POTUS 2020 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 A movie like F7 that will do 300M+ isn't it better to maximize OW #'s so more can stay in China. I don't think a local film would do better than say AOU OW. To me it hurts China seeing they could make more, no? more money would be made by theaters but then less entertainment money is available for local films. The bigger picture is that china doesn't like to see money shipped out of the country no matter the product. To placate them we put factories in their countries for items sold locally and as you know Hollywood is co producing films so that more money stays in China keeping them happy. Hollywood is happy because they now risk less money producing and marketing a film up front in the event its a bomb and are getting a nice return when they perform well in china 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezorz Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 i dont thnik HW studios co-operate witch chinese production companies on specific movies to save some money. there are way too many options for investors to invest their money in HW studios, but most of them are for slates of movies, not a specific movie. HW studios, in case a movie is a hit, do not like to share its profit directly. They like their HW creative economics and preffer if investors invests in more movies so they can give investor only small amounts of money back and usually if a movie is supposed to be a huge hit, they like to keep investors away from such movies. HW studios co operate witch cinese companies because this way it is easier to get their movies to chinese theaters, get better marketing for such movies, and collect all made money back. if chinese film market wasnt so obstructive for foreigners HW studios would not care for chinese co production. more money would be made by theaters but then less entertainment money is available for local films. The bigger picture is that china doesn't like to see money shipped out of the country no matter the product. To placate them we put factories in their countries for items sold locally and as you know Hollywood is co producing films so that more money stays in China keeping them happy. Hollywood is happy because they now risk less money producing and marketing a film up front in the event its a bomb and are getting a nice return when they perform well in china Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
