No TDKR in China, what a shame..When you see HK numbers you see the potential there

When it comes to Batman, HK is the one of the few Asian territories that performs like Europe. Edited July 27, 2012 by Bluebomb

When it comes to Batman, HK is the one of the few Asian territories that performs like Europe.

But we know China digs it too based on the rampant bootlegging for TDK. Supposedly one of the most popular bootlegs ever there.

I've heard some news that local distributors are struggling for TDKR's release in China.

[keysersoze123]

I am sure it will release. its too big to be set aside. WB will ensure it for sure. I think this has 100M+ potential in china.

If a release happens after all, 100M more is asured.

If a release happens after all, 100M more is asured.

In the meantime, send more mainland people down HK's way. Maybe TDKR can beat The Avengers if it gets more tourist groups to watch it.

Huge bump for TDKR. In fact, it was the only film of the top 5 to increase on Friday. Still good for Step Up Revolution. Ice Age 4 passed 4m today. Doraemon is on track to pass the last 2 OWs in the franchise. Ouch for The Pirates! Band of Misfits.

So what kind of second weekend drop is it looking to have?

So what kind of second weekend drop is it looking to have?

Looking at a 40% drop and a $2m 2nd weekend.

[Olive]

many mainland people come to HK to see it, which should help a lot.

TDKR needs more Mainland people to beat The Avengers.

[redfirebird2008]

Looking at a 40% drop and a $2m 2nd weekend.

How does that compare with TDK?

[RTX]

40% is actually lowbolling it. TDKR could drop less than 35%

[A Marvel Fanboy]

That is a great hold.Blockbusters tend to drop 50~60%.

[RTX]

TDK fell 31% in its second weekend, and 50% in its 3rd weekend. It got trampled by Mummy 3.

[Bluebomb]

How does that compare with TDK?

It's done better in OW and 2nd weekend so far. It will easily pass TDK's total by next weekend.It's an excellent hold by big OW standards. Its run so far is reminding me of Toy Story 3 albeit TS3 will have a better 2nd weekend hold than TDKR.

40% is actually lowbolling it. TDKR could drop less than 35%

We will see. Ice Age 4 got massively upgraded this weekend, partially at TDKR's expense. Whereas TDKR gained more showtimes last weekend, it will stay stagnant this weekend.

TDK fell 31% in its second weekend, and 50% in its 3rd weekend. It got trampled by Mummy 3.

I expect much harder falls for TDKR next weekend and the weekend after that.

Great for TDKR. Decent for Step Up Revolution. Huge bumps for Ice Age 4 and Doraemon. Vulgaria cracks the top 5 with only 7 showings -- most of them after midnight.

5	The Pirates! Band of Misfits	$70,000		$70,000

Very good weekend for TDKR. It would rank as the 4th biggest 2nd weekend of all time (behind Avatar, Toy Story 3, The Avengers). It'll pass TDK by either Wednesday or Thursday should numbers stay there or go higher. Excellent start for Step Up Revolution. Here's how it's been tracking against Step Up 3D so far.

 

	Step Up 3D	Step Up Revolution
Thursday	21022	20484
Friday	20196	19327
Saturday	25622	26059
Sunday
Total	66840	65870

Step Up 3D has a slight lead in admissions but ticket prices are more expensive nowadays. It's funny that Step Up 3D had less competition than Revolution but it could have the lower OW of the two. Fantastic hold for Ice Age 4 considering 3 animation films came out all in the same week. It passes IA3 this weekend. Good start for Doraemon. Actuals will tell us if this beats the 2010 Doraemon film's OW. The Pirates sunk. It would have done better had Sony released it in April or May when there were no animation releases flying around.

 

	Sunday adm.	(so far)			July 29

1	The Dark Knight Rises	57,684	37,558	-34.9%	+0.8%

4	Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles: Animal Adventure	--	5,177	--	+29.2%
5	The Pirates! Band of Misfits	--	1,702	--	--

Still very good for TDKR. Excellent bump for Ice Age 4. It has a shot at beating Step Up Revolution in admissions today. Solid for Doraemon. Pitiful for The Pirates!

TDKR had a weaker than expected Sunday but Doraemon/Pirates! performed well.
