Daily Box Office (September 25th 2024)
The market hits 19.1M/$2.7M which is down -7% from yesterday and down -43% versus last week.
Transformers: One hits $184k in pre-sales for Friday. Still projected an opening day of $2.2M. The nature of the weekend(Work Sunday) makes this hard to predict. Especialy as an animation. In a normal weekend $10M from an opening like that would be possible. Generaly though Saturday should suffer a bit and Sunday should be somewhat down to what it regulary could be so there's a good chance it misses $10M but maybe gets there with the pre-screenings included.

Other stuff:
The next Holywood movie to release will be Transformers One on September 27th.
National Day(October 1st)
With National Day rapidly approaching on October 1st it will kickstart a week long Holiday period and arguably the 3rd most lucrative period for Cinema after the Spring Festival and The Summer season.
10 movies will enter the ring. 11 if you count Transformers: One which releases a few days earlier on the 27th.
There's a bit of everything here. Action, Sci-Fi, Drama, War, Comedy, Musical. And while its not the most heavy hitter filled schedule it should still somewhat revive the market thats currently on the floor.
Alongside most of the movies also released new trailers. Among them 749 which released its first actual trailer today. 6 days before its release.
Opening Day Pre-sales
Tiger Wolf Rabbit and 749 both cross $1M in Pre-sales for the National Day. The Volunteers will get there tomorrow.

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.
