Question for you Olive : As a Chinese, can you understand Japanese? Languages seem to be the same from a European point of view, we can't see the difference. I know they're not the same, with a different pronunciation, but I'm curious

I did learn a little Japanese and Korean during college.So I more or less can read them.

I guess it was way easier than English? Given English is considered hard to learn for people speaking Chinese/Japanese/Korean. Edited December 8, 2012 by Fullbuster

Nope, English is easier.

[POLYLOVE]

Japanese also use Chinese characters which is the hardest part for Westerners to learn but not for Chinese.

In fact it's not necessarily the hardest part. I wanted to learn Chinese some months ago but I gave up for 2 reasons :-Too busy and already 3 foreign languages (English, Spanish, Russian)-Chinese is too hard because of tones, this part of Chinese is terribly hard for a French because we never use tones, English is not easy to speak for us, but Chinese is way worse. I don't like tones

[Fullbuster]

Nope, English is easier.

You think English is easier than Japanese and Korean? That's quite a surprise

[Olive]

Japanese is more than Chinese characters, its more difficult than English by a mile.

Yes, tones are very difficult. Very few foreigners can master them well.

English is the easiest language to learn.

[Fullbuster]

English is the easiest language to learn.

What are the other foreign languages you learned/tried to learn? Because you need a comparison to say it's easy :PAnd it depends of your native language in many cases : for most of French people Spanish is easy, and easier than English because both languages have 75% of their words in common, the orthography is slightly different but the words are very similar.So you say English is easy too, it's really surprising when I see how it's difficult for Japanese to learn it.By the way I love English because I can speak with Chinese, Japanese, Brazilians, Koreans and so on.. with it

[A Marvel Fanboy]

You are right.

『007 スカイフォール』は公開9日目に興収10億円突破で、2週目もNo.1に。12/8の動員10万5332人、興収1億3699万9100円、12/9の動員10万221人、興収1億3277万2800円で累計動員90万7875人、累計興収10億8553万7950円となっています

007 total;1,085,537,950 yen

[Fake]

I don't understand Japanese but it seems Skyfall made ¥137m on Saturday and ¥133m on Sunday?

[Olive]

YepMy keyboard was broken,so i didn't translate.Saturday ￥137M； 105k adm.Sunday ￥133M； 100k adm.2-day weekend ￥269.7m(-41%); ￥1085.5M total

[Olive]

Considering every first weekend has discount Saturday and sunday; the drop is decent.

[Olive]

Intoucables passed 1.5 bil yen mark; 1.23mil adm.￥1502.71mil

[Fake]

So Skyfall's 2nd weekend basically matched CR's 1st (excluding previews). CR made another 1.83m from there. If Skyfall manages that it will finish with ￥2.9b ($36m).Comparing 2nd weekends only, Skyfall's was 40% bigger than CR's. If Skyfall maintains this lead for the rest of its run, it will finish with ￥3.04m ($38m).

[Olive]

yes,35-40M may be the final range.One piece(adapted from the most popular Manga )and TH may hurt Skyfall this week.

which Hollywood franchises increased here lately ?Madagascar,James Bond
