European and Asian Covenant

Murica disappoints again! lol

Indeed shows the China Market has vastly helped Alien Covenant, and you have to say without it it could be  major concern.

Japan has yet to have its own, and i think FOX have Royally F-Bombed this..

Japanese are very into Horror and Sci-Fi and i would have expected similar return to the UK Box Office.. I just worry that the Delay to the Japan Market who i think should have been one of the First Few to had seen it... Japan should definitely be a Top 5 Release Schedule for Sci-Fi/Horror Flicks.

And so i do think the delay will effect the Japanese Box Office, i feel if they released it in Japan in May, then i would assume the Box Office Ptential could be at least 50% more than it may get now.

As since then, we have had Negative Reviews, Spoilers, The Novelization and even Illegal places to obtain the Movie and i think these would affect the Box Office.

By that i would safely Assume if the UK Release was also as delayed as the Japanese one, but USA was still May 19th i feel a Combination of the above would mean the UK near $17M Box Office would likely drop by a good $4-5M easily.

Still surprised by the China Market, especially how Cut the Movie is...

If the UK Release was given the same treatment i doubt it would have even got 25% of what it did... well at least 50% drop and then most of that 50% would be left Upset as they would expect more.

If everyone who went to see the movie in the UK knew it was to be so heavily cut prior i think surely it would see a massive hit.

So i am very surprised by the Chinese Numbers. However i guess with over 1 Billion Population, even a movie that does Poor as far as People who see a Movie compared to % of Population you are going to get quite a larger number if the total Population is Massive.
