zackzack Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) RE: the likelihood of FZ tanking at China B.O. FZ is steeped in European/Germanic mythology which may go over Chinese audience's heads. MU is populated with stuffed animals & Chinese folks were not amused by that. DM2 & CROODS may be animated but they feature human characters (the Minions are exaggerated caricatures).

iceroll Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 China's box office went from one of the bright spots and the most interesting 2 or 3 years ago to the most disappointing today :/ I hope people get tired of the shitty native films they're being fed soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The Monkey King? Wow! That's a massive number. Is most of the international box office from China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The Monkey King? Wow! That's a massive number. Is most of the international box office from China? No, certainly not. Europe is much bigger now, Latin America is even more fast-growing than China and Russia is pretty good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it only lists China, HK, Vietnam as places here it has been released. Edited February 3, 2014 by Christmas baumer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alee7915 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Although Frozen is getting less screens but I believe theaters will give more screens to Frozen if Frozen is doing good business in China!
