Other stuff:

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.
However the pace has not exactly been setting the world on fire here. We will get our first opening day projections tomorrow.
Full 4 day weekend pre-sales hit $260k

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.

didn’t expect Mario to underperform so much.
I thought China loved cute talking animals.
Hail Mary possibly beating Mario in China I didn’t expect
Hopefully Mario can make more than the last one
