Fixed that for ya. It's as if *gasp* China and America are two different countries from two different parts of the world speaking two different languages.

Well, your respect isn't worth much anyway if you were willing to lose it over a movie preference.

I liked PR (for what it is) but I think it'll be difficult for it to make a dent in the Japanese BO, saying as someone who's part Japanese. The young adult-ish drama of the movie isn't that relatable while the little action given isn't markedly more exciting than the usual tokusatsu fare. Happy to be wrong though.

I wonder would it have helped if the movie was distributed by China Firm Co.

From the indication BvS could lose up to 80% screens by the weekend?

That's growth born out of the growing Chinese market, and not indicative of the growth of the movie franchise there. The drops would indicate that.

Man, to see a movie like BvS faring so poorly. Then again I saw the movie so I'm not all too surprised.

How's the WOM so far for BvS in China?

No, he wasn't making a like for like comparison between the movies. He's saying there's a cultural difference when it comes to the enjoyment of movies. Yes, Monster Hunt is cheesy but there are elements to it which the Chinese audiences found endearing. Also, and likely the bigger factor, it ran for 59 days in theatres as opposed to Furious 7 which ran for the usual 4 weeks. Furious 7 would have beaten it cleanly had it stayed as long.

Yeah, definitely.

I see, that's interesting. Might not be up the alley for Chinese audiences.

@firedeep Would you consider Batman v Superman a dark horse as its release date seems to be quite good (no competition and one holiday weekend)?

Cheers firedeep. The movie sounds awful all round.

Is Crouching Tiger 2 subbed or dubbed back in Mandarin in China?

Seriously. Wow.
