Upgrade to the latest…: Chinese moviegoers opened the Year of the Ox with the colossal three-day debut of Detective Chinatown 3 raising an estimated value of RMB 2.56 B ($ 397M) That at most Avengers: Endgame2019 in China five days of RMB 2.22 billion to make DC3 not only the biggest debut in China’s history, but also giving it the right to boast the biggest opening weekend in a single market – surpassing EndgameNorth American launch of $ 357 million in April 2019.

DC3 also established new IMAX records. From Wanda Pictures, the friend comedy directed by Chen Sicheng was fully filmed with IMAX certified cameras and grossed RMB 152 million ($ 23.5 million) in China format in this session, making it the best IMAX opening weekend for a Chinese film. It is also the largest FSS admission race for IMAX in China, with 2.1 million tickets sold against Endgame1.94M.

DC3 on Friday it had already set a new gross revenue record on the opening day in a single market, as well as a new IMAX benchmark. He then moved on over the weekend, although his social and critical scores faltered, dropping to 5.8 in Douban and 8.7 in Maoyan (the latter after an initial Friday at 9.4). Maoyan is now forecasting a 4.84 billion RMB ($ 750 million) finish. In pursuit, and having its own share of glory this weekend, is coming Hi Mom, a time travel comedy that picked up speed across the board, leading to an estimated RMB 1.03 billion ($ 160 million) after seeing daily increases. It has an audience score of 9.5 and 8.3 for critics, with Maoyan projecting RMB 4.52 billion ($ 700 million). The film is currently in the lead on Monday, local time.

Since the reopening of cinemas in July last year, there have been a number of significant local performances that have helped push the Middle Kingdom to become the number one box office market in the world in 2020.

In total this weekend, the Chinese box office on all titles was estimated at RMB 4.48 billion ($ 694 million), or 32% of North America’s total in 2020 and 6% of the global total box office in 2020 Although it is unclear when Hollywood can again expect these figures for studio films. It is a good sign that going to the cinema thrives when the public feels safe and new products are available. The executives we spoke to in Los Angeles today are seeing China’s numbers as a good omen. IE: China has reduced capacity restrictions for the New Year period in some markets and even made those numbers crazy, and the current share is a promising indicator for Hollywood films that have resonance in the market; I think: Black Widow, Fast 9, Mission: 7 Impossible, but also in the rest of the world
