Marek the Jedi Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I wonder if it's a Central European thing because they dub everything in the Czech Republic and Slovakia too.well I wonder when did you last time saw anything in Slovakia or Czech Republic, only movies dubbed are for KIDS and most of 3D movies, almost everything else is with subtitles...Marek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm talking more about TV, because literally everything is dubbed. So I just assumed that it applied to the theatrical versions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 And also, if the subbed movies are more popular theatrically, why are they never shown on TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marek the Jedi Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 And also, if the subbed movies are more popular theatrically, why are they never shown on TV?they are playing mostly on commercial channels later, but of course dubbed....on payed channels like HBO you can have movie with subtitles, but also they will play it dubbedmaybe people here are lazy to watch original language on TV hmmMarek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Reading all your comments and I am thinking India is better off. At least everybody has the option to watch a movie in English or dubbed, both theatrically or on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 China agrees to widen market access for US films China has agreed to import 14 “enhanced” US films each year, in the 3D or IMAX formats, in addition to the current quota of 20 revenue-sharing foreign films, most of which are typically US releases. US companies will also be able to take a 25% share of box office, rather than the current 13-17% share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Foreign Box Office: 'Journey 2' Repeats as No. 1 Overseas "This Means War" opens No. 2 and "Extremely Loud" treads quietly in 10-market offshore debut, but overall weekend action is listless overseas. While foreign theatrical circuit experienced a listless weekend, a strong France opener buttressed by generous holdover numbers in Russia and China propelled Journey 2: The Mysterious Island to No. 1 status for the second consecutive weekend. Overall weekend take for the Warner Bros./New Line/Walden Media family adventure costarring Josh Hutcherson and Dwayne Johnson totaled an estimated $26 million – just $4 million shy of last weekend’s number – drawn from 8,700 locations in 43 markets. Overseas gross total stands at $128 million. Journey 2’s No. 2 France debut generated $3.4 million (including previews) at 436 locations, which Warner’s said was 51% larger than the take generated in the market by the film’s 2008 predecessor Journey To The Center Of The Earth. Second round in China delivered an estimated $7.9 million from 3,361 sites for a market cume of $36.2 million. Russia came through with $4.7 million from 1,001 sites in the second round for a market cume of $13.5 million. Thanks largely to No. 1 premiers in Russia ($5.8 million from 1,049 screens), Australia ($3.1 million from 338 sites), 20th Century Fox’s This Means War opened offshore to $11 million drawn from 1,963 spots in 16 territories. (It ranked second on the weekend overall.) That was “a very promising beginning considering only two of the top 10 international markets released this past weekend,” as per Fox. The romantic comedy costarring Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Thomas Hardy also opened No. 1 in Hong Kong, averaging more than $6,000 per-screen there. Opening softly in 10 markets was Warner’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which drew $2.6 million from 909 screens. The best-picture Oscar contender premiered No. 4 in Japan ($1.2 million from 309 screens) but No. 12 in the U.K. ($646,000 from 301 spots). No. 3 was Fox’s reissue in 3D of 1999’s Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, which grossed $10 million on the weekend at 4,571 venues in 63 territories, lifting its offshore cume to $37.1 million. Boosted by half-term school holiday business in the U.K., Disney’s The Muppets, scored $5.8 million on the weekend at some 550 spots, warranting a No. 2 market ranking. Market cume over 10 days comes to $17.4 million. Overall, the live-action/animation family comedy grossed on the weekend $7.6 million from 42 territories including the U.K., lifting its overseas gross total to $59.1 million. It took the weekend’s No. 4 spot. Fifth was Fox’s release of The Descendants starring George Clooney, which opened No. 3 in Italy ($1.28 million drawn from 280 screens), and wound up grossing $7.5 million on the weekend overall from 3,014 sites in 50 markets. As a result, the best-picture Oscar candidate hoisted its overseas cume to $68.4 million. Sony’s release of The Vow, which placed second in the U.S. and Canada, held the No. 1 spot in New Zealand, and yielded $6.8 million on the weekend overall at 1,550 screens in 24 markets. Foreign cume for the romantic comedy costarring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum stands at $22.8 million. Making its debut in 10 mostly smaller offshore markets, Universal’s Safe House, the weekend’s No. 1 in the U.S. and Canada, drew $6 million overseas from 1,932 locations in 35 markets, pushing the early foreign gross total for the CIA crime thriller costarring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds to $19.6 million. Openings in 11 additional markets including the U.K., France and Germany are due this week. Columbia Pictures’ coproduction, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance – the weekend’s No. 3 title in the U.S. and Canada -- opened No. 3 via local distribs in the U.K. and France, and took the No. 7 spot in South Korea. The Nicolas Cage-as-Marvel comics superhero vehicle grossed an estimated $4 million from the three markets. Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol starring Tom Cruise propelled its foreign gross total to $461.9 million (of which $85.6 million comes from China) thanks to a $5.8 million weekend at 4,160 venues in 65 territories. Sony’s Adam Sandler comedy Jack and Jill has grossed $60.8 million since opening overseas on Nov. 9. Weekend tally was $5.5 million derived from 2,670 screens in 30 territories. Steven Spielberg’s War Horse has grossed $54.7 million overseas so far thanks in part to a $4.7 million weekend playing in 41 markets. Hugo, director Martin Scorsese’s best-picture Oscar contender, grossed $4.3 million at 1,452 situations in 27 markets being handled by Paramount. A Brazil bow yielded $1.1 million from 257 sites. Paramount’s cume for the film, stands at $27 million. Sony’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is nearing the $120-million-mark in total overseas gross ($119.7 million) due to a $4 million weekend at 2,530 locations in 56 markets. Same distrib’s Underworld: Awakening, the Kate Beckinsale werewolf-versus-vampire sequel, grossed $3.2 million on the weekend at 1,975 locations in 49 markets, boosting its overseas cume to $69.5 million. Fox’s Chronicle, the action/sci-fi vehicle about high schoolers with supernatural powers, pushed its overseas gross total to $30.6 million thanks to a $3.76 million weekend playing at 1,656 locations in 41 markets.
