Other stuff:
The next Holywood movie to release will be Joker 2 on October 16th followed by Venom 3 on October 23rd.
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.
Opening Day Pre-sales
749 Bureau explodes more than doubling its pre-sales on the last day. Projections shoot up both for tomorrow and its total.
The Volunteers 2 manages to overtake Tiger Wolf Rabbit on the last day.
