A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Why do Chinese moviegoers care about Escape Plan? Wasn't Western media negligible when Arnold and Sly were actually relevant? As Olive says, star power I guess. Not to mention EP actually is not bad. It is just very 80s. Next year TE3 could do $70m+. TE2 did $53m with a very bad slot. Half of current Chinese movie goers (over 30 years old) grew up watching Arnod and Sly anction movies in video halls in the 1990s. The guys they just mean something. Worst legs ever? For a big release I mean. Nope. It is one of the worst, but not the worst. Holding Love, a local rom-com that released on 2012 Chinese Valentine Day (8.23), is still unbeatable. It had a 23M OD but only did 46M total.

zackzack Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 GIJOE2 & DIE HARD 5 did very well in China. EP has similar action heroic elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) True Lies was big in 1994,no? It was #1 in 1995 (released here in 1995). It was the first 100M+ RMB Hollywood grosser in China. It (102m) was the first and one of the only two 100M+ RMB grosser in the whole 1990s. It hold the post-1994 boxoffice/admission record for three years till Titanic in 1998. And it (15 million) had been the second most attended movie since 1998 until in 2009 (TF2 and 2012 should have got close) or 2010 !

zackzack Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 EP earning $40M in China will be nice. That is 600 million middle class population will bring to you. Hollywood should court Chinese audience more. And smartly. Instead of doing offensive Asian caricatures like Mr Chow from TH series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE3 will definitely do more in China than domestically then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol ... But hey Shenzhen (where Algren lives supposedly) is an amazing city among all its buddies in China. It is a very young, vibrant and promising place (the average age of inhabitants there is only 30). Also it is the 4th biggest box office market behind Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The rates there are crazy though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alee7915 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Shenzhen is part of Guangzhou Shenzhen and Guangzhou are two huge and modern cities in Guangdong Province. (Don't get confuses between Guangzhou and Guangdong.) Guangzhou is the capital and largest city of Guangdong Province. Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Guangzhou all are huge and modern cities.

Shenzhen is an exciting modern city now. I am not from China. China has changed a lot. Almost every western countries(UK is a very good example) are now tuming to China for " MONEY". China sits on the world's largest foreign exchange reserves. Many people view Beijing's $3.66tn ($1tn=$1000 billion) cash pile. That’s more than the combined reserves of the four runners-up: Japan, the euro zone, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. China, also the biggest foreign creditor of the United States. http://qz.com/135340/chinas-central-bank-now-has-3-66-trillion-in-foreign-reserves-but-whered-it-come-from/ Edited November 10, 2013 by deep mama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
