A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 It is, really. PR is what many Japanese dreamt about Why Les Misérables (2012) didnt become a blockbuster in France ? If America makes a Journey to the West movie, even cast a few Chinese actors and release it in China, I guarantee you it will bomb here. Things do not really work out as that easy as you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Misérables??? Really??? What a poor example, in France we don't like musicals, and the actors sing in English with French subtitles, people don't like that here, they want dubbed movies and TV shows.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 This is what Corpse has to say regarding PR vs WWZ in Japan: I honestly don't think it's going to be that big in Japan. $30/40 million perhaps. Films like World War Z are currently more popular on various movie sites, which it happens to open against, and I have a feeling some may shun it as a Evangelion rip-off without the story, character development or complexity (basically everything they love about the series). Warner Bros. has been having a terrible year thus far with their imported releases, too, ever since their co-owned cinema chain, Warner Mycal, was bought out. Not all giant robot or monster movies do blockbuster numbers in Japan. Recent examples being the Transformers films. Only the third one ranked in the Yearly Top 10 in 7th place thanks to 3D still being really popular in 2011. http://www.worldofkj.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=71110&sid=04335e328f4691736de2bb0d279e82be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, muscial movies are guaranteed to be a flop in France + the fact how we are heavily suspicious when an american movie adapts something that belongs to french ( book, history ).

Halba Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) it won't even reach 25mil in japan. i reckon 20 million is about right for japan. Edited July 16, 2013 by Halba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Honestly I'm not suspicious at all, rather the opposite Tintin from Spielberg was the best adaptation ever, and incredibly faithful to the original material, I know French studios could never reach this quality. I want more French stories by Hollywood, an animated movie about Joan of Arc in the same vein as Mulan (good adaptation of Chinese story ) from Disney would be great And I'm excited about the Hollywood version of Death Note 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would PR, an original film, make so much more than MoS, the newest ironic Superman movie ??

A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 It's not. Jurrasic Park 3D is more anticipated than PR. FF6 is the most one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
