China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

I have a question considering IM3 has done pretty good (not the best legs)

 

Should TA 2 be certain for a 100 million with a decent release date?

The Avengers 2?     Well.....we should consider how big the chinese market will be in 2015

It is said that the negotiation on Oblivion's revenue sharing didnt work out between CFG and Wanda. So Wanda decided to pull it off, leaving just one early morning show or one midnight show per day in one IMAX theater. And additionally, Wanda also cut its regular 2D screenings.

I suppose).

$100M for TA2 is a certain, no matter what. More like $150M plus.

 

That is 2015, so which movie will be the #1 Hollywood is gonna be interesting to watch. Maybe it will be:

#1. Star Wars 7

#2 TA2

The two could be close though.

 

KFP3 will undoubtably be #1 of it gets a Dec 2015 release. But that date will be hard to get.

Saw this being mentioned on the Colbert Report about a week ago, so I just want to ask, is it true that Mandarin's name was changed to Man Daren in order not to cause offence?

You can see that today Wanda still kept 2000+ shows for Oblivion, yet Saturday it becomes only 700 or so.

The Chinese subtitle says "Man DA Lin", which is just a transliteration of "Mandarin".

Early Friday estimates:

[*]#1. IM3 23M [*]#2. SY 18M [*]#3. Oblivion 16M [*]#4. Croods 5.5M

 

Apparently got influenced by OB, poor increases for both IM3 and SY.

 

Meh start for OB. will struggle to sub 60M $9.5M opening. Not sure if 3X legs could happen with such poor WOM.

[Olive]

The Croods is really a beast on weekends.

280M finish?

300M possible if it get an extended release? 

[Fullbuster]

IM3 will reach $100m but when?

From next week it will have less than 5% screening and then disappears soon. 280M is locked, thinking 290M.

$46M or so, excellent for non-sequel animation.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It definitely is. Biggest animated movie of the year (well if you dont count Smurfs 2). No one saw this coming.

[Olive]

Great increase for IM3 and Croods today!

IM3 +80% ?

Croods +200%?

Pixar always flop. No matter how hard Disney push them.

 

Chinese audience love talking animals.
