But I noticed several 1 star reviews that mentioned something about US movies deceiving Chinese audiences...not sure what that’s about. It’s possible some aren’t happy about a HW movie, especially a CBM, making so much money in China. Edited May 11, 2018 by Deja23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only say that because when RPO was out I remember someone saying someone/some company was paying people to downvote the movie? they said it was commonplace in China.

I just remember after opening night, you had people actually speculate that reaction would cause for a TLJ-type polarization among both fans and general audiences. Maybe something like that is happening here? Not to mention many people were surprised (without going into spoilers) that certain characters never met other certain characters that might make some folks feel deceived? I'm guessing here.

Rebeccas Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Well, I thought the ending would be polarizing when I first saw it but seems like everywhere else has loved it. Not sure if there's anything different about Chinese audiences that they would view it differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lehnsherr Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Interesting though I wonder why no other major market has had the same reaction (if the Maoyan rating doesn't change). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That someone you're referring is Grace Randolph. She desperately wanted this movie to have a TLJ-like effect in the box office. I did not see any evidence of TLJ-like polarization in North America and other countries in the world. I don't know about China but maybe the GA don't like sad endings or cliffhangers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Koreans are into some weird ass dark movies so I get why they're cool with this. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a factor I can see that, there's some really odd nationalism going on in China these days. Some may think they can accomplish something by punishing an American entertainment product when Hollywood has nothing to do with the trade war, and going to the movies is stimulating local economy as well.

UserHN Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 So the breakdown in Maoyan is like this: 9-10 71.3% 7-8 14.9% 5-6 6.8% 3-4 1.7% 1-2 5.3% In the lower end, the weighted rating would be 7.9. On the higher end, it would be 8.9. So the 8.4 current rating is exactly in the middle. Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Witch Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Will the score somehow increase or decrease? I'm not an expert on this. And how does this current score affect you guys' prediction? OW/Total? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, this is Justice League’s rating, which doesn’t correlate to a 8.6 rating at all unless I’m missing something. 9-10 12.7% 7-8 18.2% 5-6 56.4% 3-4 5.5% 1-2 7.3% Oh well, I’d be more concerned about IW’s rating if it wasn’t opening higher than I expected 2 weeks ago and/or had major competition next weekend.
