i think i read about it somewhere, but i am not sure.

Do you know guus how much The Assasin made in Taiwan and S.Korea and other asian countries? It is one of the most expensive art house movies (15M budget) , i think we should care, even if it is not a Box Office breaker. It made 3M more during previous week in China. Total stands at 9M dollars. It shoudl end with about 12M. Openning day in Taiwan was 0,2M, so it should make 2-3M there.

Terminator: Genisys US gross 89,4M chinesse gross (2.9.2015) 92,2 difference 2,8M

Let´s not forget, Jurassic Park back in 1993 made 120M in Japan. JW might do big numbers in Japan. Or it can make 50M there as any other big HW blockbuster these days. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

The-numbers.com has had international cume for FF7 always a little bit higher. Box Office mojo seems to have taken their numbers for some reason, Anyone knows why?

Honorable mention. Doraemon Stand By Me continued its surprising run in China this weekend with $13.43 million for a total of $73 million after 11 days of release. Doraemon's China haul has now surpassed its entire Japanese run ($66.7 million) and sits as the third highest grossing animated film of all-time in China behind Big Hero 6 ($84.63 million) and Kung Fu Panda 2 ($94.75 million).

economically fast growing countries like china, it is difficult to compare now and then. 10 years ago there was 20 percent of current screen count. even now, FF7 vs TF4, screen count today is about 8 percent bigger, so rule of thumb, if TF4 did max. possible attendance per screen, 350M schould be about equal to TF4´s 320M. (ok, i know Exchange rate of dollar is different and TF4 had some chinese successfulm movie in parallel run - at the end, it is still apples and pears, what counts is just the final sum.

today´s chinese quota is 34 revenue shared foreing movies and 25 percent revenue share from these movies. it was set in 2012 for 5 following years. before it was 20 foreing revenue shared movies and 13 percent share. it is more than likely in 2017 (5 years from 2012) these numbers will rise. as i said earlier last week, do not forget, HW distributors do not need to spend most of their P&A expensise in China contrary to other foreing countries which in turn might be as much as half of what they get from cinemas. don not forget, China is not free market capitalism yet. if it was, there would be no quoatas at all. in open market , if there is a demend for a product someone will provide it for the hioghest price consumers want to spend and lowest price chinese distributor can do the distribution which would abe about the same as any other country.
