Opening Day Screenings distribution

Pegasus 3 reamins firlmly in the lead screenings wise. It already has more screenings than any movie had in the last 2 years on the first day.

Silent Awakenings also already has more screenings than any movie last year. The shorter run time of this years movies really making a difference here.

Blades of The Guardians remains firmly 3rd.

Boonie Bears remains somewhere in the middle while Panda Plan 2 and Per Aspera Ad Astra continue to lag behind at the back.

After today there's already been over 520k screenings scheduled for the 17th. This is now already more than the 506k on the 1st day of the Spring Festival last year and flat with the 1st day in 2024. And there's still 2 days to go where there could be another 20-50k added. It will without a doubt be a record breaking day with the most screenings ever scheduled on a single day.

Zootopia 2 pushes to 190 screenings and actually has 83 tickets sold for the day. Its up to 287 screenings on the 18th with 93 tickets sold so far.

Avatar 3 gains 5 screenings but is still prety much non existent on the 17th with just 6 tickets sold. It does however have 44 on the 18th with 44 tickets sold.

Opening Day Pre-Sales vs some movies from the past years:

Pegasus 3 massively distances itself from Pegasus 2. In fact today it had a better day than Ne Zha 2 had on its comparable day.

This strong day also helps it keep a distance from Full River Red as well.

Other stuff:

The next Holywood release is La La Land re-release on Valentines Day. Followed by The Bride, Wuthering Heights and GOAT in March.

---

Release Schedule:

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.

Spring Festival 2026 Lineup:

6 movies will enter the ring this year.

Pegasus 3 will be heading into the Spring Festival as the headline movie and the big favorite. The sequel to Pegasus 2 which made $400M+ in the Spring Festival 2 years ago with returning director Han Han and returning lead Shen Teng will look to repeat if not improve on the success of the 2nd part.

Director Zhang Yimou returns to the Holiday season after his successful Article 20($340M) in 2024 and Full River Red($670M+) in 2023 with Silent Awakening. A National Security-Themed movie. While unlikely to challenge for the victory this movie has a decent shot at taking 2nd place.

The Boonie Bears franchise as has been the case for the last 12 years returns to the Spring Festival with Boonie Bears: The Hidden Protector. The new entry in the $1B+ franchise will look to improve on last years $118M and push the franchise back closer if not over the $200M mark it surpassed in 2024 and 2023.

Blades of the Guardians starring Wu Jing and Jet Li meanwhile will try to revive the popularity of the martial arts genre and aim to improve upon the result and especialy reception of last years Condor Heroes which failed to break $100M. This and Boonie Bears will in all likelyhood fight for 3rd place.

Per Aspera Ad Astra as the only Sci-Fi blockbuster will try to make itself stand out with cool visuals and a unique theme. However its very likely this ends up being the cannon fodder of the lineup.

And lastly Panda Plan 2 or as its officialy called Panda Plan: The Magical Tribe. I don't see this doing partiuraly well either but it could tempt in some families.
