Issac Newton Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 John Wick: Chapter 4 Blacklisted In late January, Reeves received heavy criticism from Chinese social media users, some of whom called for a boycott of his work in China, after it emerged that he planned to appear in a March 3 concert organised by Tibet House US, a New York-based nonprofit founded at the request of the Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhism's spiritual leader. Reeves participated in the concert, which was held virtually due to restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19, prompting more criticism online. Chinese streaming platforms including Tencent Video and iQiyi have taken down films and video content starring him. Out of which at least 19 of his movies were pulled from Tencent Video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know but I was hoping if Marvel films can be released, JW4 has a 1% chance noting Donnie Yen's involvement and apparentlying being the co-lead. We know his status now in China in terms of being a political figure. But another issue is the violence, China has no film rating system.. Kids can go into the cinema to watch anything, hard for them to not cut out half of any JW movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think letting marvel back in means they won't ban them if they do something politically that ccp doesn't like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seduh7 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 It seems that The Wandering Earth is catching Full River Red at the daily box office. On thrusday (Feb 2), FRR made $12.66 against TWE2 $11.45. After all TWE2 didnt collapse as some expected, it didnt explode as it could but it's a hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just a box office profit it hardly cover budget(¥3.6B),but now they recover the budget by selling the toy and making game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, but the movie will make $550 or ¥3.6B, a good number for a sequel. Obviously it could have done better, but also worse. If the budget for the movie is so big the problem is the budget not the box office. If a Hollywood movie cost 1 billion dolars and it make $2 billion worldwide, it will be a blockbuster in numbers but a finance failure because it cost so much. Avatar cost $450, a veru risky number, but its a sequel of a $2.9 billion movie. The Wandering Earth made $680 in 2019. Doing $550 is a 20% drop, not great but not a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issac Newton Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 IMAX Record $34M in Spring Festival. 54% bigger than 2022 &3% ahead of 2021. "Wandering Earth 2" led the way with $26.3M in box office across the IMAX network — good for 8.2% of the film's total gross on less than 1% of screens. "Wandering Earth 2" is now the 3rd Highest Grossing IMAX release in China. 2023 marks the first time IMAX has ever had a $25 million-plus grossing Chinese film and Hollywood film "Avatar: The Way of Water" in Chinese theatres at the same time. "Wandering Earth 2" also received a limited North American release for the holiday, where IMAX earned 30% of the film's three-day opening gross in only 31 locations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite, easy to re-release old film (that were released back in past). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
