Spidey, Caesar and God Nolan will be fighting each other thanks to SARFT.

3 movies will be released in 10 days

God Nolan will do good in Europe and Spidey is already making money OS. Really wanted Caesar to do well in China but seems tough.

guess Dunkirk is doomed then. A superhero action film should have the advantage over a British war movie

 

just like guardians having an advantage against a bollywood movie. If I am not wrong Nolan has strong fan base in China. Interstellar broke out huge. Dunkirk being a thriller will play great. Its not a typical war movie.

One is a sci fi (Gravity and the Martian did great too) the other a WW2 war movie...hardly similar

 

Hacksaw Ridge made $60m plus with terrific WOM

 

On another note..I'm surprised Sony didn't secure a date yet since Wanda co financed the movie (10% stake), I thought it'd give an advantage

Not only Interstellar. Inception ranked #5 in 2010, with 462m Yuan. And by the way, Interstellar ranked #5 too in 2014... China loves Nolan.

Ya. That shows many China audiences have good taste. Contrary to popular belief

There are certainly many Nolanites in China, just like in the US. In my circle, 5 folks out of 10 passionately love Nolan, the other 5 wouldn't admit they like Nolan only because they think there are already so many Nolanites that loving Nolan is no long a pretentious thing.

Spoiler

I am amazed that people are still sprouting this war drama nonsense. Dont all the early reactions/reviews show this as a thriller set across 3 timelines. That's more inception than anything else.

Dunkirk is not really a war drama, so the Hacksaw Ridge comparison seems a little flawed. But $60m would be a great result for Dunkirk in China if it's able to reach that kind of number. TDKR made $50m and TDK made $0 in that market. Every dollar helps when you take big risks. Dunkirk is the riskiest large budget project of Nolan's career.

It is risky that's why I wouldn't jump to conclusions yet.

 

Nolan fans are usually stubborn and annoying so. :sweat:
