Looks solid. Seems that of the 3 films, only the Climbers is genuinely a bad film and the other 2 are actually above average. Even though the scores are similar, you can start seeing the trends in terms of box office and actual word of mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the trade war/economic stagnation, and the Hong Kong protest are causing the Chinese Communist Party to reinforce their political rhetoric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, meanwhile millions of Chinese people are willing to pay to watch these movies. After decades, brainwashing has reached the point that most people are used to the CCP narrative, and love the CCP-China, thinking they themselves (and China) can not live without CCP. It is a clear trend that propaganda films are doing better and better in recent few years. The whole country is fastly turnig left.

"Everyone is stupid and brainwashed by their governments, except us." @Somoset China's economy is currently growing at over 6%, way faster than US/EU/JPN. The CCP has delivered economic growth previously unimaginable in both scale and rapidity. These are undeniable facts. This being a forum dedicated to the global BO, you should give more respect to China and their government. I remember when buying Screen International in the late 90s (the only publication which at the time gave numbers for the BO, beyond the US/UK) There were two pages devoted to the North American BO, and another two pages devoted to the rest of the world, which included all secondary markets (Japan, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia) Back then, Chinese BO numbers did not exist, because no Chinese BO really existed. Now, a short 2 decades later the Chinese BO is directly comparable to that of North America. Let that sink in.

You can make better box office predictions (which kind of movies trend to perform better) only when you have a better understanding of the culture, the public voice and how the country works. I dont see what's your point. You really think propaganda movies are breaking box office records because they are really good...(?) China box office is big so respect should be given to the government... ridiculous logic. these are two things unrelated. Your post is actually not even worth commenting. I will leave it there.

China box office is big so respect should be given to the government... ridiculous logic. these are two things unrelated. Your post is actually not even worth commenting. I will leave it there. All states do propaganda, both internally and externally, the Chinese did not invent it. When Trump says that CNN et al is fakes news, he is right. What he wants on the other hand, is that CNN et al does the fake news that suit him. Same goes for any other politician, it's just how the world works unfortunately. Comparing China to (by comparison) statelets such as Japan or South Korea is disingenuous. China has more than 10 times the population of Japan and almost 30 times the population of South Korea which makes it all the more easier (for the latter) to develop by gaining market share in world trade. Even more importantly, Japan & South Korea have the backing of US/Europe in terms of global trade arrangements, precisely because they are geopolitically useful in containing (ie inhibiting) China. The only comparable country to China in terms of population is India, how does that country compare? The point I was making about the Chinese BO is that China has achieved (in the past 4 decades or so) the most impressive feat of economic development in all of human history, this is an absolute statement of fact. In recent decades the Chinese government has presided over the most astonishing reduction of poverty the world has ever seen. I again emphasize, these are irrefutable facts. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
