Re: HK: The Avengers strongarms Transformers and takes OW re Poor weather, strong reviews and few 2D showtimes also contributed to its record-breaking week.

Re: HK: The Avengers strongarms Transformers and takes OW re Weekend actual: The Avengers - $4,355,049 I have no idea why Deadline reported 4.6m. I hope that the 4.3m actual is wrong.

Same deal as Sunday. The Avengers in 3D is targeting 120,000-130,000 admissions today. Good for 2D Avengers. Nice for Titanic. Battleship recovered nicely. Nice spring upwards for A Simple Life. 5-day estimate for The Avengers: $5,150,000 6-day projection for The Avengers: $6,400,000

Re: HK: The Avengers takes off with 7m 1st week! May 3 Weekend projection
The Avengers is looking at a 2.2m weekend (less than 50% drop). Total should be above 9m in 11 days.

Re: HK: #1 surprise of 2011 revealed; The Avengers 9.1m 11 d Where is the #1 surprise update? I can't seem to find it.
The Avengers' run so far has been but impressive. It is interesting to note that Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America only had average runs in Hong Kong, but their combined forces aka The Avengers practically own everything (except maybe Avatar) in modern day box office.

The Avengers' run so far has been but impressive. It is interesting to note that Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America only had average runs in Hong Kong, but their combined forces aka The Avengers practically own everything (except maybe Avatar) in modern day box office. The update is posted in the link above. You can also go to the front page of KJ and search for my name and it'll show up. The Avengers will do more than 5x the business of Thor/Captain America, more than 4x the business of Iron Man and more than 3x the business of Iron Man 2. Extremely impressive performance. The Avengers has made 12.1m so far in 3 weeks. Men in Black 3 will make somewhere between 1.9-2.2m this weekend. Weekend should see grosses double from Friday or get close to it. I see about a 80% increase on Saturday. If it makes exactly 2m this weekend, MIB 3 will have made 3/4 of MIB 2's total gross. Scheduling news: - The Amazing Spider-Man moves to June 29. No word yet if they will move it up once again to promote/highlight the Asian markets first. - Because of Spider-Man moving, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is delayed by one week and will start showing on July 5. - GI Joe 2 moves to March 29, 2013 to make room for conversion into 3D. - Painted Skin moves to June 22 with GI Joe 2 gone.

Re: HK: Amazing Spider-Man Pre-Sales Report; Out: 6/29 With Prometheus disappointing, the stage is set for Amazing Spider-Man to explode when it drops in HK on June 29. It has been given special treatment with theaters running special arrangements like putting a 6-minute preview of TASM in front of MIB 3.
IMAX: Most peak showtimes are 50% or more in just 3 days of pre-sales. It's safe to say that this will sell out almost the entire weekend.
Regular theaters: Some theaters have showtimes that are already more than half full with 1.5 weeks to go.
It's safe to say that this will make more than 3.5m in 4 days. Since July 1 (Sunday) is a national holiday but part of the weekend, the holiday will fall on July 2 instead meaning that Amazing Spider-Man will definitely challenge Avengers for the 4-day record. It should pull in more than 3m for the 3-day weekend and it might even claim the non-holiday OD record.
TASM will have the weekend to itself, only 1 limited release is coming out on the Thursday of that weekend. The week before will see lots of releases but nothing big. The Avengers' OW suggests that HK has reached its saturation point but TASM will have weaker competition leading into its OW. My prediction right now is 4.4-4.5m in 4 days (Fri-Mon).
I'll be back next week with another report.

Prometheus did great in OW, but word of mouth is mixed.

Re: HK: Amazing Spider-Man Pre-Sales Report; Out: 6/29 I was a little disappointed with Prometheus's OW because it had heavy promotion and not much competition. 2 weeks from MIB 3 should have been good enough to open big and Snow White didn't make much of an impact the week before. I think Battleship had more OW admissions than it which is kind of shocking. Sure, Battleship had robots but Prometheus had 3D, aliens, cool looking spaceships and futuristic setting along with starpower.

