Fake Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I think I'll do more like 500m ($80M). I'm expecting a bigger 2nd week gross. Movies in China rarely have sub-50% weekly drops, unless they have exception WOM. 55-60% is the norm. 500m is like the really really best case scenario.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Remember I said on Sunday even 35m Monday wouldnt be too bad ? Hours ago, over on Tencent I told folks that Sunday was inflated by being the OD and meanwhile a holiday for certain group of students and workers. The two factors combined helped to inflate Spidey's Sunday gross. Sunday being OD alone would not be enough to cause a huge 24m yuan drop (60 to 36m) on 2nd day if it were just a normal working day. However those guys, including the one who posts daily BO numbers on Weibo, aka the guy who originally feeds daily estimates/numbers that is usually re-posted in this thread by Olive, dont believe the part-holiday effect and simply think that 24m yuan is a normal drop after a big OD. It is disappointing that they fail to see the obvious truth. As I put earlier, Sunday was not a pure workday (they aruged it was, lol). It was a bit weaker than a normal Sunday but much stronger than a normal worday. The weekly dailies could be something like 36-34-30-25-25-40-32 = 222m week. So I guess for the whole run: Week 1: 60m Week 2: 220m Week 3: 100m Week 4: 40m Week 5: 10m Total: 430m ($70m) $100m is pretty much impossible now, especially with the average WOM it has. Yeah $100m seems indeed dead. But 500m yuan is still possible. dont think it will drop to 25m low on Thursday and Friday should increase without major openers. If I have to guess: 36+36+31+27+33+53+43=260m 2nd week. Maybe even a bit higher than 260m. See if Monday 36m changes. Week 1: 60m Week 2: 260m Week 3: 120m Week 4: 50m Week 5: 10m 500m total. Columbia China people went out to celebrate on Monday night, so they must be very pleased with Spidey's performance ... despite they once hoped ASM2 could do CA2 numbers. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastwood47 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I don't see any of China's numbers figured into the overseas gross on BOM on the international breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I don't see any of China's numbers figured into the overseas gross on BOM on the international breakdown. Specific #s are always added/updated mid to late week by BOM but the overall total is up to date as of Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little more optimistic than Firedeep but probably not quite as positive as Columbia China. With nothing on the 3D, IMAX or foreign film front for another 17 days, I think Spidey will be 500+ close to 600 when it's said and done, this weekend will be key. Otherwise, fire deep is right in saying day 1 was no normal "work day" and that the drop on Monday while drastic, is not tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
