>>3 IDIOTS collected $74K[36Lakh] in HONG KONG in 1st 4 days [Its running at 12+ crore now in HK , so imagine whr ll Mainland China collections go with 6 crore  in 1st 4 days]

http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&country=HK&id=3idiots.htm

>>Its limited screening till now,It will release in all parts of Mainland China from 2nd week ,i.e. from 12th , 2nd week is going to be  huge.

>>Even with 4 days screening Its at No.7 in China for last week,would hv been at No.2 or 3 if released on 5th Dec.

    Record holder for single overseas territory is 3 IDIOTS at US = $6.5M[30 crore]

    Even there 3 IDIOTS collected $1.67M in 1st 4 days

    http://boxofficemojo.com/movie.....idiots.htm

    In mainland China with limited screening for first four days its close to US collections[for 1st 4 days]

    3 IDIOTS has much more sustaining potential[evident from Honk Kong trending] in Chinese market than US ,so overall collections will be much more.

    Why are they not releasing MNIK in China? It seems to be a good market for Bwood.

    NyKavi, MNIK was already released a year back in China. I don’t think it did much of note

    @NyKavi – MNIK flopped in china.

    LOL Prateek LOL. China in total has ~6500 screens and you are expecting a 8000 screen release

    “China’s box office takings totalled $1.6bn (£1bn) last year, up 62% from 2009. And with only 6,300 cinema screens compared with 40,000 in the US, potential for future growth is huge.”

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobi.....a-15691218

    It is expected to double in next 4 years, but still. Also, there are many movies running, so it is impossible for one movie to take all screen space.

    At least check your facts before commenting.

    The number of screenings is ~6% of the top 10 movies for this week. So my guess is the release is for ~400 screens.

    Not enough Khans there to lap up this stuff. Plus, they do have a semblance of a taste.

    also bear in mind there are on an average 7 films releasing every week in China, so a release of 900 screens is average release size there for local movies. For foreign films, especially non hollywood, 900 screens would be considered a huge release

    My Approximation, 3 Idiots opened at around 820 Prints in China.

    Numbers are ok, but lets see how they sustain next week.

    @doga -I also feel d collections are avg :-) I don’t think it ll sustain mch as der are big movies releasing in d next week :-( I feel it ll do max 30-35cr in China :-) For overall figures it seems gud but gnu by 900 prints it’s a disappointment I feel :-) for 900 prints it must do a min of 70-80cr :-) BTW hw mch do you expect from China ???