Re: HK: Amazing Spider-Man Pre-Sales Report; Out: 6/29 The Amazing Spider-Man will premiere in 48 theaters which means a new theater is opening. It could be the new Airport IMAX but I'm not sure when that will open. Anyways, I am not liking The Amazing Spider-Man's admissions so far. While several theaters are reporting very good pre-sales, other areas especially rural ones have been lagging well behind. Friday night is looking anemic at several theaters. Virtually empty showtimes while pre-sales started more than 1 week ago. The Avengers had a much better start across the board. Weekend is doing much better with more than a 100% jump at some locations. Sunday looks to be the best day so far with Monday not far behind at most places. We could see a mild increase on Saturday combined with a huge spike on Sunday followed by a small drop on Monday.
The last big movie to open with a Monday holiday was Thor last year. Although that opened on the traditional Thursday, admissions saw it move up 66% on Saturday, shot up almost double on Sunday and fell a good 15% on Monday. If The Amazing Spider-Man follows a similar trajectory, it could increase below 50% on Saturday to account for opening day demand, increase more than 100% on Sunday and ease lightly on Monday.
Meanwhile, IMAX is looking good. Showtimes are about 70-80% full.
Motorway might throw a wrench in TASM's plans, however. It's been doing quite well this weekend, amassing more than 30,000 admissions on both Saturday and Sunday. I can't say that it will flame out once Spider Man opens but we could see theaters keep it on another week. Interestingly enough, I went back and looked at the weekends before for Transformers 3 and The Avengers and both weekends saw 3 month lows. It won't be the case with Motorway this week.
For screen counts, it's looking like The Amazing Spider-Man will get 4 screens (including 2D).
With weaker pre-sales, I'm downgrading my prediction to 3.5-4m (4-day) for now.

Re: HK: Amazing Spider-Man Pre-Sales Report; Out: 6/29 There might be a storm that comes to HK this weekend. I don't know how that will affect the admissions as it's still too early to tell where this tropical cyclone will go.

Re: HK: Amazing Spider-Man 6/29; Typhoon this weekend? BREAKING: Ice Age: Continental Drift will have special screenings on July 7 and 8 (Saturday/Sunday) ahead of its July 12 release.
That is very good news for Ice Age. It's a really popular animated franchise in HK so easing the demand by releasing early previews the week before is a great idea. Amazing Spider-Man will not be heavily affected by this development.

How does that compare to The Avengers' opening Thursday schedules?Festival Walk: 20 showtimes for Avengers (3D), 32 showtimes for Amazing Spider-Man (27 in 3D)Palace APM: 27 showtimes for Avengers (24 in 3D), 33 showtimes for Amazing Spider-Man (28 in 3D)Both places Amazing Spider-Man thumped The Avengers in showtimes. That is spectacular. Even though Amazing Spider-Man hasn't matched The Avengers in admissions yet, Sony is going all out with guns blazing. To break it down, The Amazing Spider-Man is getting 4 or 5 screens at all locations that have at least 4 screens. After a good opening weekend, Motorway will be the 1 really lucky survivor this week. First Time is an EDKO movie so it will get Broadway/AMC support. The Dictator is also being kept after its good first 2 weekends.

Re: HK: Amazing Spider-Man 6/29; Typhoon this weekend? Friday continues to be a problem for Amazing Spider-Man. I've been tracking opening day admissions for Spider-Man at 1 theater and it's not even close to what The Avengers started off with. Will have a full update later today.
No change in typhoon forecast track. Still expected to land close to HK on Saturday.

Slow sales for The Amazing Spider-Man. The Avengers had double the pre-sales at this point in time back on its opening Thursday at Palace APM. Part of the reason for the low sales is not because of lukewarm demand but theaters releasing supposed reserved 3D seats to the public. Like with IMAX, theaters generally have a select number of seats that the public can only buy for 3D movies. IMAX theaters block off the first two-three rows of seats for 3D movies because it's harder to sell. Typically, regular theaters will also do the same and allocate fewer number of seats for 3D movies but it did not happen this time. I crunched the numbers and if we add those reserved seats back in along with the 2D admissions, total admissions for The Amazing Spider-Man would be almost neck and neck with The Avengers pre-sales. That's not to say that The Amazing Spider-Man is doing great, however. Opening day pre-sales for The Avengers' numbers were for Thursday while TASM is being supported by the weekend. I don't think it has a chance of getting the non-holiday OD record with those kinds of numbers even with huge walk-ins. Weekend is doing much better though so 4m is still possible. The typhoon will make admissions hard to track this weekend though. A direct hit by a typhoon on Hong Kong is not such a bad idea if it comes on Saturday. Hong Kong people don't care about typhoons and will head out regardless of the bad weather. It happened last time when a tropical storm struck on the Sept. 29 long weekend, paralyzing the city but giving everyone an extra day off. That day turned out to be the biggest day of the weekend. This new typhoon will be something to watch out for if it does land over HK on Saturday as admissions could skyrocket.

Decent for Motorway. Not bad for Prometheus/Dictator either. Weak for The Bounty and The Raven.

Not much change. I expected stronger sales than that. Disappointing.

Very good for Motorway. Bad for The Bounty. Good for The Dictator. Ok for Prometheus. Poor for The Raven.

OK-ish for Amazing Spider-Man. That is really good for Motorway. The Amazing Spider-Man will lead off with 592 showtimes on Friday (does not include showtimes after midnight). If midnight shows after 12 are added in, it will have over 600 showtimes on Friday.

Re: HK: Amazing Spider-Man average so far; typhoon #1 signal So what do you think ASM will open to. It should have better legs if OW is depressed bcos of typhoon.
