Tomb Raider - Mar.16

Shape of Water - Mar.16 (limited. cut and new stuffs for passing the censorship. F**k you Fox)

Pacific Rim 2 - Mar.23

 

Ready Player One may open on Mar.30.

 

A secret non-english movie may open on Apr.(Qingming festival)

 

Deadpool 2 have a great chance to get a release date in China. Just like Logan, Alien: Covenant & Shape of Water, cutting some shoots & changing by new stuffs. 

 

For Fox I say this again with respect

 

 

 

How bad are the Chinese censors with nudity? There's a few gory moments that will definitely be cut, but if they won't allow any nudity at all, some scenes have to be cut entirely.

I would be very surprised if Mowgli came anywhere near Jungle Book's gross. The interest and curiosity factor is going to be much lower now despite WB marketing it as a completely unrelated version from the Disney film. Reading reviews, a lot of Jungle Book's praise came from its visuals and charm. Mowgli is supposed to be a darker and grittier story, and I'm not sure it will get anywhere near the same critical reception and WOM. I think it's much more likely to make Legend of Tarzan numbers in China or around $45-50 million.

I saw the movie in HK. And I don’t know how Fox made this happen…I have no idea what a Chinese censorship version would look like...

Posted in the Presales thread, thought I'd post here for those interested:

 

Final presales:

 

Monster Hunt 2 - 294.1M

Detective Chinatown 2 - 174.2M

Monkey King 3 - 85.1M

Operation Red Sea - 56.7M

Boonie Bears 4 - 42.1M

 

Totals: 678.4M Presales and ~355,000 showings. This makes the day, in just presales remember the following:

• 2nd best single day ever (behind 806m, in front 645m and 603m)
• Most showing in a single day (needs checking fully, but has beaten every day I've checked by 30,000)
• MH2 has the 4th best opening day for a single film, just in presales
• MH2 has the 13th best single day for a single film, again just in presales

A presale multiplier of just 1.47x gets February 16th to 1B single day gross, first time ever!

 

Also should note that Maoyan is forecasting the following totals:

Monster Hunt 2 - 4.297B ($677m)

Detective Chinatown 2 - 2.525B ($398m)

Monkey King 3 - 869m ($137m)

Operation Red Sea - 1.955B ($308m)

Boonie Bears 4 - 704m ($111m)

3 films over $300m and 2 of them bordering $400m 

If those predictions become true, MH2 (#2), Detective 2 (#5) and Operation Red Sea (#10) would get into the top 10 ever. And the 3 films being released the same day...

Chinese New Year really can be a powerful time for Box Office. However Maoyan are often very wrong about their predictions, so take with a pinch of salt. However they seemed to have got MK3's bad WOM correct 

 

[ZeeSoh]

Secret Superstar has made 745m Yuan till now or about 117.5m usd. It is unlikely to make much more seeing that its losing almost all of its screens tomorrow. 

 

It made 8.33 times more money in China than in its domestic box office. Thats one of the highest I have ever seen a movie perform outside its home market

Probably next year for Bumblebee. And $70M budget Transformers movie could do far worse than TF5.

 

It is quite bigger than a $70M movie more in the $125M+ range, they are spending in California qualified cost alone $102.5M

No showtimes for MH2 & DC2(distributors asked this) until 6:00am & 8:00am. So the real final pre-sale can be higher

[Xiaoshu]

At 11:00a.m total box office 811M, already beats previous best single day record. 

MH 2 : 347M

DC 2 : 203M

TMK 3 : 103M

Red Sea : 68M

BB 4 : 53M

[Xiaoshu]

2 p.m

 

MH 2 : 422M

DC 2 : 257M

TMK 3 : 131M

Red Sea : 91M

Bear 4 : 66M

 

Total 1017M 

[eXtacy]

Cant believe this is not being more talked about. This is absolutely a new milestone in the cinema world. 

 

Biggest weekend overall in US: 305m (#1 Force Awakens, Dec 18-20th 2015)

 

These numbers make it look like China is heading for 500m+ weekend.

[Mr Impossible]

These numbers are fcking insane! 

[fabiopazzo2]

Friday is already at $175m and it is not even 4pm...

 

Detective Chinatown 2 is already at 282m Yuan ($45m). Could Black Panther opening in USA "just" be the third biggest around the world this weekend in a single market?

 

Edit: and adding presales for whole weekend the cume is already over $250m at this moment.

[Arlborn]

How the hell is this market still growing this much?? I thought it had slowed down a bit! That's amazing.

[peludo]

MH2 has just reached 500m Yuan ($78.7m). If I am not wrong, it is the first film able to do that amount in a single day.
