Valonqar Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 CRA OS is absolutely abysmal. I knew it would bomb in Asia cause they have 1000 movies and TV shows like that, but holy cow the rest of the world. Though thanks to only 30M budget it doesn't need OS to save the day for sequels. Still, damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to popular belief, people outside the US are just as - or in my experience, even more - racist than people in the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the reason in this case. The movie simply has no stars and most romcoms that do well OS have at least 1 big star. Also, maybe the book wasn't big OS? Wedding Crashers was ridiculously big hit in US (why?) and did abysmal OS (did anyone know who Vince Vaughn was? or care?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France fucking sucks. I’m never going back. CRA didn’t really underperform OS. For a English language romcom with no huge megastars in 2018 $60m is great. I still maintain that WB completely dropped the ball with the UK release. Promo started alongside the US release (magazine interviews, front page coverage, internet hype and videos, book stores promoting the novel), you could’ve easily thought the thing was releasing the same day as the US. WB moved the film up by a month but by then it was too late. The whole thing was extraordinary. Edited October 9, 2018 by AJG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeccas Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Truthfully there is nothing unique about CRA's story at all to people outside the English speaking countries. People who would be interested in that kind of thing would just watch the hundreds of Asian TV dramas that have the same plot.. the only difference with CRA is that it's in English and has an American cast... and like why would that make it any more appealing to someone from Spain or India. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there's nothing really unique about CRA to English speaking countries as well. It's just an exceptionally well-made rom com with the tried and true formula, with exotic-ish locales for Western audiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Asian-American/1st generation immigrant perspective is the main selling point, which again, isn't really something that's going to stand out to a foreign audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
