[*]China box office saw new height in 2009, delivering three 400m yuan grossers, and 2010 looks to start out with a bang due to the release of Avatar. I'll have the full details on 2009 performances some time later, but figure I'll start a separate thread given its rapid growth and the additional resources I have now to post more detailed information. I'd not be surprised to see a couple of movies making 500m yuan this year. |

First on Avatar, even with the big snowstorm over the weekend, Beijing is looking very good the first day. 41 theaters, 39 of which had midnight shows, are giving it 1,551 total showings for the opening day (over 60% of the total # of showings); that's almost 38 showings per theater, amazing. And the midnight showings were averaging over 80% full, 3am showings averaging 60% full, with both IMAX theaters selling out their shows for the entire week. |

I read from a Hong Kong newspaper that the cinemas in China are giving most of the nighttime showings to Avatar while local films are getting only daytime showings. Also, Avatar is the only foreign release (or at least the only Hollywood release) playing in China at the moment. |

I'm curious to know how Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf performed. I read a sequel was going to be released really soon as well, so I'd assume it did well (or maybe they were made at the same time or something). |

It's not surprising when you consider B&A was released a week after Noodle Story and is performing better overall. |

It grossed 76m yuan, or $11.1m, which was definitely a positive surprise. |

Heard the first concrete report on Avatar's midnight performance: in Guangdong (Canton) province, it surpassed both Transformers 2 and 2012 to break the record, in terms of both the gross and the admissions. |

That's huge! Guangdong is the richest province, isn't it? So we can expect the film to do at least as well in relation to recent blockbusters in China as it has done in other territories. |

How are the prices for 3D tickets in China, and how's the availability of digital 3D screens? That could push Avatar well beyond Transformers 2 and 2012 if it's already set to perform on a higher level admissions wise... |

But still, in Beijing, Zhang Yi Mou is BIG, much bigger than the Hong Kong actors in Assassins. |

From what I read from a Hong Kong blogger, ticket price for the 3D version is 25% higher than that for the 2D version (80 Yuan vs. 60 Yuan). |

Yes，the unit in China is Wan(in pinyin),means ten thousands. And ￥6.83 =$1 now. |

I'm waiting for the first number on the opening day performance. If it breaks 30m yuan ($4.4m), then I could see $100m total. |

All the reports from the big cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu) are indicating a humongous opening day. People were lining up 7am in the morning and could only buy a 10pm ticket due to all the sellouts. I'd not be surprised by a 40m yuan (~$6m) day. |
