Didn't dig the trailer really. Wonder if China > Dom for this.

I'm having a hard time pegging its potential in China. On the one hand, it has the Rock and takes place in China (although Hollywood pandering will only go so far). On the other, it doesn't look nearly as epic or interesting as his other action films. San Andreas made $103 million in China, so I suppose that's a good baseline for now.

Pretty sure The Rock said a while ago this is R

25/63.  The Rock should help it, but it's sandwiched between Ant-Man and Alita, and the slate for July so far is really crowded.

 

lol you're insane

[Scubasteve716]

Was looking forward to this, spot makes it look pretty bad though. Guess I'll wait to catch it on HBO

China could care less about that. They like it. 

You knew Great Wall is considered a disappointment in China right.

And by the way... it is mindset like yours..is why producers keep making such movies and offending many mainland chinese audiences. Lol.

Lol, They do this because CHINA wants it. Look at who is financing these movies they are Chinese companies [mod edit]. 

 

The Great Wall is the 29th film of all time in china. 11 Hollywood movies are ahead of it. With the Fast 7 and Fast 8 on top which star the rock. give it a break.

Eh. This is like SW8's domestic box office.

People expected Great Wall to earn more in China.  Chinese companies fund a lot of movie..even local films.. do all of them make a profit?

 

The total sum may look impressive but rmb that Great Wall made a loss.

 

I love DJ as an actor and hope this does well, but you are playing down potential negative impacts of this script and assuming this will absolutely explode there.

[vc2002]

The Great Wall's boxoffice take is a major disapppointment in China. Yes, on paper this definitely looks like another TGW except this doesn't have all those big Chinese names so this will gross even less. BTW, inChina Matt Damon is much more well-known than Dwayne Johnson.

I know its disappointing I was here last year. But you guys are insane thinking that its because a white dude saved the day.

I am digging this much much more than Rampage. I might be in the minority, but I feel like this could be bigger in the US than the monster film.

This doesn't look like something for Ant Man&Wasp to worry about (since some people expressed concern in another thread). It's a Die Hard in China. I expected better but the trailer is as generic as it gets.

I think summer as it is has enough room for all, but if this is PG-13 and targeting families who want to look for a thrilling movie too, then it will have some overlap with AM2. But I don't think AM2 will dent it really.

Good point! 

[StevenG]

I also feel that Ant-Man 2 and this can coexist. At this point Die Hard meets Towering Inferno starring The Rock sounds to me like a recipe for success.

Apparently this Rated R

I think cjohn said that yesterday. 

[MovieMan89]

R huh? Wow, this really is trying to be Die Hard knockoff I guess. I definitely think this is a ding against its box office, a movie like this would do better as a PG-13. And The Rock's only three R's are also his few box office duds DOM this decade (Faster, Pain and Gain, and Baywatch). 

[Claire of Themyscira]

I don't know why you're all doubting this when this film marks the return of Scream Queen and ICON, Neve Campbell.

 

PUT RESPECT ON HER NAME.
