About to pass DoS total haul. So 1 week of release to match Smaug. Shame about the mad screens drops, this probably still would have done well on more screens.

[Pypa94]

early Sat 24,00%

Comedy movies always do better. Look low budget comedy Miss Grannny pass 350M easily. Comedy reality show Running Man open today. Its box office should be at least 200M+. Watch top 3 domestic box office all time are all comedy movies :

1. Lost in Thailand (2012) 1265M

2. JTTW : CTD (2013) 1246M

3. Breakup Buddies (2014) 1165M

Even Most of HollyWood blockbuster can not top it. Wait to see 2015 comedy movies lost in Hong Kong, a sequal to Lost in Thailand, & Hollywood Adventure.

I don't like that :/

[Pypa94]

BOTFA lost most screens in the country. Cities gap about 5%, country more than 15% for Friday showtimes share

I am shocked at Unbroken bombing in China. I thought there was a lot of buzz. UB needed one smash market OS and now it appears not to get it. That sucks.

[Lihongkim]

Yes, It is diversity. One thing could be good depond on the way we think, like it or not.

Update for BoFA: Thursday 27.76M (Gross to 449.46M)

[Leyla]

in retrospect Im laughing about me being super excited about the 'better release date than DoS' 

at this point I guess we should be thankful for BoTFA to crawl past 100

how much the budget for miss granny?

 

[Pypa94]

It will be suprise for us when BOTFA with small showtimes share but fully packed almost on par with that comedy ;p (May the dream comes true)

[Lihongkim]

And Miss Granny will easily pass 350M yuan, a great success for a low budget movie.

Budget shouldn't be more than 20M based on the looks of the movie.

[MonstersandRoy]

According to that Weibo box office bloke, Hobbit took 31m yuan on Friday, for a 481m total ($77m). Passed DoS. 2nd place.

 

Running Man film opened top and took 68m yuan.

 

Bonnie Bear 2 opened to 21.8m yuan/total 26.6m.

Unbroken 5.0m($800k)

Miss Granny 2.0M/352M($56.4M)

I like how Google translates Unbroken to Indestructible when translating from Chinese to English. One sounds like a superhero movie or a brash Michael Bay action movie.

Aamir Khan’s PK to receive China wide release

I wish we got it too

[nVIDIADriver]

There are some slight increases for BoFA

1/23 89.74M (Midnight：5.03M)

1/24 119.09M (+32.7%)

1/25 97.60M (-18%)

1/26 40.95M (-58%)

1/27 37.72M (-7.9%)

1/28 31.82M (-15.6%)

1/29 27.95M (-12.2%)

1/30 31M (EST. +10.9%)

BoFA does a good job today, however, tomorrow is still tough: a new cartoon will open, the second weekend can hardly get 130M, such a hugh drop.

[alee7915]

Nobody discuss about Running Man which opened today and took $11M?

[Elessar]

Pretty decent friday all things considered. Hopefully it doesn't go down with actuals...
