Synopsis

Xu Nuo and Yan Xi are an enviable couple. As the lead singer of the well-known ‘Gardenia Band’ on campus, Xu works hard with his fellow bandmates in hopes of becoming a professional musician. And Yan Xi and three of her friends look to fulfill their dreams of becoming dancers. However, when each of their respective dreams are close, they end up finding numerous obstacles putting their relationship to the test. When Yan is on the edge of collapsing, Xu becomes her support. In order to reignite Yan’s hope, Xu and his bandmates decide to prepare an unexpected surprise for her. However, these impulsive young men find out that they may have paid too much for the “surprise”.

International Box Office: Minions Crowd Out the Competition

July 15th, 2015

Minions

Matching its stellar domestic debut, Minions rose to first place with $130.7 million on 9,606 screens in 56 markets at the international box office at the weekend for totals of $287.77 million internationally and $403.49 million worldwide. The film debuted in 30 new markets, earned first place in all of them, and broke the record for the biggest animated opening in 28 of them. This includes Russia, where it earned $15.12 million on 1,209 screens, which is the biggest opening in that market, animated or otherwise. Its biggest opening was in Mexico, where the film earned $15.72 million on 692 screens over the weekend. Meanwhile, it earned first place in France with a total opening of $12 million on 868 screens. It remains above Despicable Me 2's pace and this puts it on track to reach $1 billion worldwide. More...

Per Theater Chart: Tangerine Has Sweet Start

July 14th, 2015

Tangerine

The $10,000 club was busier that it was last week with four films earning a per theater average of more than $10,000. This includes the overall number one film, Minions, which earned an average of $26,905 in over 4,000 theaters. The best limited release was Tangerine with an average $15,171 in four theaters. I thought this might be a little too niche to find a large audience, but perhaps I was wrong. Up next is Baahubali: The Beginning, which was also a surprise hit with an average of $13,559 in 236 theaters. It is very rare for a Bollywood film to do that well. The final film in the $10,000 club was Do I Sound Gay? with $11,000 in its lone theater. More...
