But BP has really low Maoyan rating, 8.0 i think. CM has a China drop that is unfit for an 8.8 Maoyan.

I mean come on. That's just dumb. I liked Captain Marvel but Aquaman was better, Black Panther was so much better. For me easily #1 of all marvel films. Rewatchability of that film is so high. Yet Venom is near dead last of all comicbook adaptions I have seen (50+) and it did awesome. What makes sense in America doesn't necessarily make sense in China.

He went little off topic with politics and SJW culture so @DeeCee threadbanned him.

 

China BO has been missing his input the last few days.

I think you might have missed DeeCees hint about hidden posts.

From Corpse:

 

"Previews started to become less common in 2008, then Eiren (Motion Picture Association of Japan) decided they wouldn't be included in opening weekends anymore in 2010. And since then, previews (which includes midnights) have become a thing of the past with almost no film receiving any with the exception of very, and I mean very, fan-driven films such as late-night anime films getting a few theaters on board once or twice a year (if that).

In some situations, previews even included an entire weekend's worth of showings the prior week. Opening weekends these days appear much less "impressive" as a result, and will likely never challenge the very top of the charts."

4mn pre-sales for CM for Friday. At midnight shall be around 6mn, that shall be giving Friday of 30-35mn Approx, which looks like too much going by trend so far. If that happens, the second weekend will be close to 120-140mn or $18-21mn Approx (-76-80%).

I was expecting so low from the film, this looks like extraordinary trending.

Forrest Gump is one of those movies that is near impossible to remake/reboot/spin-off (etc).

You misunderstood my comment. I liked BP as well, the Chinese didn't so they gave it an 8.0 in Maoyan. And because of that, shorter legs are expected. Which it did.

 

Now, for CM they gave it 8.8. So shouldn't we expect better legs than BP. That 8.8 rating should result in a 1.8x to 1.9x multiple. But CM looks like it will end with a 1.5x to 1.6x multiple. That multiple isn't what you expect from an 8.8 rating. That's why I said 'unfit'.

 Regardless of where one stands those arguments suck. Might as well start talking about prolife/prochoice or gun control. (Horrible idea as well). I do like comparing the Chinese box office market to others that have shifted. Makes one wonder what it will be like 2030. The quality of their films really seems good, maybe the world will start watching even more. 

 

Can't wait for wandering earth to hit Netflix.

Maoyan predicts 120mn Approx.

Oh no I understand your comment and it makes perfect sense. It's just crazy and I certainly hope for 1.8 or 1.9 happens. That would be much better.
