China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

Nice, Five Armies keeping good numbers. Be over $100m Wednesday. It's Monday actuals rose from estimates to 18.1m also. Gap closing between daily grosses of Running Man and BOTFA. This weekend be big test.

BOTFA gain Mon-Tue Running Man decrease I like it so much!

Five Armies going to lose a lot of screens this weekend? Or does it good performance on fewer screens give it a chance to keep hold of screens?

The Hobbit 3 is Hollywood blockbuster Vs

Running Man just a reality TV show, 5M yuan budget, 6 days shooting & rating 3.2/10 on Douban. Taking $45m in 5 days is amazing for it.

January total box office crossed 2.6B yuan / $419m, increasing 36%+ in RMB from the same month of 2014 (1.914B yuan).

Somewhere Only We Know (2.10), Xu Jinglei's big screen comeback in nearly four years, looks to be a rom-com smash. Tickets are being sold crazily in adavance. The flick might be the first local title of 2015 to pull 100m+ single day on Valentine's Day—its 5th day in release.

With SOWK and those Chinese New Year tentpoles, Febuary looks to be an epic month.

March and April seems strong, too, with Jupiter Ascending, Cinderella, Taken 3, Furious 7, Lost and Love, Let's Get Married, etc.

Wuzhou's Let's Get Married has just been moved up to Apr 2th, meaning Furious 7 will be delayed for a week ? We will see.

Of course Disney should try to release TA2 in April although that doesn't mean they have a great chance.

With Ever Since We Love (Apr 24, 400m), The Left Ear (Apr 30, 300m) and The Crossing II (Apr 30, 200m), the May holiday line-up is actually very weak. Film Bureau should be prepared for another declined Golden May Day if they are sure to push TA2 until the holiday is over. (Well, they probably dont care at all .... )

May and June will be big, with TA2, JW and Tomorrowland, nevertheless.

This summer—June, July and August's local language line-up looks to be even stronger than last year:

Tiny Times 4 > Tiny Times 3

Death Duel > The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom

The House That Never Dies 2 > The House That Never Dies

Hollywood Adventures > The Continent

何以笙箫默 (whatever the English is ...) > Breakup Guru

And then 2015 still has Helios, Design for Living and others.

Problem is Summer's Hollywood line-up is weak, compared to last year, which had TF4. Especially if Film Bureau want MI5 to save September or October. So Summer total gross may not increase too much.

That's why I really don't understand China market but still it's collecting money like Transformers 4 with shitty raiting. You said amazing, so I'm happy that Running Man is slowing down BOTFA deserves at least 130M$
