And on Weibo, there are comments that said many Marvel fans took the chance and called in to the film board to highlight this and complained to get the film banned. 1 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourCake Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Well, in the past weeks I already saw some Redditors make some jokes that it would be hilarious af if The Rock counts on China market to save Black Adam, only for China to give him the middle finger and releases Marvel films instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think might happen with Avatar? Would it get a special permission to release given that there are so many fans there. Plus Jc and Disney are for sure going to try their best to get it released in China which could be its biggest market (overtaking dom). It will also be great business for cinemas, it will bring loads of profits. Or is it in trouble considering its a Disney movie. Plus it might topple a chinese domestic movie from all time charts so perhaps that might be a reason not to give it permission? Not giving Avatar permission will also be a huge statement from Chinese government regarding foreign movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Keanu Reeves one was really a waste; investors were very keen to bring in John Wick 4 as Asian Superstar - Donnie Yen is in it; see how xXx 3 did in China just marketing Vin Diesel vs Donnie Yen... What a waste. USD100m at least for John Wick 4 if it opens there.. but no chance now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Jc and Disney are for sure going to try their best to get it released in China which could be its biggest market (overtaking dom). It will also be great business for cinemas, it will bring loads of profits. Apparently after the Pierce Brosnan thing, some people started digging around about Zoe Saldana and found that she at some point wished Dalai lama birthday or something like that (so technically the reason for banning Avatar 2 is there if they want to). So for the first time I think there is some reason to think Avatar 2 probably won't show in China, before this I was always fairly confident that Avatar 2 would make it. With Avatar it is just really complicated, On one hand, Cameron does seem to have a good relation with China, Avatar itself is pretty inoffensive, there seems to be some collaboration with the CINITY format so potentially some backing from China Film Group, also one can argue, the market needs a big hit in December after what has became a disastrous year. One the other hand, China has beef with Disney now, Avatar may threaten Watergate bridge's highest grossing of the year status, now with the increasingly tense relation with the west... It's just really hard to say, I don't think we'll know for sure if Avatar 2 makes it or not until we get a release date confirmation. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borobudur Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 China Film Bureau is in their full madness mode. Instead of watching film, they watch clips on how other people "offend" their propaganda. Outside of CNY, China BO has been dismal and ugly, and the past National day was just another new low but nobody want to "fix" this properly. With this, I just don't see how China can be the biggest BO market in a serious manner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
