newbie BO buff Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 2 hours ago, ttr said: One reason is that TJB made $100 million and Zootopia over $200 million more in China. And Dory has not yet opened in every market. Reckon there are other reasons, but I think China is the most important. Zoo sits close to 682 million. TJB has 592 million and a little bit more from Japan. Dory now is at 437 million, and even with remaining territories, even TJB will be untouchable. China numbers per mojo: Zoo 235.6 million TJB 150.1 million Dory 38 million So yes, China is a major force here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I think Pixar's movie doesn't fare well in china because of cultural factor, the pixar formula never work in china, and not only china, several asian country also display the same condition, just china is too big and hence, get attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Incredibles 2 will do well in China given it's also a superhero movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Pixar's formula different from WDAS' formula. I think that if Zootopia can explode in China, so can something from Pixar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I like that Pixar is disappointing in some countries. I'm glad other studios like Illumination and WDAS are challenging them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a country famed for its animation industry, Pixar had been the reigning studio for animated imports for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 WDAS is clearly distinct from Pixar, and Pixar hasn't been fantastic this decade given only Toy Story 3 and Inside Out were great and worthy of their movies from the 2000s. I understand why WDAS is doing better, and I liked it even more than Pixar. Illumination is another story though, qualitatively their movies are far behind..
