Thanks for covering, Rth!

 

A tropical storm is edging toward HK. Signal No. 3 has already been raised. Strong winds and heavy rain are expected for the weekend. It's unlikely that Signal No. 8 will be put up but there's always a chance if the storm takes a sudden turn north. Admissions will be affected. In what way I am not sure. Typhoons always gives me headaches.

Freaking insane for World War Z. This breakout is brought to you by Brad Pitt's Chanel commercial. There is a wide range where World War Z can finish opening weekend due to the typhoon. I have put it down for anywhere between 1.8-2.4m. What a great hold for Now You See Me. World War Z owns the stage and Now You See Me survives anyway. 2m will be broken this weekend and 3m is locked. Both movies having superb opening weekends is not good news for Man of Steel.

Hangover 3 dropped off with World War Z on the map but it will get to 1.5m even if it has to crawl there when Man of Steel opens. It'll end as a slight disappointment for failing to meet Hangover 2's total. Fast & Furious 6 had a pretty good hold. It'll get to 3.1m. Total disaster for Switch. This is doing worse than Future X-Cops. It will be Andy Lau's lowest grossing feature in HK. Pee Mak Phra Khanong is still doing well. It will get to $10m HK. After Earth fell off the face of the Earth in rapid fashion. This clunker won't get to 1.5m. Another very good hold for American Dreams in China. Amazing WOM for Miracle in Cell No. 7 has sparked its 2nd weekend, easing just 4%. It will pass at least $150,000. So Young is not grabbing Hong Kong audiences. This Mainland hit will not make it to $200,000.

Most theaters still have not released pre-selling. I don't know why. MoS is doing great in IMAX and pretty good at MCL so far.

Phenomenal for World War Z. Now You See Me is looking great too. Theaters have been placing them on 3/4/5 screens altogether. The rest of the films weren't so lucky.

Hangover 3 had a very weak increase. Huge decrease for American Dreams in China. Wonderful for Miracle in Cell No. 7. Not good for So Young. After Earth is dying quicky. Awful for Badges of Fury. Not bad for To the Wonder. The Great Gatsby keeps on fighting.

I was going to see WWZ in Mongkok but the rain is really hard so I might miss it today.

 

Again, thanks for the numbers and stay safe

[riczhang]

at least those godawful commercials finally have some postiive impact.

Don't risk it. Stay safe 

[zackzack]

WWZ has a lot of epic, intense action. The scene in Jerusalem is...wow. But the rest of it is kinda ..there. They make a mistake of having a rather bland (although very suspenseful) ending. 

[Leyla]

Kinda interested in that 'Miracle in Cell No. 7' film now

Is it any good bluebomb????

Be careful. I know the storm is going away but all it takes is one strong gust.

I haven't seen it yet but WOM is superb. It's getting rave reviews and is rated higher than Now You See Me and World War Z.

 

 

6 PM: World War Z is going to finish around 61,000 admissions today. Now You See Me is pushing for 27.5-28k.

I haven't seen it yet but WOM is superb. It's getting rave reviews and is rated higher than Now You See Me and World War Z.

thx

I'll def bookmark it & check it out when its available!

Very strong for World War Z. It will be the 2nd highest OW of the year with 2.1-2.2m. Now You See Me also played very well with general audiences. Pretty bad for Hangover 3. Good for American Dreams in China. Extremely good for Miracle in Cell No. 7. After Earth collapsed hard. Fast & Furious 6 dove hard but will get to 3.1m by Wednesday. So Young is not pulling people in. WOM is also lukewarm at best. Badges of Fury is being ignored by audiences but those that have shown up are giving it great WOM. The Great Gatsby is holding OK.

12. Pee Mak Phra Khanong - 679 (-72.9%)
13. Switch - 674 (-86.0%)

Switch and Pee Mak Phra Khanong both decreased from Friday admissions and saw To the Wonder pass by them on Saturday. Pee Mak Phra Khanong's best day was on Thursday and have seen its weekly drops spiral out of control going from -40% on Thursday to -57% on Friday to now -73% on Saturday. It needs to stabilize or it might just miss 10m HK.

Killer admissions for World War Z. Now You See Me did great. Hangover 3 got pushed aside by the top 2. Although #4-#11 were spread out in admissions, in gross it was a lot closer. Less than $20,000 separated all 8 films from each other. Very good hold for American Dreams in China. Exceptional for Miracle in Cell No. 7. After Earth was teared apart by negative reaction and competition. Not good for Badges of Fury.

so 'To the wonder' is doing OK???

It did OK. Made $5,000 PTA from 3 theaters.

 

June 20 Weekend Actuals1. World War Z - $2,207,350 (opening weekend actual)2. Now You See Me - $2,393,0163. The Hangover 3 - $1,496,9244.

Great for Now You See Me. Hangover 3 will pass 1.5m today. American Dreams in China keeps chugging along. Miracle in Cell No. 7/Fast & Furious 6/After Earth are really close in gross this week, less than $1,000 between them, therefore, I have removed their placements. Terrible for Switch. Pee Mak Phra Khanong needs only $15,000 or so for 10m HK. It'll get there.
