People in Mainland China rarely use RT.

There is literally only one place in the whole world that The Last Jedi will open lower than Justice League.  freaking unbelievable...

Is there ever a romantic comedy that grossed more than $460M worldwide? I'm unfamiliar with the genre.

Ex-File 3: return of the exes would be a hilarious name for the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time.

The Mermaid, another romcom from China, made $553m WW.

I think Justice league did as well or even better than TLJ in some Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipines aand Singapore.

The Mermaid is family/fantasy comedy, like Monster Hunt or Beaty and the Beast.

 

EX3 is typical romcom.

Yes. 3B is a stretch, not happening, but $300m should be a lock.

I haven't seen The Mermaid, but the movie has been called a romcom in several articles I read about it.
