Both films have been the responsibles of these jumps. I think that 1b Yuan (140-150 milion dollars) is very probable for every SH film from now, no matters the brand. Far from Home could manage even bigger than that. The jump is undeniable in the genre. It is just that we can expect big numbers from certain films. Endgame will probably repeat or even increase IW figures. Maybe we could see the first 3b Yuan Hollywood film. Who knows...

Agafin Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 2 hours ago, LexJoker said: DOM =/= US. DOM=US+Canada. Wolf Warrior 2 made more in China than TFA made in US. On a sidenote, Indian movie Bahubali 2 sold more tickets in India than TFA did in US. But on the flip side, WW2's gross is actually 5-6% smaller than what got reported (ticket fees) so TFA's US gross is still slightly higher. There's no comparison in terms of tickets sold though.

justvision Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) It is so funny that people start praising China audience taste when the movies they root for do extra-ordinarily better than rest of the world (and in the process saving or helping further the movie/franchise or making sequels more likely), and then start questioning their taste when the movies they root for do not pan out as well in China as they have hoped for.

That 8.8 rating, 175 225 160, don't look that bad either. I am just saying. that is, what I try to convey here and elsewhere see my last few posts.

RealLyre Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 looks like Sunday drop for CM is -36%.., Harsh drop from an already weak Sat jump (+4.6%). has that ever happened for a CBM that had a muted increase on Sat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's mainly because of Fox Searchlight. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 You can’t really just pick and choose some movies to try and show whether a country has good taste or not. I mean I’m from the states and I see a lot of posters from English speaking countries talk about how China has bad taste because they like certain movies but I could literally do that for English speaking countries as well. Having said that, it’s clear that Chinese audiences have different taste than other countries but we can say that about every country. But that doesn’t mean their taste is worse than other countries. And by saying they have bad taste because they like certain movies just gives off an elitist vibe as if the countries we are all from haven’t propelled mediocre movies to great box office results too. The world has 6B+ people in it and depending on where you grew up, your taste in things will be different whether it’s music, movies, food etc Shocking, right. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studios release and market original films every weekend. Audiences just aren’t bothering to watch them. But that doesn’t mean studios aren’t releasing original content (and more times than not it’s quality content too) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) zootipia in 2016, coco in 2017, rpo in 2018, green book so far in 2019 .... legging it great in china. idea of 'bad' movies doing well in china at cost of 'good' movies is pretty silly. i don't agree with us/can performances many times. smh's $334 dom was 56% higher than venom's $213.5 dom. i don't get that either. didn't find smh more entertaining. venom doing 2.15x smh in china was helpful in negating what i though was a dom underperformance.

We still see original movies (more and more in arthouses circuits, less and less in big multiplexes...) Serioulsly, do you think studios will continue to put money and energy in original movies (specially tentpole... look what happened to Edge of Tomorrow...) like they did in the past years?

Gavin Feng Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 MCU solo opening is becoming more unpredictable than usual even if we have reliable pre-sale numbers & audience score.
