pepsa Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Oh this movie, yes. It did not exactly crash and burn with 81m$ overall in China though The expectation were that is was going to overthrone TF4 or come close and 88M isn't realy close to 300M so yeah crash and burn.

Jupiter Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It is obvious then that expecting something to surpass a 309m$ film and manages only to get 88m$ automatically means that the expectations were false and ridiculous from the beginning.

For that reason is better to not say too much for Hobbit. Some people are saying $130m or even $180m. Calm down. What people who know the market have been saying is about many Hollywood blockbusters did last year, somewhere between $100m and $120m, what would already be great. If at the end it becomes a super success and reached those amounts, superb, but let's be realistic.

When presales for a movie is in the same league as TF4 and has a high budget for Chinese standarts its okey to say crash and burn.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not realy, I mean it dropped from it precedor (120M in 2010) with a few years in between. The budget was huge so it won't make profit and the presales were bigger than those of TF4 Olive what was the cost of GWTB? I can't find it anymore.

Olive Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 300m yuan without marketing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsa Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 300m yuan without marketing Do you have any reason why it bommed so hard? (Not that 80M is bad, but if you got a budget of 50M with out marketing you need atleast 150M) Btw, what % of the revenu do the studio's get (the chinese studios) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Bad WoM and incorrect marketing killed it. Studios get 45% of theatrical gross or so, and home video market is non existing in China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsa Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 What do you think will be the biggest movie of 2015, your top 5 predictions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 TH3 is unlikely to get $120m total even with $50m OW I think. $115m seems more likely. 2015 top 5 ? Very hard to guess but the winner could be any one of Avengers 2, Lost in HK and The Ghouls. While Zhong Kui, Dragon Blade, JW, FF should run for #4 and #5. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 One thing to note that the website collects data from more theaters than last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonstersandRoy Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) 54 hours: 7,997 Surely going to smash through 60k with these numbers. Though Johnny Storm said they collect data from more theaters now. Be interesting to know how big a difference that actually is. The current numbers could be quite deceptive?
