###Dear You

Dear You grossed ¥54.1M/$7.95M today. Expectedly drops from the boosted day yesterday. However more importantly Thursday is up from Tuesday, Monday and even last Friday.

4th weekend projections rise to ¥304-350M/$44-52M(+17%). Which almost unbelievably would be the 2nd best 4th weekend of all time. Behind Ne Zha 2(¥1.10B) and ahead of Ne Zha(¥290M). And as a fun tidbit if it actually reaches that high end and does $51M+ it would also beat out the 4th weekend record in North America currently held by Avatar 1($50.3M)

It really is just a fairy tale run. This movie has a $2M budget for crying out loud and stars pretty much a cast of newcomes. Its also almost exclusively in a specific region dialect.

In China Mortal Kombat II opens in 4th with just $0.35M on Friday. Projected a $1.5M-ish opening weekend. Vanishing Point leads with $1.88M(-73%)/$44.78M. Dear You in 2nd adds a fantastic $1.19M(+22%)/$12.13M. Douban score rises from 9 to an insane 9.1 and total projections skyrocket to ¥300M/$44M+

#Daily Box Office (May 8th 2026)

The market hits ¥35.0M/$5.01M. Up +3% from yesterday and down -78% from last week.

Mortal Kombat II opens with a rather unspectacular $0.35M. Weekend projections drop to just $1.4-1.5M. Total projections drop to $4-5M

Dear You goes from strenght to strenght with another +14% today compared to yesterday and an insane +22% from last weeks Labor Day. Again the only movie in the top 10 to increase. Douban score rises from an already insane 9.0 to 9.1. 2nd weekend now projected at ¥50M-58M/$7.3M-8.5M and the movie has a good chance to be on top on Sunday. Total projections climb to over ¥300M+/$44M+.

The performance is even more impressive when you consider the movie is primarly in the Teochew dialect that is only really used in 1 region.

#Daily Box Office (May 6th 2026)

The market hits ¥38.7M/$5.68M. Down -61% from yesterday and up +118% from last week.

Mortal Kombat II opening day pre-sales hit $60k for Friday. Projected a $0.35-0.51M opening day into what should be a $1.5M-ish opening weekend. With Saturday being a work day the odds are stacked against it from the start. Lets see if it can make an impression and do better than projected.

Dear You drops just -26% from yesterday. The only sub -50% drop in the top 10 showcasing the 9.7 scores on Maoyan and Tao aswell as the impressive 9.0 on Douban doing work. Total projections rise to ¥200M/$30M

One thing to note is that were less than a month from Childrens day on June 1st and there's not really been any movies announced for the date yet. Especialy Animated movies. Doraemon used to be a staple for this day but with the temporary ban on Japanese imports it remains to be seen what animated movie will fill that gap.

#Daily Box Office (April 29th 2026)

The market hits ¥17.4M/$2.54M. Up +13% from yesterday and up +31% from last week.

Wang Changtian the chairman of Enlight Media gave some slight updates on some of the companies long term projects. Big Fish & Begonia 2 remains on a tentative 2028 date. A question about Ne Zha 3 and Monkey King 2 was answered with a PR "we have many long term projects in development and announcements will be made once they are done and release dates are rdy to be confirmed". So essentialy neither is really anywhere near completion. Not that there was much doubt. Monkey King 2 is likely 2028 at the earlist while Ne Zha 3 is a year if not 2 after that and closer to 2030.

On the live action long term from. Zhang Yimous Three-Body Problem movie is still in the script writting and pre-production stage.

As for more soon to be stuff. Supergirl has been confirmed for release in China. Jaws will be releasing on May 15th while Cristopher Nolan's Memento will be releasing on May 29th and will have IMAX screenings.

#Release Schedule:

A table including upcoming movies in the next month alongside trailers linked in the name of the movie, Want To See data from both Maoyan and Taopiaopiao alongside the Gender split and genre.

Remember Want To See is not pre-sales. Its just an anticipation metric. A checkbox of sorts saying your interested in an upcoming movie.

Not all movies are included since a lot are just too small to be worth covering.
