pinocchio Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I guess the standard argument is "OS audience eat every crap as long as it's 3D*.As John Carter just proved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentryTrans Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) There are more 3D and IMAX screens in 2012 than 2010.Eastern European, Latin American and Asian film markets in 2012 are much bigger than 2010.

pinocchio Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Sure.And the sequel to WOTT -- "Revenge of the Titans* -- will make 600 mio overseas and so on.You don't even have to watch the trailers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentryTrans Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Economic development also promotes the film market, more and more people are richer than before in Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, they need to consume more cultural artifacts including more films.I won't be surprised that the sequel to WOTT could make 600m OS.

SentryTrans Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I really hope the chinese economy isn't based on similar ideas... China is still a poor country now, per capita GDP is quite low.You can imagine that how huge the film market could be when China's per capita GDP would catch up with US.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) They will be glad to hear you just raised the overall quota for Hollywood movies again!Right now hollywood movies share about 50% of China yearly box office. But the market is increasing so fast that the bad quality local movies can no longer support the market as much as before. The government want to develop the film market but they cant fully rely on local movies. There are more and more theaters opened in China and they need box office to keep the theatres running, and thus they need more movies to be released, especially hollywood big movies. They need hollywood blockbusters to motive and support the ever expanding box office market. This is also one main reason of China allowing more hollywood releases. And so the share of hollywood will just keeps going up. Edited March 17, 2012 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 They will use the gross/profit they get from Hollywood movies to finance new digital movie theatres and at a certain point wil limit the import again. What else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
