TLK Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 TR will finish with a WW total of < 200 million on a supposed 130 million budget. This is John Carter/Battleship territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it first became clear last month that the state-owned China Film Group intended to open the two superhero films on the same day, Warner Bros. had been lobbying to delay the release of its "Dark Knight Rises" until September. That effort failed, as both movies have now been officially dated for Aug. 27. Adding to the competition for the limited number of screens and moviegoers' attention, China Film has dated the Ridley Scott-directed science-fiction movie "Prometheus" for Sept. 3, just one week later. Executives at "Prometheus" studio 20th Century Fox, Warner and "Spider-Man" studio Sony Pictures are undoubtedly frustrated by China Film's decision, which could lower their box-office totals in the second biggest movie market in the world. None would speak publicly, however, for fear of offending officials there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can compensate subpar Domestic performance with a better Overseas performance then TE3 can still happen. They will have to deal with the budget though as I don't think studio will let it exceed $100 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Ugh, I'm sorry but China is such a damn backwards and out-dated country (in terms of their government). How can we even still have communism in 2012?Their treatment of American films doesn't really have anything to do with communism. They just don't want foreign films completely overshadowing their own film industry because their government has a huge nationalist pride boner. China isn't really a communist nation anymore. They make up their own rules as they go along now. Its more like very strict state controlled capitalism.I had to be insightful for our village idiot, Futurist.
