I am beginning to wonder the average age of the forummers when we consider Zhou Xun young and Maggie Cheung a screen goddess I just think that if they want to attract the young crowd which makes up a big part of the growth in China, then it has to be one of the young stars.
She is an incredible actress - the most decorated one for sure... But she is probably too old to play the role. Angela Baby is a better choice? I personally would love Dilraba to act as the queen. She is gorgeous and quite funny.
Well the main leads aren't exactly fresh meat. You have academy award winner in Matt Damon and golden horse award winners in Zhang Han Yu and Andy Lau. So I think it is alright. It won't harm the quality of the film having some pretty faces as the background.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that KFP3 is stupid to open earlier. Its viewers per screen count is only second to Mermaid. It could have bested Macau and MK2 even if it is shown during the same period.
How much is your prediction for this Chinese New Year holiday compared to last year?
Last year (19th to 24th Feb) was ¥1.73b or $276.4m, which was a 24% increase from 2014. Would we see a 30% jump this time with MK2 and Mermaid?
