The Eight Hundred Drives IMAX’s Top Box Office Day of 2020 in China on Tuesday; Love You Forever Bows to $38M Opening in Middle Kingdom

IMAX reports that the continued success of Huayi Brothers’ The Eight Hundred in China resulted in the company’s top performing box office day of the year in the country, posting $2.7 million from 647 screens on Tuesday. That figure accounted for 10 percent of the day’s nationwide gross on the film, $27 million.

To date, The Eight Hundred has earned $11 million from IMAX venues in China, representing 6.6 percent of the film’s $163 million total through Tuesday’s close of business.

Meanwhile, China’s Valentine’s Day holiday helped fuel more strong results on Tuesday with the release of Love You Forever. The local title claimed first place with $38 million on opening day, providing another strong example of the demand for returning to theaters in China. As IMAX notes, this demonstrates demand is “not tied to a single blockbuster.”

As The Eight Hundred continues to march on with its strong run, all eyes will now shift toward Tenet‘s international release beginning today (August 26). The Christopher Nolan film is expected to provide the first worldwide, tentpole-level boost to exhibition since reopening over the course of summer. IMAX, in particular, is projected to benefit strongly from the film’s release having been shot entirely with their cameras.

China will see Tenet release on September 4.

It’s been — and still is — a wild week for the United States and the entire world as the results of the presidential election remain unknown and the pandemic continues with consistent daily records of new cases. For those seeking some semblance of escapism in a safe and politics-free environment, however, this weekend will provide the latest new release hoping to provide theaters and audiences with fresh content: Let Him Go .

Weekend Forecast: Solstice Studios’ Unhinged and Nolan’s Inception 10th Anniversary Event Set to Welcome Moviegoers Back to Domestic Theaters

To quote Lennon and McCarthy, it’s been a long and winding road. As of this weekend, though, major theater chains across the United States will finally be back up and running with the domestic market’s first wide release since March. Following months of speculation and delayed reopening plans, Solstice Studios’ Unhinged is the film setting the stage for more to come in the weeks and months ahead. It’s a watershed moment oft-planned by the startup distributor throughout the summer as spikes of the COVID-19 pandemic across the country resulted in multiple studio and exhibitor delays, but one that will finally come to pass — and one with significant meaning for exhibitor support. Solstice is releasing the film in 44 states, representing 70 percent of physical theaters. The total theater count is estimated at 2,000, with the expectation of adding between 200 and 300 locations on August 28 when another wave of theaters from major theaters plan to resume operations. Overseas markets have se...
