Thank you. I think some are thinking because it had a solid hold this weekend it will do great next as well which isn't a lock. This market is tough.

Normally you're right, but theaters are so empty now and it won't drop hard unless people suddenly hate going to cinema next weekend... And that's part of the reason it had a good drop this weekend.

Yes. They've been extending a lot of movies with lesser dailies.  Not sure why. Its not close to TWE.  It has nothing to do with the trade war, they are giving July releases this year to fill the theaters, admissions are down this year.

I wonder would chinese movie theaters cancel the show if only one of two tickets sold? Or if no one shows up.

normally the show is not cancelled if at least one person shows up. if there is no one, the it cancels.

Aladdin is not to be worried. Next weekend is kinda empty.

Movies are doing well today

EG may increase over yesterday

What is the reason??

[JimiQ]

C'mon EG is not increasing over yesterday. The thing is that during saturday people go to the films starting at 22:00, nearly no one is gonna do that on sunday

It's doing better than expected today though, already 18.5M @ 20:23

Is this for the weekend?? Seems like a 55-56% drop for Pikachu if so.

Fair enough will block him. He's delusional.

MON could be more like a holiday because of May.20 (520 sounds like I Love You in Chinese).

not really. 520 is just another lame excuse for lovers to hang out.

consider it another V day

 

So here is the big difference between NA cinema market and China cinema market: in NA, movie going is mostly driven by friends group watching and families wherease in China it is by young couples/love birds, which leads to much bigger Friday box office increases and much better performance from family films and toons in NA, and essentially every holiday in China plays out  like a V day at the box office. You find as many as 10 V days with a calendar year in CBO driven by young couples.
