Yep, I know the fall is massive.  But what do you mean they scored 100 mill upfront?  

They sold it to local distributors for $100m before the release.

Pretty sure that Paramount sold the rights here in China to a local distributer for 100 mill long before release. Pretty smart move

 

Perhaps @POTUS or @Olive or @Gavin Feng can confirm this

I think theatrical rights only, but for buy-out movies all rights belong to local company(for RE6 XXX3 etc)

So what is your take as to why it dropped so much in China this time?  What is it about this movie that people disliked so much in comparison to the 4th?

Franchise fatigue and the movie really had bad WOM, people have better taste than 3 years ago(not really, RE6 and xXx3 also made banks)

I dont think better taste (better? Lol, more like American taste) has anything to do with TF5 drop when movie like XXX & RE6 are still making a bank, and FF8 is not exactly some kind of good movie either.  Franchise fatigue + for the most part TF5 itself being horribly edited + almost nonexistent robots in action have killed the movie potential. Actually, the action has gotten worse since the 2nd movie. Bay seems to forget what make people going to see a TF movie. A decent plot + iconic fight like the forest battle in TF2 will make this franchise back on track. Also I think it's time for Paramount to hire some actor who has worldwide appeal to be the movie protagonist. I like Marky Mark but he's no where as popular as the like of Tom Cruise, The Rock or Statham.

TF5 does not please anyone apparently. It doesn't please the people who didn't like the previous ones obvious but this one with its plot that gets too convoluted for its own good and hardly any action until towards the end doesn't please the fans either.

That is a lot, do

 

1) the local distributors get a better return than 25% ?

2) has to pay for the marketing ?

 

If the answer is no and yes, it would have needed to do quite a lot to reach a 10% ROI.

 

Say they spent 7 million on that release in China.

 

that a 107 million cost, they need to think they have a good chance of getting 117.7m back.

 

Theatrical alone with a 25% return, that is betting on the movie doing over 470 million US in China, would that be close to The Mermaid record with today exchange rate ?

 

IT must have a bit more than that like they own part of the movie like the Ghost in a shell deal or some merchandising taste, otherwise such a non brainer for paramount, they did pretty much as much it could ever do and with 0 risk.

FF8 is not that bad.Actions scene is still amazing.Cinemascore is great.OW is incredible.FF franchise is Star War in China Now.TF5 has too much long and boring lines.Transformers are even Transform in TF5.That's awful.
