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 hits $1.78M in pre-sales and will aim to clear $2M tomorrow. 749 remains in pursuit. The Volunteers 2 joins the $1M+ gang.
