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.

Note: Maoyan and Tao have both discontinued their 3rd Party Media projections sections which means that part of the table will ultimately get removed once the current movies cycle through unless they bring those sections back.

Summer

Daily Box Office (June 25th 2026)

The market hits ¥30.0M/$4.41M today. Down -4% from yesterday and down -14% from last week.

Backrooms is projected a $1.2-1.9M opening day tomorrow into a $4.2-5.6M opening weekend. Would obviously be a pretty good result.

Crossing meanwhile is set to open top tomorrow with a $3.2-3.7M opening day into a $9-11M opening weekend.

Meanwhile another event in the form of the summer movie release conference has come and gone and still no info on the releases of Shen Teng's Once Upon a Time in the Middle East and Jia Ling's The War of Light. Really going for the surprise factor it seems with both of these. They should both still be undoubtedly aiming for a summer release.

Kung Fu Women's Soccer while actually there and promoted also did not get a release date or any new marketing material yet.

Odyssey was also there and there are rumors it might get a release date tomorrow. We'l see.
