Sorry but I havent been to a cinema in 18 months. I watch everything day and date release from my couch. F9 did a pathetic 211 million in China.

The cinema business has finally caught up with the music business. No more records broken. Avatar and Avengers, your records are save.

I'd say anything can happen.

If it's popular there, for some strange reason.

Avatar already caught up with the Avengers record last year when they re-released it in China which makes it the highest-grossing film ever in over a decade.

I don’t see it though sadly.

It should go away.
Who cares how much money a movie makes beyond a basic profit?
The race to have a greater and greater number is what helped make movies suck.
They didn't worry about breaking a record 50 years ago.
I bet if one looks at the BO numbers for movies outside of the top ten from 40-60 years ago you find a lot of movies that made their money back and are still well-regarded by movie fans today.
