I think M:I RN has a chance to grow decently domestically compared to Ghost Protocol.

How many big films does M:I have to compete with in China when the blackout is over? Ant Man, what else? Anyways, we will see. But it is deffinitely not impossible.

Terminator opens in Aug 23 then M:I on September 8, then it will have to compete with both Minions and PIxels just 5 days after that. Inside Out, Fantastic Four and Ant-man will also be released but no dates have been finalized yet but I'm guessing it's also going to be September for at least two of those as I assume more big movies will be releasing in the upcoming months.

Terminator won't hurt M:I much, especially not when it's launching two weeks before. Pixels won't hurt M:I much either, and Minions targets a completely different audience, as does Inside Out. Marvel won't release both Fant4stic and Ant-Man close, so the only thing that will hurt M:I notably is Ant-Man, and to a lesser degree Terminator, and to an even lesser degree, Pixels. I still think it can be up in China about 50 million, compared to the last entry's 100. Then it needs to be up 250 million in the rest of the world to gross a billion. It'll be difficult, but it has a shot.
