charlie Jatinder Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I would have hoped for Parasite, as it could have potentially done $150-200mn, going by general Taiwan to China ratio, but guess COVID and Piracy has killed all its chances.

Yeah Oscar buzz would have worked well in February release but even without that $5.5mn in Taiwan for a non-English film suggests $150mn plus easily. On 2/13/2020 at 7:17 AM, charlie Jatinder said: Parasite has grossed $5mn in Taiwan. Looking at some data, that suggest a possibility of $100-175mn in China, most around $150mn ish. Ratio of China Breakouts to Taiwan. Dangal: $188mn against $5.5mn: 34x Secret Superstar: $116mn against $0.9mn: 128x (outlier) Coco: $184mn against $4.8mn: 38x Zootopia: $237mn against $8.7mn: 27x Green Book: $72mn against $1.9mn: 37x Bigger films, which have established fanbases. Aquaman: $292mn against $15mn: ~20x Endgame: $631mn against $29mn: 22x Venom: $270mn against $10mn: 27x Shame with Covid-19 we are missing that but I am told there is an unofficial ban on Korean film in China but government may allow this one to cover for the loss due to Covid-19.

Parasite could have made that much even without any Oscar buzz if it was released any day of last year. It was one of the most discussed films in Chinese social media. Joker and Parasite got lots of conversations right after the films went online. But both of them are talking about class polarization, a topic that made them be stuck in censorship process. Because of the HK demonstrations, Joker got killed. Parasite finally got approved in recent, but it probably couldn't have a wide release plan. Richard Jewell was released in the beginning of this year. It actually shows some sensitive plots. Film Bureau only gave it a limited release show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may still release it post-Oscar win in the art cinema chain like Bohemian Rhapsody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
