You don't think it will gross more than Jurassic World and Furious 7?

How did Jurassic Park and previous FF entries do in China and how did they stand up to the prequels' perfromances?

Does anyone have a link to the numbers, so I can do a comparative analysis?

You're misjudging the Chinese audience... they usually go crazy for brainless blockbusters such as Transformers and the likes. The Force Awakens is not really their cup of tea.

Age of Ultron did $240M and that should be its target.

Wow. Just a 5% drop. International had an uptick as well it seems. The original run of Titanic in the US has already been matched, Avengers will probably be met tomorrow and Jurassic World the day after. It's domestic run is completely insane. Still a week before the Chinese release, really interested to see how that goes.


Everything about TFA's box office run is just nuts. I just hope it takes off in China, perhaps $500M ? :p

$300m

Unless there are some restrictions on it (number of theaters it can play in and how long it can run) it should easily do over $300 million in China we will know for sure in a couple of weeks.
