Fullbuster Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If Del Toro casts Jacki Chan in PR 2, I think it could easily do 200M+ in China alone. I think Jackie Chan would be perfect for a sequel because he's a big name all across the world, not just China. No. If Hollywood wants to be successful it just needs to do what it always did : impressive blockbusters which can lead many people astray. This is the winning formula, Americans need to be American and keep their own way. I'm not sure Chinese or Russian would care to see their own people in these movies, they don't watch it for these reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Violence Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) How did Avatar stay in theaters so long? I thought US films are only in theaters for 30 Days? What about the upcoming sequel to Avatar? Will it have the same amount of time in theaters as the original? Thirty-day runs are standard for both foreign and domestic films, unless they get an extension from the Film Bureau--though relatively few movies even make it to 30 days, due to poor legs and/or too much competition. (Second-run theaters don't really exist here.) Avatar got an extended run and was around for about three months. But as firedeep said a couple of pages back, the Film Bureau's all but stopped giving extensions to foreign films, in what I suspect is an effort to reduce the impact of the import quota expansion in 2012. It's way too early to speculate about what will happen with Avatar 2, since it's probably at least three years away and the regulators are constantly changing their minds about one thing or the other. We can say for sure that it would have a better chance of an extended run if it's set up as a Chinese co-production, though that's still no guarantee. IM3 wasn't extended, but it got a six-week initial run instead of just four (which I didn't realize until I saw firedeep's post--I thought it got a two-week extension). It should be interesting to see what happens with TF4, which is the next big co-production. But if Avatar 2 came out today, as a regular Hollywood import, it would probably be gone after 30 days, unless there was absolutely nothing else in the release pipeline.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 $100m should happen this week itself..... only 50-55m more needed now. Yeah, $100M should happen on Sunday. Sunday will be PR's 19th day of release in China. While it looks to take 45 days or so to cross $100M in NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Good news for PR, the new release Unbeatable is flopping based on midnights performance despite having excellent reviews. Screens taken by Unbeatable may be returned to PR on Sat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Lets thank China for showing some class that the rest of the world didn't. China and Russia were the only good surprises for PR. Japan was the most disappointing, Del Toro must be sad about it given it's a tribute to the Japanese culture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screens taken by Unbeatable may be returned to PR on Sat. Great news for PR. I think 110M might be possible and sequel set with Chinese co-production could do 200M+.

Olive Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I don't think PR will get an extended run because Gatsby is opening on 30th. And JP3D and MU opening next week will take many 3D screens. Anyway it may end up around 110M or at least 650M yuan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yep, extraordinary performance. It's been holding great so 100M by Sunday is locked and another 10M by end is doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MU has solid chance to breakout for a Pixar movie. firedeep and Olive think 20M+ is possible, which would be great for Pixar in China.
