Clayface remains Taiwan's most-demanded film, holding first place with an FDI of 13.8 as Godzilla Minus Zero surges into second with 10.1 before opening this Friday. The SEATmio Film Demand Index (FDI) is a film's share, in percent, of all tickets SEATmio tracks in Taiwan, combining the last 7 days of screenings with advance tickets for future showings. Clayface sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and has Unlock advance tickets; all ticket totals are rounded SEATmio estimates.
The lead is less comfortable than it was a week ago. James Watkins's horror-thriller Clayface, from the director of Speak No Evil and Eden Lake, stayed in first place but fell 6.2 points. The film stars Tom Rhys Harries, Naomi Ackie and Eddie Marsan in the story of Matt Hagen, whose disfigurement and experimental recovery push him toward revenge.
Godzilla Minus Zero is the market's sharpest mover, climbing from 30th to second after rising 9.4 points. Takashi Yamazaki's science-fiction action horror, from the director of Godzilla Minus One and The Eternal Zero, has Unlock advance tickets. It overtook a long line of titles since last week, including Resident Evil, Godzilla Minus One and The Odyssey.
Behind the top two, The Mongoose is third with an FDI of 5.4 after Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and Unlock in advance. Mark Vanselow's action thriller stars Liam Neeson and Marisa Tomei in a story about a falsely accused war hero leading a televised cross-country chase. IU CONCERT : THE WINNING climbed from ninth to fourth, rose 2.6 points and has an FDI of 5.3, while Resident Evil slid from second to seventh after falling 3.2 points.
Last weekend, Clayface sold the most tickets with Unlock, down 33% from the previous weekend. The Mongoose opened in second with Unlock, while To You in the Beyond and IU CONCERT [THE WINNING] IN CINEMAS opened with Unlock each. Let the Bullets Fly also opened strongly enough for fifth place, selling Unlock tickets over the weekend.
Local production has a visible place in the race. Emperor On Stage, Tseng Wen-chen's documentary led by Yang Li-Hua, is Taiwan's top local title in eighth place with an FDI of 3.5. It sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and has Unlock advance tickets, ahead of The Evil Inside in 12th place with an FDI of 2.5.
The next wave is led by Godzilla Minus Zero, by far the strongest film opening in the next 21 days. Event titles are also already drawing demand: (LIVE)A-Stray Kids World Tour LIVE VIEWIN has an FDI of 1.3 before opening November 7, and EXO PLANET #6 - EXhOrizon [dot] in CINEMAS has 1.2 before November 8. Farther out, Avengers: Doomsday is ninth with an FDI of 3.1 for its December 16 release.
