how is toy story doing compared with other animations (minus kung fu panda) & alice?

15m total, right?

Yeah, TS3 should pass 100m yuan given the past week was pretty empty with the market getting ready for Aftershock.

It's far below what Alice in Wonderland got ($33m) and didn't do as well as Ice Age 3, but better than How to Train Your Dragon.

A quiet last week, as everybody is shunning away from tomorrow's Aftershock launch.

Knight & Day won the week, while Toy Story 3 passed 100m yuan.

Any projections on Aftershock's opening weekend yet?

My prediction would be 130m yuan ($19m) for the 4 days.

xia,
will inception release in china?

Uncertain yet. Originally the news was it would be released in August, but that has been delayed.

Good performance for Knight & Day.


CJ7 2?! There is a sequel?

Wow that is a good opening number for K&D.

TS3 is showing some legs. Though overall how do you think TS3 is performing there given the 3D boost

Look like Inception will arrive 9/21.

Is that a good release date. Mostly piracy will kill the film's potential by then.

Too good to be true. From what I get, it's a shitty animated remake.

Yeah, I don't expect very good numbers. It reminds me of District 9, where it was released 3 months later after its domestic release, and most of its core audience, young males, had watched it online already. It went on to gross only 13m yuan. Inception will do better than that with the bigger names of Nolan and DiCaprio, but I'd say 50m yuan top.

The Hollywood Reporter's review on Aftershock: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/fil ... 5603.story.

There are conflicting reports on how exactly big the opening day was, with some saying it surpassed Avatar's record of 36m yuan. Look like it got 30m yuan at least. So 120m+ 4-day gross should be in store.

What a blockbuster opening for Aftershock. Well deserved too.

Look like a 160m yuan ($23.7m) 4-day opening.

Wow excellent as expected this is HUGE even if it did not claim the OD record I guess ?

If that number holds, it should have broken the opening day record as well. The WOM is good too, so 500m yuan shouldn't be a problem.

What is the OD record number xia ?

My data says 33.71m yuan by Transformers 2, followed by Avatar's 33m yuan, but now Avatar's number seems to have been revised to 36m yuan.

Even with the revised number it seems that it would have crushed to OD record then by at the most 4m yuan

How good is the movie itself, Xia?

Haven't seen it yet, but the feedback has generally been good. A lot of red eyes afterward.

Thanks for this report...couple of interesting things about this one I just read: it's the first non-American film done in IMAX and the movie takes tie-in advertising to a whole new level:
