Other stuff:
The next Holywood release is Mario on April 3rd followed by Devil Wears Prada 2 on the 30th.
Super Mario Opening Day Pre-Sales
I do have to continue to note that against Mario and Minecraft the comparison is skewed because the opening day was the Holiday itself while for Galaxy the Holiday is the Monday at tail end of the weekend.
The fact that it slipped behind Hoppers is a bit concerning though but were far enough away that there should be no reason to panic yet.
Full 4 day weekend pre-sales hit $174k

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.
