Obviously the promotion and release strategy aren't comparable, but the final result is that at the end of the day, it made a fucking mint back home and a pittance here in the states. And do you think that at the end of the day, it worries them?
The other thing to think about is what kind of similar sci-fi movies have actually done well in China? Like spaceships and space battles and lasers and all that. Guardians didn't do that well, Star Trek did bad. They clearly don't care about Star Wars.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
China - 5/5/17 $48,563,935 48.2% $100,663,260 Pretty good for a very weird sci-fi comedy.

There's no right or wrong opinion but when a film is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes yet it is a horrible movie in the public consciousness you can say critics were wrong.
Batman v Superman eventually will be considered a classic and one of the best movies of all time because there's millions of people who love it and it's their favorite film and they will carry that for their whole life, their kids will grow up watching it and loving it, so it will be one of Hollywood's great classics, and when people go check the score on RT they will laugh at the critics just like they do now with the Indianas Jones 4 score and the Avengers Age Of Ultron score.

Funny.
Most of BOT members declared Age of Ultron was a massive disapointment back in 2015.
If I didn't know better, I would have swore Ultron was a giant flop just by reading them.
Wonder how they are gonna call the tepid box office run of their precious Sta War movie this year.
Star Wars has some BIG concessions here on BOT.

This might rub some people the wrong way, but I would take Star Wars failing to break through in places like China as a compliment of the quality of the film and not an indictment.
War of the Planets of the Apes.
GREAT movie (way better than The Last Jedi IMO):
$ 112 million in China.

Zootopia, Avatar, Captain America: Civil War, Coco.
Good movies, good Box Offices in China.
Ah! Dunkirk, a movie with less appeal to foreign audiences, made 50 million there.

I recently watched watched Rosemary's Baby and the similarities to mother! are hard to ignore. At first i gave mother! points for being original, but now i don't know what to think anymore.
Rosemary's Baby is a Masterpiece.
Mother! is just a movie in which the director thought it would be very clever to recreate several biblical passages and metaphors, on the nose, and mix it with messages against the destruction of nature and how religions can be bad, all with the depth of a teenager talking about these subjects.

When it goes on Netflix I’ll watch it for a laugh.
I do want it to be entertainingly bad though, like Showgirls and Catwoman. Not just boring bad.
I hated this movie. It's not the fun bad movie type, it's the pretentious tiresome bad movie type.

Me personally,
I don't want to see Han Solo, Yoda, Boba Fett, Jabba the Hutt, Obi Wan, etc. spin-off movies.
I don'r want to see a new Star Wars movie every year.
After this new trilogy, give it some rest, tree years at least, make some Indiana Jones movies instead.

How about we do the Fincher wars now? That sounds a lot more fun than the same old shit.
Se7en
Fight Club
The Social Network
Gone Girl
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
The Game (it would be higher, but the ending sucked balls)
Panic Room
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Alien 3
All of those are at very least decent (except Alien 3, which sucks, and Button, which is.... average), mostly good. Say what you will about Fincher, but the man is a quality filmmaker.
Se7en an Fight Club all day!

Yeeeesh Disney
Anyway:
Alice in Wonderland 3: We Know Everyone Hated the Last One
Not as bad as the Justice League reshoots, hardly will be a worse movie too, at least is really beautiful.

I meant pure as in the it doesn't contain any mediocre movies!
Jeez boy...
Avatar only has ONE movie, released 8 years ago, it's not even a franchise yet.
And, yeah, it's beautiful, but pretty mediocre movie.

I want to see the movie again next week.
Right now I think it's just a good movie, not great. 7.5/10
Has many good moments and also many flaws.
But I'm glad they made TLJ.
