It's inexplicable how such a huge movie in two of it's biggest markets could have such poor subtitles and not for the first time with this series.  Disney should have better quality control over this and if it's a matter of money to make it better - then pay it.  Better subtitles would probably pay for themselves.

 

Are the subtitles also this bad when it comes to video release?

I never notice, but I never read subs all that much anyway so I'm not entirely positive. 

 

But yeah, it was a shame and the translator for IW denied any problems to the bitter end as did disneykorea which only exacerbated the situation. It was in such a crucial moment of the film too which I guess is another reason why everyone was in an uproar over it.

Even I noticed the awful subtitling (For some reason I find myself reading the Korean subtitles in films all the time. There is one that is hysterically bad in the post credits, but for slight spoiler reasons, I cannot say what it is.  

 

Spoiler

Let's just say that the subs imply that somebody is uncharacteristically crying out for for his mommy to save him.

AoU did a little less than half a million admissions after its equivalent Sunday. IW only needs about 312k to get to 11m admissions. However AoU’s Sunday of 142 is about 24.5% bigger than IW’s 114 Sunday. AoU did not face a direct SH competition like IW does so IW’s lower numbers are understandable.

Holiday on Tuesday and Culture day on WED, 11M is well locked.

Deadpool 2 passed 2M admissions today on the 6th day of release, which is faster than DP1 by 2 days but slower than Kingsman: Golden Circle by 1 day. The upswing for DP2 is that monday and tuesday numbers should be a good deal higher. 

 

Ryan Reynolds pledged to down a bottle of Soju on camera if DP2 passed DP1, which is something to look forward to as it seems to be a dead cert to happen. ;)

Star Wars never have much of a presence in Asian countries, SK included, with the exception of Japan, which is understandable considering its aging population. Doesn’t help that the new Disney SW movies often time relying heavily on nostalgia that was never there for SK audience. And I like a few of the new characters, but I can see why they’re not appealing to the young generation who just got introduced to the franchise. 

 

I follow SK entertainments through music, movies, TV shows, etc... and I hardly ever see SW making a presence in pop cultures. Many other popular old Hollywood movies are well known and often referenced there. But not SW.

 

TFA got the curiosity factor and had a respectable gross in SK, but the drop off shown in Rogue One and TLJ was staggering and telling.

 

Solo better hope for Europe and Japan to turn up big, cause Asian and South America countries won’t.

Doesn't Solo open in 24 hours? That is kind of horrible.

 

It opens on thursday but yeah, it doesn't look like it's going to do well. I think it will be a challenge to just beat Rogue one ($7M gross/1M admissions).

If it opens to 250k adm, what would the total look like? 550k? or do you think it will  be more legy and get 700k?
