So does that mean this will actually release in China?

 

Nope!  Investment doesn't dictate release, usually!  No one can predict what the CCP will allow in or not, these days... 

Looks like it has a Hong Kong release, though!  And Hong Kong is basically China, these days (unfortunately)...so that probably indicates a release in some form for the Mainland.

If this bombs, as seems likely, Emmerich might find his Chinese Money drying up. 2012, over Ten Years ago, was the last real sucess he had.

CCP is definently cracking down on the number of Foreign films allowed in. Seems to be on general principal .

I would not be surprised, the way things are going, that you see Russia begin to ban films that PUtin feels might not be "good" for the Russian people to see.

Authoratarin goverments suck. They always end up attackng individual liberties.

Yeah...that's kind of why they suck!  And I will continue to call out people here for "praying" something gets a China release.  No apologies.

It is hard to believe a director need to rely on criticism to other people works for publicity, especially when he himself doesn't really earn his right to do so like other director like Scorsese.

3 glowing reviews on RT so far...

 

"Moonfall" isn't the worst film Emmerich has made, but it's close."

"Moonfall is mind-numbingly dumb by even Roland Emmerichs standards."

"How do you make an apocalypse film so idiotic that the movie is its own kind of disaster?"

Again, you have this completely backwards.  Theaters aren't refusing to play the movie, Lionsgate is withholding it from them.  

You're right. I was misled by rumors that movie theaters were refusing to play the movie due to the distributor's demands for a higher share of ticket sales.

The critic gave a better line, "This sloppy sci-fi flick has more holes in its plot than craters on the moon."

I don't think anyone knew what the embargo was, but it seems to have dropped

32 at MT with 14 reviews.

41% RT 

 

Moonfall RT > Horrendous Netflix Asteroid Film RT????????

[el sid]

Now at 46% with 39 reviews. Will it end fresh😉?

Ok, probably not. But this score is (at the moment) way better than that of Geostorm (17%).

roland ememrich should stop doing disaster flicks. He has nothing to offer in this genre now. I liked his last film, but it tanked. Should do small scale films with under 50M budget.

Worked out well for Anonymous and Stonewall.

So Moonfall was selling decently well at Disney Springs tonight……..in the Dolby.

 

the 7:30 showtime in the enormous Theater 2, however, as of around 5 it had sold 12 tickets.

Yikes. It's irredeemable garbage (like Independence Day 2). I'll be watching this one at home.
