  1. Personally, I don't hate the American culture. I just don't like the romanticizing of freedom of speech to the point that it is all good, with no drawbacks especially by politicians and political organisations. At some point, the Chinese will get sick of Transformers. But there is no guarantee that they won't adore something that you absolutely hate. Which I think is healthy. It will be quite a boring world if everyone has the same taste.
  2. I share the same sentiments. I am really quite bewildered that many glossed over TFA being more like a remake than a sequel. The plot device is so old school (been there done that)... We will see whether Chinese can retain their own movie culture. Singapore is pretty much conquered.
  3. I wonder if movie studios will start fighting for the this week's opening if Star Wars TFA breaks the record like Titanic and Avatar.
  4. 30 films? Wow... they are not going to make much individually, is it not? No record breakers I suspect?
  5. Ha! It's always intriguing that the American domestic gross includes Canada, yet China's does not even include Hong Kong and Macau in their gross. Taiwan is treated like a country! :O
  6. Thanks! Looks like that is fairly easy... Is ROC subjected to the same 30 days limit?
  7. Is Our Times the highest grossing Taiwanese movie in China ever?
  8. Elated to see a Taiwanese film doing so well. It's about time they shift to grow both commercial and artistic film genre.
  9. might be the perfect fantasy of the ant tribes in China. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_tribe
  10. Unless they have two Chinese kids acting as Katniss and Peeta's children.
  11. Should be an interesting year for Chinese animation! Can't wait!
  12. So GML gross is 4 times that of LiHK and more than the rest of the top 5 combined for two consecutive days... Incredible!
  13. Many Chinese watch Transformers cartoon as a kid. There is a Chinese subplot. IO has no fast cars and is too adult.
  14. Jaw dropping... Looks like 50% increase from last year is a given.
  15. Yeah, that would be a better time with the summer vacation. They have kept us waiting long enough. What is another 5 months?
  16. I think the real reason is because education is highly valued in Eastern culture. If kids miss school and fare badly in their university entrance exams, many people will blame the government
  17. I see... Well it would he spectacular if all of them make 1b
  18. Apparently in Sep, the Chinese market is only 13% smaller than North America. http://www.entgroup.cn/news/Exclusive/0626368.shtml
  19. I think it won't be a flop. It got some attention because the Little Prince will be voiced by a decently popular boy band member in China, Yi Yangqianxi of TFboys. Not sure if it matters, but the weibo post had over 700m views and 4.5m discussions. I hope it will make at least half of minions.
