Everyone wish, haha, however he has stepped behind the camera... 
The day he steps infront again, I can't imagine what the box office results will be.

He was supposed to play Show Luo's role in Mermaid.

 

Who knows, he might appear in Journey..

The last movie he acted in was CJ7, right?

Loved that movie.

He was supposed to be the director and main cast, playing the role of "Kato" in the Green Hornet movie. But due to creative differences, he left, apparently Sony executives said he had crazy ideas about aliens and stuff and they couldn't accept it. 

So Green Hornet went on to look for another "Chou/Chow" guy and found Jay Chou, who pretty much killed the movie. lol.

I believe the movie would have been so much better if Stephen Chow was in it, and he would be more mainstream in the states.

5 Feng Xiaogang movies, 3 Zhang Yimou movies and 2 Stephen Chow movies.

 

I wonder if Feng Xiaogang's next movie will be a hit. Personal Tailor was still profitable despite some factors. His influence is still intact, especially when you take into account that he won accolades for his acting in Mr Six and that was a box office hit.

Thanks Olive. But I was looking for Top-10 or even Top-5 for each year......

 

I am in the mood for watching some Chinese movies and need to see which ones I have missed.

Would the seventh day of CNY be the biggest day given that it is also Valentine's Day?

To be honest, that jay chou guy who played kato was the best thing of that movie. It's just that the movie was mediocre. 

 

Stephen is waiting for a Hollywood project. I think they should have hired him as director for Dragonball but instead he was the producer and hardly had any role.

I don't think so.

[keysersoze123]

If mermaid continuous to gross close to 200m till next monday it will be at 1.8B by that time!!! 

[Quigley]

Nice sum up for biggest single-day on record: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/china-box-office-mermaid-powers-863257

 

Also I have to say I'm satisfied that Kung Fu Panda 3 is already crashing. DreamWorks should just quit making movies cuz the vast majority is somewhere between ridiculous and pathetic.

Surprise...Stephen Chow, Feng Xiaogang & Zhang Yimou, their movie release at the same year 2016. Maybe no one can beat Stephen Chow this year. Ask for Feng Xiaogang & Zhang Yimou, I'm sure The Great Wall > 我叫李雪莲  (My name Xuelian) . 

[POTUS 2020]

Mermaid not going to drop much today. 

TMK2 Continues to slide hard 

KFP will hold flat to a small bump again

The overall BO should hold within -5% daily thru Saturday based on last year.

LI XUELIAN, which like Mr Six is a drama, should be a hit, topping Mr Six is possible but it wont beat TGW or Mermaid.

 

LeVP distributing TGW. its is a terrible distributor like ODW so lets hope it doesn't pull a KFP3…

production budget:

MK2- 300m

Macau3- 200m, including paychecks for the stars but not box office bonus for Chow and the producers

Mermaid- 180m, Chow paycheck 200m

 

MK2 has the highest marketing budget for any local title but it wont do 1B at this rate so Filmko could lose money on it. it should have chosen a summer release and would have little problem becoming the summer bo champnion…MK2 fell due to a false pick of release date, similar to KFP3.
