Synopsis

Five years ago, a fire took the life of Professor Poon, and the notebook on his research for a cure to a deadly disease disappeared without a trace. His assistant Gao Yu was saved from a fiery death thanks to the quick action of Chong Tin-po, a security guard at the lab. Now the chief security officer at a top level medical facility, Tin-po protects the lab where Yu works, hoping she will find the cure to the disease that took the life of his wife years earlier. Tin-po is soon caught in an explosive battle when Poon Chi-man, a young thief with a mysterious past, steals the curative medicine. After discovering the true origins of the medicine, Tin-po must decide who he can trust to protect the cure from falling into the wrong hands: Poon Chi-man and his accomplices or Tong, the ruthless businessman who funds the facility?

Home Market Releases for June 6th, 2017

June 6th, 2017

Beauty and the Beast

Summer is usually the slowest time of the year on the home market; however, this week we have the biggest theatrical hit of the year so far coming out. Unfortunately, Beauty and the Beast isn’t really Pick of the Week material. It’s not bad and the DVD or Blu-ray Combo Pack hav enough extras to be worth picking up, but that’s not enough to put it over the top. Unfortunately, the film was such a massive hit at the box office that it scared away all of the competition and there’s no real Pick of the Week films on this week’s list. More...

Theater Averages: Jackie Tackles Lion Earning Average of $55,743

December 6th, 2016

Jackie

Jackie led the way on the theater average chart with an average of $55,743 in five theaters. Given this start and add in its Oscar buzz and the film has a real shot at expanding wide. Last week’s winner, Lion, fell to second place with an average of $16,651 in seven theaters. Manchester by the Sea continues its impressive run with an average of $14,592 in 156 theaters. It still has room to grow. Miss Sloane earned an average of $11,213 in four theaters. It is reportedly expanding wide this weekend, but that can mean anything from a few hundred theaters to well over 2,000. Finally, Things to Come opened with an average of $11,030 in three theaters.
