China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

I think what China is doing with its governance is good thing. It's working well economically and socially.

 

Unlike other Asian countries especially like India, Pakistan, etc. They are still a shithole place to live.

Sorry for my comment.but I had not seen your post and he hit one of my buttons.

[dudalb]

It has hit the fan in the last 24 Hours. Apparently the Chinese Government has been been lying about the virus bigtime.

THis is not going to be resolved anytime soon.

i hope disney gets it to 2,8 bill, i mean its 2,3 mill off, i wonder why disney didnt do that

[dudalb]

I see we are going to be spinning the wheels in this forum for the next few weeks at least... maybe longer.

Parasite has grossed $5mn in Taiwan. Looking at some data, that suggest a possibility of $100-175mn in China, most around $150mn ish.

 

Ratio of China Breakouts to Taiwan.

Dangal: $188mn against $5.5mn: 34x

Secret Superstar: $116mn against $0.9mn: 128x (outlier)

Coco: $184mn against $4.8mn: 38x

Zootopia: $237mn against $8.7mn: 27x

Green Book: $72mn against $1.9mn: 37x

 

Bigger films, which have established fanbases.

Aquaman: $292mn against $15mn: ~20x

Endgame: $631mn against $29mn: 22x

Venom: $270mn against $10mn: 27x

 

Shame with Covid-19 we are missing that but I am told there is an unofficial ban on Korean film in China but government may allow this one to cover for the loss due to Covid-19.

Yeah, they're likely taking the biggest hit out of all the major studios because of this. I'm wondering if this will end up being their worst year in a long time.

Any company doing a lot of business in Asia is going to take a pretty big hit because of the virus. Would not be surprised if it's effect end up causing a world wide recession.

Nasty thing for Disney about this hit is there is no compensating factors,,they can't hope for ancillary markets to help lessen the loss. It's pure red ink.

And I suspect the overhead on just maintenance for  the properties in Asia is considerable.

Disney will be fine. The other smaller companies are in serious shit.

 

That's like worrying about apple a company locked to be dominant for years thanks to fake 5g.

real problem is the virus might wreck the whole Chinese economy, which would put the world economy into a recession which would hurt everybody..even Disney.

[cdsacken]

Way too early to suggest that. Full blown Chinese recession would certainly hurt everyone.

It would drag the world's economy down with it.

Take some economics, guy.

I agree. I said it's too early to assume that will happen

I agree it's too soon to say it will happen, but the longer the virus crisis goes on the more damage it will do to the Chinese ecnomy.

[cdsacken]

Definitely. They need to nip it in the bud asap

Residential lockdowns of varying strictness — from checkpoints at building entrances to hard limits on going outdoors — now cover at least 760 million people in China, or more than half the country’s population, according to a New York Times analysis of government announcements in provinces and major cities. Many of these people live far from the city of Wuhan, where the virus was first reported and which the government sealed off last month.
