    It is OK for a foreigner to speak English in China?

    $410M is back in play?
  3. zackzack
    The kids run to CATCHING FIRE. They belong to the same demographics. Maybe $630M+ WW
  4. zackzack
    GRAVITY is already $40M in China?
  5. zackzack
    I would sell GODZILLA rights to the Chinese for $50M
  6. zackzack
    GRAVITY will hit $30M but too bad it will not outgross WWZ

    Benny Chan is rather, you know, I don't want to be too direct. But WHO AM I has some of the best Jackie Chan action ever. The movie looks expensive & polished but the story/plotting is one of the worst.

    THOR 2 & MoS are expected to do around $700M - $800M WW, with some predicting MoS north of $900M. Their final numbers are both (minor) disappointments. GRAVITY was generally predicted to do $400M WW by many. When the 1st Saturday number was published, I went bullish and predicted $600M+ WW. A $400M WW is a pretty good performance for Warner, a $650M WW is truly gravity-defying.

    It's not that simple for some deals. For example, Lionsgate or some studio may get an up-front pre-sale deal If Lionsgate sold EP to the Chinese for $10M, it is not bad. But if they sold it for $1M they may be banging their head against the wall now.

    Good Box-Office is Impossible for GRAVITY in December. But then again, EP survived THOR2 and GRAVITY.

    How is liking TED embarrassing to an Israeli? I can understand why DICTATOR can be really annoying to some, but TED?
  12. zackzack
    Care to elaborate?

    Like? CARTEL WAR? LOST?
  14. zackzack
    Current WW $577M (incl. China opening) China $40M Rest of OS $30M N.A. $10M Japan $20M Total WW $677M Agree?
  15. zackzack
    With no major releases until the end of the year, GRAVITY will have no problem hitting $80M in China, unless CARTEL WAR, LOST or FALLING FEATHER break out in a major way.

    No, don't think so

    It has the best action sequence in all of the IM series. The race track attack. But I think most fans are right, the 2nd & 3rd act can be a bit better written. They should focus on Stark vs Vanko/Hammer conflict rather than meandering into burger time with Nick Fury, teary video made by dad, fight with your army buddy etc.

    Pretty damn good

    What is the percentage like? 90% of gross revenue? How do theaters in foreign territories earn with that kind of % when US theaters are complaining about not earning when studios take a lion share of the revenue at 50%?? So bizarre....

    In any other business, I want to get more out of my investment. 25% is puny considering I am taking all the risk, constant pursuit of creativity, infrastructure, investment in talents being groomed to be stars, publicity cost, other investment in peripheral industries, a mountain of legal fees. What does local distributor do really? Some movies practically market themselves. Getting 50% out of my blood & sweat, and the studios are getting "Oh, pleeeaase..."?
  22. zackzack
    Can't believe Stallone/Schwarzenegger is still raking it in in China....
  23. zackzack
    Really?
  24. zackzack
    EP's numbers look very nice. A nice surprise for the seniors. GRAVITY is just insane! And CF major disappointment!
  25. zackzack
    I am expecting more than "around $160M" With the expected huge drop next week, the film will be less likely to do $400M or $390M I guess the "a sequel will never outdo a $400M original film" rule still holds for CF.
