Already collected $36.83 million after the first 2 days in China. Looks like it will surpass my initial expectations that I made from yesterday.

I'm all Lion King'd out at this point. Seen the original sooo many times. Sat through the play a couple of times. It has just drained me. Nothing left about this story to excite me. The story is built on emotion and I don't have any more empathy for the characters.
And I know it's going to be a spectacular movie -- because they REALLY want this movie to be. But the family can expect to see this one without me. And I have a feeling that this will be the case for a few other 'live action Disney lazy remakes' in the near future.
It's a weird world when it's exciting that a movie makes $36.83 million in a country with 1.4 billion people living in it.Justin2010 said:Olsen said:

It seems like numbers from China are more about momentum than profit for a studio. I've always heard the Chinese government takes the vast majority of money made from movies in China.

Pretty much would take all those down by at least $100M.
Revised:
$500M: 85%
$600M: 50%
$700M: 30%
$800M: 15%
If I had to make a single prediction for domestic BO, right now, I'd go with $525M.

I don't disagree. This is one of those movies that feels like it came out weeks ago, but somehow hasn't released yet. I already have fatigue.
For a guy like me who is married/kids in the target audience, the fatigue is financial too. We've got a great sit-down eat-a-meal movie theater just a couple of miles away from home, but it's a big deal for us to go there, certainly not more than once per month and usually as a reward for good behavior.TCTTS said:

Was watching an episode of Chef Show last night, and it hit me how amazing Favreau's career is going right now. He's basically THE man at Disney at the moment.
To go from directing Iron Man (and being the man most directly responsible for starting the MCU) to The Jungle Book, to The Lion King, to The Mandalorian (which looks amazing, btw), it's kind of insane.

Seems to be a lot of hardcore Disney fans on here.
Do you guys work for the company or have little kids?
I go see the movies for nostalgia purposes, but I don't bother to track how they do financially or all that stuff.
