    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.

      So less than 350k tickets sold in whole China for all theatre movies on Monday in country with 91 thousand screens. So basically less than 4 tickets sold per screen.

      That seems dire.
