It is the smallest day of the opening weekend. Saturday and Sunday are bigger, so it will probably make $50m+ opening. Nope. Didn't even reach $45m. lol. But its Chinese gross will look big compared to its US gross.

Re: China Box Office
That's harsh. But then again it was too "dark" and "hard on their eyes" people were "falling from the steps while seating because they couldn't see anything on screen"

Re: China Box Office
Now, Pacific Rim: Uprising is out here on 23rd. If that bombs, something is happening to the Chinese market. Big IF. I don't think it will bomb. I think they'll eat it up. But IF it bombs, it makes this market very interesting again.
I think the mass spectacle and huge robots will outweigh the fact that there's no star power and it has a black lead. Plus, I think it being set in daylight is a good move for this sequel. First movie was way too dark. Anyway, it should at least double the US gross.

Re: China Box Office
Yeah it will be interesting to see how Uprising fares in China. This market is reason we are getting a sequel.

Re: China Box Office
Surprising didn't think it will get a release in China with Netflix release.

Re: China Box Office
- Pacific Rim: Uprising grossed $22m on opening day. More or less the same as the US's entire opening weekend projection.
- Bland Panther is up to $105m, and won't stand a chance at beating other MCU entries like Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-Man: Homecoming. Told you that opening wasn't impressive enough.
- Tomb Raider is up to $60m and will not hit $100m. A $40m opening just isn't enough in China.
- Operation Red Sea is the big winner out of the trio of Chinese New Year releases. It now has $562m.

I mean I understand that but I just thought studios in this case won't see any reason to go through the hassles of releasing it, its not going to make much in the market.

Re: China Box Office
That's much bigger OD that TR but it was expected of PRU. With a similar OD to weekend multiplier as that of TR it gets $73m OW so it should be able to hit $130m in the market which is good and a slight increase from the original.

Re: China Box Office
Just speculation here, but if Wolf Warriors 3 stars Stallone you can expect the first single market $1 billion grossing movie. Wu Jing and Stallone met yesterday.

Re: China Box Office
RPO seems to be getting good reviews here in in China and my Friday evening showings were pretty much full, expect a +100m gross at least, and I think I'm low balling.

Re: China Box Office
Given that Chinese tend to like video-game style movies RPO should do well.

Re: China Box Office
Hmm. I was thinking $80m+ would have been a safe bet in the market to get past $200m mark.

Re: China Box Office
Ok yeah the WoM seems to be good based on the ratings. Are there any more openers that the movie has to compete with?
