rockNrollaDIM Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Oh, how shockingly offensive of her She prefaced it saying she knows he's not Chinese but he does many Chinese language films with Chinese actors. People need to learn some reading comprehension instead of only paying attention to the headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Bennett Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 WTF? How in the world is that inappropriate? Whether Taiwan is a country or not is still in debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogiezen Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Whether Taiwan is a country or not is still in debate. But she didn't insult China nor Taiwan. She just reiterated that Ang Lee is not Chinese and that he's from Taiwan which is true. She didn't say that Taiwan should be independent from the evil China blah blah blah. So this whole inappropriate thing is an exaggeration and just basically trying to make up a controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogiezen Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) 'Maleficent' Crosses $200M Overseas in Second Weekend on June 08, 2014 Maleficent added $59.7 million from 52 markets in its second weekend overseas, bringing the live-action Disney film's overseas total up to $208.1 million after only two frames. Mexico is leading the overseas markets with a $30 million cume, double the lifetime gross of Oz: The Great and Powerful in the market. Other top performers for the film include Russia ($24.1M), UK ($18.8M), Brazil ($12.8M), and Italy ($12.2M). Maleficent is Angelina Jolie's third highest grossing film of all time at the overseas box office, trailing only Mr. and Mrs. Smith ($292M) and The Tourist ($211M). It is on track to pass both those titles later in its run with upcoming releases scheduled for China (June 20) and Japan (July 4). Maleficent has grossed a total of $335.47 million worldwide. ........................ That Mexico numbers are insane.
