To be fair, most movies are silly ...

Yeah still increases, just not exploding.

Is it possible that the growth in theater expansion is more in 2nd/3rd tier cities where local movies would be thriving. Seems like a number of HLWD movies are not increasing in step with the BO growth

Many industry people claim the next five years to be the age of Chinese homegrown sci-fi films (dozens are already in development).

 

Sci-fi/fantasy ----- to boom in a few years 

 

But overall things are getting better each day.

People can forget who make it first, but they will remember who make it best. China has a chance.

Monday  estimates
Our Times: 18M/128M
Transporter Refueled:10.6M/80.5M

Mockingjay - Part 2:9.4M/111M
Spectre: 8.4M/502M
 

 

Excellent hold for Top 2, not so much for MJ2 and SPECTRE.

Transporter Refueled may end up bigger than MJ2, so hilarious.

Yes, that should be one of the reasons. In smaller cities, local contents are more rooted. The relative decline of Hollywood's power in China in the past two years is a mixed result of many factors: local contents getting better and more attention, moviegoing booming in smaller cities, etc 

 

But it is also a fact that HLW films like Spectre are nothing like F7 or MI4 in style. The latter (which is more emotional/comedic filled with overthetop stunts/actions/explosions) are more perfered by Chinese audience but HLW currently is not producing enough of those.

Knowing what you guys know about the Chinese market, what will MJ2 and Spectre likely end up at? Martian will probably kill these two by the end of this week?

Maybe because AOU didnt excit people as much as what they expected ? it was like a replay of the first one, nothing refreshing.:ph34r:(IMO Ultron was also too weak, no real threat can be felt)

The Three Body Problem movie will be a crap ... 

The story is critically acclaimed but this movie is backed by a new production company and their budget is relatively modest so I don't know if they can make a quality film with that.

No, they cant.

 

Something big and high concept like Three Body Problem simply is out of the capbility of a team like that (with zero film production experience). Even WB might not be able to make a good movie out of a great IP (Three Body Problem), let alone ...
