We Made A Beautiful Bouquet has crossed ¥80M. Originally, it was predicted to end at ¥30M, due to poor opening. Thanks to WOM, it has been saved, as global total exceeded $50M, &as usual Mainland China was the biggest Overseas Market, 2nd Market Overall after Domestic!

Dune Pre-sales was quite stronger than No Time To Die, but 007 wins the race because of WOM/Anticipation.

Ow Thanks! So pre-sales are not exactly that important in China? It seems to be a WOM heavy market...

The next week/week and a half will be key for determining whether China manages to contain this wave or whether the country gets thoroughly overwhelmed. The political cost of omicron getting out and tearing through the Chinese population would be unfathomable and the loss of life would be staggering… China is densely populated and has a massive elderly population and a ton of smokers… basically, the perfect recipe for disaster with a respiratory illness. So far, they're heading back to the same well of tricks (Shanghai's in an unofficial partial lockdown; Changchun and Jilin in northern China are in full lockdown; megacity Shenzhen entered a week of full lockdown today; and that's just listing some of the more high-profile locations). With China's enthusiasm for mass testing and contact tracing and shutting things down to stop spread, think there's still at least some cause for hope. Really hoping that this gets contained quickly and with a minimum of fuss… looking forward to being able to return to a movie theater when this wave is over.

 

And, no, Covid-zero isn't sustainable forever; official rhetoric is slowly turning in a direction where the country might move away from the policy in the quasi-foreseeable future. Given China's unique vulnerabilities to Covid-19 (and the lack of immunity in the population), it'll take time. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

 

Anyhow, speaking of box office… looks like the weekend box office is in the low 120 million RMB range (~$19 million USD); in other words, not good. March 2022 box office to date is just over 500 million RMB (under $80 million) across almost two weeks.

 

 

Well, at least we can use covid to save face for an underperforming box office run because it's an undeniable and acceptable reason, if Aquaman TLK fails we can simply blame covid too, (and also Amber Heard to some extent lmao)

They are important but at the level of Uncharted and The Batman, it does not matter much.

Any idea of the Fantastic Beasts 3 score for its April 8 release in series? Not too much competition, is it? A lot of Chinese people are waiting for the film from what I read.

Score?

 

Not sure how many people are waiting on it. The 1st one made $85M in China while the 2nd made $57M. I'd put the target at $40M for part 3.

But?

 

Je ne sais pas combien de personnes l'attendent. Le 1er a fait 85M$ en Chine tandis que le 2ème a fait 57M$ . Je mettrais l'objectif à 40 millions de dollars pour la partie 3. 

 

It's not too bad, right? I don't know the impact of the wizarding world in China. I just thought I understood that word of mouth is very important there, maybe a good surprise to come, the film looks much simpler and more magical.

[Legion Again]

FB3 maybe like $10M if they don’t delay imo.

How are presales for Moonfall in China?

[charlie Jatinder]

Not the presales thread. Take presales discussion in presales thread.
