I can see this getting a few more markets, possibly a N. America limited release but it has been doing well so far with China, Hong Kong and Taiwan doing fantastic business. It's been reported that tickets for A Simple Life in Taiwan were sold out fast. One to watch out for in the next few weeks.

I wonder if it does well in Italy if that will help it break through into the European market.

The storyline of the flick somehow reminded me of Intouchables. Got a lot of praise here after Venice but seems to have trouble to find German, French... distributors.

Well, hopefully it'll get a limited release in Europe.

Update on opening weekend grosses:

Singapore - $47,402

Hong Kong - $1,075,909

China - 5.21m

Wow, I didn't know that it got a limited release in Singapore.
