@chrisman0606 I forgot to add: there are rumors (havednt checked yet) about eg XXX also getting a release date in that time frame = maybe expect less and have an eye on other competition incl local? The release date is - as I understood - not ideal already - as so often for foreign films

IDK maybe check IMDB upcoming release date page for China, or other websites doing the same thing, or of course you could talk to either Olive or Gavin about it.

IMDb is the last website I'd check for upcoming China release dates (means newly added)

 

I meant I didn't check here in the China sub-forum - in the thread for the release dates in China, if there is any news.

I am interested, but to me it is not urgent ;), if the date is upcoming and there is still no news I might start to ask. Maybe.

 

I like/love Star Wars, but I am not here for Star Wars (I am a general movie business fan, ww), I am doing a lot of posts for providing data for people in general (if I have the time) I am not the whole year around here, I had an accident (broke my ankle) ~5 weeks back and am as such at home with more time at hand as usual = a lot more in the forum as usual.

 

But thank you for giving the tips, they might be encouraging for the silent readers too, here are a lot of people willing to help like yourself ... = the main reason I like it here so much (plus a really got place to find details)

Ahh, thank you, I wasn't sure

= I asked because a time before the release someone (maybe Olive or Gavin Feng???) said, that to have him on the cast (or was the other Chinese actor= might even hinder the BO in some Asian countries, as one of those two spoke pro-China about that dispute and that caused (I think) reactions of fans out of the involved countries.

Not saying it will have an impact, but you wrote earlier 'countries are strongly "attached" to donnie yen' = so maybe the theoretically plus got dampened a bit?

 

Or.... we will probably get to read a few articles later on? Do your newspapers / film magazines... discuss such things? 

 

Always curious to learn new POVs :)

As a malaysian, i can tell you that, politically we may against china espeically taiwan and Singapore, but when come to cultural matter like movie or singer, we were strongly attached to china to some extent, like japan and china are unhappy about each other, or even have some conflict, but your name still doing very well in china, while US-japan are known be politically alliance, but none of the Japanese cultural product scored big number at the box office recently.

 

In short, i will say, politically conflict may not interrupt the flow of cultural sense.

that is good.

 

Only to be sure, counts this also, if e.g. a singer,... speaks directly / openly / actively for the other side?

I still haven't even checked who it was and what was said = it is meant as a general question.

 

I think here the people wouldn't react in general too, if it is 'only' about the nationality, but I can imagine some reaction, if the person in question speak actively against the country / countries / population group / religion / or whatever the dispute is about. I do not mean average discussions.

Like as Mel Gibson spoke in such a nasty way  against Jewish, I know that some people here stopped to watch n.ew films with him as an actor in it (as a lead at least), but I am not sure, if that counts also for his director work (I'd have to ask around here to find out). 

Definitively not all of the population, but more than 10% out of the people I spoke to.

Are those Asian actors (Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen) biig there? Because that number feels poor...

 

I don't the have the numbers to back me up, but I'd say that  Donnie Yen is very popular, because of his Ip Man role.

Some commented "Wow, Ip Man is a Jedi now" upon seeing the trailer.

 

The problem with Indonesia is the very limited number of screens (less than 1200). A week into play, R1 already has to share screens with Assassin's Creed (opens today) and soon Passengers (opens Friday). Not to mention strong local movies.

Not like BVS and CW that simply dominated the screens. (BVS got USD 14 million).

 Reminds me, I still haven't seen Roaring Currents, the SK film, that didn't allow Guardians of the Galaxy to reach the awareness of the GA, made maybe half of Ant-Man and around minus 75% from Captain America part 2 or 3.

 

About what theme / which genres are the actual local films?

I do not like romance, horror, nor slapstick (or overly comedy,...)

= anything interesting, what might get a translated to English DVD/Blu-Ray release for foreigners to see some too?

I like based on realism historic... films incl. biographies, crime, spy, ...

Sci-Fi, fantasy too (depends a bit, not the sweet fairy tale like...), action also = not too mindless.

For foreign films,... no problem, if very action orientated, if not too bloody, as long as the daily live (incl the darker sides) get shown at least realistically to a degree.

Ah, and I do not like it at all, if the females are shown as the typical 'only a helpless decoration,...'

 

Anything local to recommend?

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has edged out cousin Star Wars: The Force Awakensin its first Tuesday hold overseas — percentage-wise. With $16M yesterday, Disney/Lucasfilm’s standalone franchise spinoff saw a 1.3% increase in offshore markets versus its Monday ticket sales tally. Last year, on TFA’s first Tuesday, that film dipped by 1% from the Monday.

...

The UK, which has seen a big exchange rate swing since last year, continues to lead offshore play and rose to $28.2M after a $3.5M Tuesday (up from Monday’s $3.1M). Germany was also up over the two-day period ($1.4M v $1.2M) with a cume of $15M. Australia too rose ($1.5M v $1.3M) for a total at $13.7M.

France had the 2nd best day of all offshore markets with $2M (another jump from Monday) and is tied with Australia at $13.7M. Japan is the No. 5 market at $9.8M to date.

did someone the exchange rates differences already? I think it might be too early, as I guess too many markets wont have the details already released.
