I skimmed through the topic. Anyway - Singapore loves MCU; top 5 highest grossing films in history are the Avengers films and Iron Man 3. 😅 Shang Chi will do well even if word of mouth is terrible, let alone if WoM is average / good. Plus Singapore's roll out of vaccinated halls came in the last two weeks which really increased the capacity. On the other hand; other parts of Southeast Asia waiting for a pirated copy. Haha.🤫 Edited September 1, 2021 by TigerPaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerPaw Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 @charlie Jatinder@Gavin Feng@john2000 Hong Kong reviews also tanking per HKmovie9 app - 3.3 / 5 out average of 17 reviews.!

See whether it stabilises and goes above 4. well i dont know how good the translation is......but from what i saw it seemed to me that there were a decent amount (not all of them ) of reviews that seemed as people didnt even see the movie.More particularly the reviews that i am talking about seemed to be identical to ones which someone can find on imbd (when people give low ratings for the sake of it) ,anyways lets see how it goes if its mostly review bombing it will start rising at least by a little (not for certain though ,captain marvels scores didnt increase at all in the us sites) and it will probably have decent legs.We shall see Edited September 2, 2021 by john2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read some reviews and I can understand why some are mixed - to be honest, a lot of us in Asia, Chinese speaking countries watched Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Donnie Yen films growing up. They are legit martial artist, and I mean I haven’t watch the movie but at least to me and my friends I spoke to - the clip of the bus scene looks weak in comparison to fight scenes done by the 3 legends (sorry Tony Leung, as much as I love you - you are not in the same league) I name above. But this may be different compared to the West who doesn’t have that much exposure to Wuxia / Kungfu films and they find such fight scenes “amazing”, “refreshing”. let’s see how the plot / storyline stacks up and whether the scores in Asia will improve. Let me check whether Taiwan has any scores up yet. Edited September 2, 2021 by TigerPaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are only 26 ratings then the score will bounce around all over the place I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scores will definitely improve - been looking at these sites for years; such low scores at the start actually help keep expectations in check which then allows later audience to have pleasant surprise and then good reviews will come in after. Seen this happened for quick a few films. I think it will stabilise at around 4.0 at least. Plus it is a MCU film, MCU fans will easily give it a 4.5 or 5.. haha. If BW gets a 3.9, don't think this will end up lower. Edited September 2, 2021 by TigerPaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 7 hours ago, TigerPaw said: I heard that Malaysia cinemas may reopen at 50% capacity for fully vaxxed individuals starting from 9th Sept. Waiting for official announcements. Seem like the first batch of movies welcoming moviergoers back after nearly 5 months closure would be those "old" movies like BW, AQP2, F9 and TSS. SC would likely land 4 days holiday weekend next week. The reopening announcement come as a surprise to all because the country is largely still under phase 1 lockdown but based on the initial blueprint, the cinema was supposed to be the last sector to be re-opened by Phase 4. So the "cutting the line" treatment raise some eyebrow out there. Still, given that nearly all cinema in Malaysia are embedded within shopping mall and cinema operator has been consistently one of the top tenants for retail space. A dying cinema will be big blow to property market which Government cannot accept, not to mention millions footfall from cinemagoers bring to shopping mall everyday. The chain effect of the cinema to retail property segment is just too big for government to ignore, therefore they are willing to risk it and give them a premium lane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
