Sam Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Very cool. My parents are from a city called Qui Nhon, which is central Vietnam near the east coast. When I visited, I went to Qui Nhon and Saigon. I was born in plain ol' Iowa though. I finished up my Bachelor's last year, though I do I intend to get a graduate degree, but that's more of a late 20's goal. For now, it's a few years in the job market. For now though, just excited to go see some Pacific Rim tonight. Kaijus and mechs, how can I not enjoy it?! Oh, Qui Nhon, I know the place. Never go that far up North though, the only places I went to when I visited VN are Sai Gon, and Nha Trang. Good luck in the job market. Even though I got another 4-5 years in school, kinda glad that I haven't to worry about all that yet. I'm going into the Healthcare/Medical field, so hopefully, hardships now but an easy, promising life in the future. Yup, I'm gonna see Pacific Rim tonight also, very excited I hope it will do well OS in place of the disappointment domestic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 The market is hungry and thirsty now. PR could make more than 80m in China! FF6 will damage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentryTrans Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 FF6 will damage it. 3D movies are more popular than 2D movies in China! 2D movies are dying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop54 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 It will make more than $50M in China. If STID made $56M this can do $75M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Even MoS only did $63M. PR $75M, an original visual candy, under the eyes of FF6 ? FF6 may have pirated copies everywhere now, it is the still most anticipated movie of this summer in China.

Halba Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) FF6 has exactly the stuff china audience will love. fast cars, and high octane action, and a proven star power with a chinese audience more aware. Pac rim no brand awareness, will only do around 60m. transformers is a proven mega world wide brand and the biggest pop culture icon for kids in the 20th century .there is no comparison. pac rim and transformers do not belong in the same sentence.

Halba Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 After watching PR, I think 100M+ combined in China and Japan is possible. It's the most fun I had since TA. My audience ate up the crazy action and I'm feeling confident that China and Japan won't let it down. i am thinking 90m for china , japan.

FF6 may have pirated copies everywhere now, it is the still most anticipated movie of this summer in China. The admissions of 2D Battle: Los Angeles reached about 7.2m in 2011. The admissions of 2D Battleship reached about 9.5m in 2012. The admissions of 3D Pacific Rim would reach about 12m!

SentryTrans Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 A lot of audiences think the spectacle of Del Toro's PR is much bigger than Bayformers! But general audiences don't know who is Del Toro or Bay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 About $9.9m in 4-day OW in SK! Nice! Certainly a "nice" number but with a disappointing results in North America, I wish the OS would be bigger as to offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Violence Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) I don't know if this is intentional on the part of local distributors, you know, divide & conquer because American movies are seen as competitors WB self-distributes in Japan. WWZ is distributed or co-distributed by a Japanese company (Toho), but it doesn't make much sense that WB would collude with them to damage their own movie. I think it's safe to say WB will do their level best to make PR a hit in Japan. (In fact they have a pretty big presence there--they even distribute a good number of local films.)

This doesn't sound like an outright flop everybody has been clamoring for the last few days But still I am expecting a bigger number. Audience fatigue I guess. I overheard folks are saying "..there is just too much death & destruction for one summer for me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
