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.

Watch project Hail Mary’s 3rd weekend beat Mario OW lol
Is Mario historically not relevant in china? Damn I didn’t expect it to open this poor
Those Project Hail Mary final predictions keep going up! Great to see, and should now make more than a third of the Martian’s gross, which is great for Hollywood films in China now.
