China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

8.9/10(A-) on Maoyan for NTTD. Finally something good happens.

[charlie Jatinder]

The start is low so I guess doesn't matter, but good enough to beat F9 WW.

 

But fuck China film board. November is wasteland, they have a potential $300M film release, and they are releasing "who asked for it" Jungle Cruise, Snake Eye, blah blah.

 

Fucking release Venom 2 already.

[Issac Newton]

At 19:15 CST

NTTD : ¥36.8M /¥39.1M

TBALC : ¥20.5M /¥5396M

Dune : ¥5M /¥185.5M

 

TBALC lose Market share from 42% - 27.6%.

their drugs are definately on another level, a re-release of fast 9 would do better than these......

LMAO, shout those words at their office 🤣

Well, for Dune too, tough to make money if your screens are taken away. Looked good legs before that. Some strange market dynamics.

¥150M weekend for NTTD ?

 

¥100M for TBALC / ¥5475M total ?

I was thinking of a drop a little lower for TBALC but whatever.

Eh, it’s easy to make money with fewer screens if demand is there for high occupancy, in which case you gain more screens back. It’s a very smooth system for the most part, much prefer it to Triassic screen booking system in DOM.

I don't know if it's a bug or not. But is it normal that every time you write a message, below it I see a quote from Charlie Jatinder from March 24, 2019 on AEG ?

TBALC running little more than half of NTTD

 

NTTD OD at ¥42M at 20:15 CST, makes $20-$25M+ weekend possible. But, despite of poor pre-sale, for sure, NTTD will enjoy a better weekend than Dune

In China, if I am not wrong, Venom was already released 9 November 2018. 

[Issac Newton]

I might act funny but I strongly believe that "Venom 2" or "Venom : Let There be Carnage" is set to release on 9 November 2021 to coincide with Venom's Chinese Release (9/11/2018)

Makes sense, although more supply can also drive sales up, but knowing how advanced all everyday life digital systems in China are I wouldn't be surprised that they have the best optimizing systems for this too.

[von Kenni]

Quick question: would Eternals gotten a release in China without Chloé Zhao's interview due to the uncuttable LGBT content?

 

I read sometime ago in news that Chinese government is taking a bit harder stance in the future for that kind of content. Hopefully not going into extremes like in Russia. If I understand right, Eternals got R rating there due to that and the current "no LGBT content to minors" law. A bit surprised that they didn't censor the whole movie there.

 

Is this going to be a bigger problem in the Chinese film market for foreign films too?

[Saul Goodman]

So any update on Venom 2 release?
