Bosco685 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 By the way, Box Office Mojo's China box office numbers are behind on #Aquaman, #IntoTheSpiderVerse and with #Venom after the Chinese holiday it should see a refresh as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The splits to the studios I'm using are all known industry templates and the figures I used are all directly from box office mojo. But thank you. -J. What is "flawed" is the fact you are not including anything up front for product placement and the % of production costs that were covered by investors, not WB. Without that, your numbers are incorrect and therefore flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you are assuming and speculating beyond what exists within the public domain. (And by the way, much of the time "product placement" does not involve the exchange of money, but rather a mutual exchange of "media value"- ie, we will flash a Sprite billboard in our movie, if you feature our main character on your soda cans). -J.

Bosco685 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Could anyone have comfortably predicted both #Aquaman and #Venom would dominate the China box office? Or that the former would outdo the latter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they also argue the PS vs Xbox and Android vs Apple topics. Just enjoy what you enjoy and let others do the same and argue for a cause worth your time. Not aimed at anyone.

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Has anyone factored in the revenue from WB's trailer views on YouTube..? Aquaman is a great movie. Better than that turd in the wind Venom flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
