Of course if it does 20 million in China it will matter and limit its worldwide gross. Well Titanic grossed 1.8B with just 43M from China in it's original run. Avatar would still have grossed 2.5B without China. TFA still would have grossed 1.95B without China. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for TFA China mattered cause it would have passed titanic with better Chinese results. Solo, in particular, will need every dollar possible to have a respectable bo presence as part of one of the biggest bo franchises.

Infinity war would be huge with a TFA kind of Chinese’s gross. Going by that logic movies can be huge without any market, hell wasnt there a movie that did almost 900 million almost exclusively from China last year ?

Rebeccas Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 SW is weak in Latin America and other Asian countries too though (barring Japan). Stopped TLJ from outgrossing HP8 and AoU lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Warrior 2, I think it's the 2nd largest dollar value in a single market, behind TFA's 940mil domestic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one needs to worry. There is no need for anyone to mock it either. They don't need China, techinically MCU doesn't "need China" either, but certainly it would be ideal to have China. TLJ's global box office performance wouldn't be surpassed by BP, for example, if it had a Chinese performance any better than say, abysmal. EP9 would still be competitive for global crown next year but with the state of Star Wars in China, EP9 certainly couldn't begin to hope to outgross Avengers 4 or TLK globally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ep IX only has domestic advantage and even that isn't assured against TA4 since IX won't come anywhere close to TFA boxoffice while TA4 is likely to come close to IW one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, with the domestic performance of BP and IW, in comparison to TLJ. Star War's domestic advantage is certainly less pronounced now. Perhaps EP9 will compete with Frozen 2 for globally #3 worldwide next year! Edited May 12, 2018 by NCsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 China isn't needed for the Episodes but once Disney starts to have Star Wars films away from familiar time periods like the OT then it might be a concern if they continue to flop in China. Rian Johnson's trilogy will be a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rian Johnson's trilogy will be a test. Films away from familiar time periods cannot come soon enough. Such a big, rich universe and yet they can't move from OT era. Heck, even Favreau show will be set 3 years after ROTJ. People make fun of KOTOR fans clamoring for KOTOR movies but that era is interesting and never done before. Enough with X Wing/TIE/Falcon/Death Star/Star Destoryer/orange suit/Storm trooper iconography. Edited May 13, 2018 by Valonqar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
