RTX Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Brand value and cultural differences.Many Chinese audiences don't konw what THG is.Can you specify, what are the main complaints about the film?I recall Bluebomb reported the WOM was mixed in HK, but it managed 3.7 multiplier there.

RTX Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 How can WOM not be good? The movie is excellent whether you watch it in China or in Canada. I guess it explains why Transformers 3 is the biggest thing there since fried rice...Transfomers 3, Inception, MI4 - all did great in China. Can't really blame Chinese auds for their taste in movies.

SentryTrans Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I guess it explains why Transformers 3 is the biggest thing there since fried rice...TF movies are very popular in China due to the G1 TF cartoon. The G1 TF cartoon and TF toys had influenced millions of Chinese children who are adults now since 1988.TF2 and TF3 had broken many records even they were bad movies.

SentryTrans Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The WOM of THG is mixed in China too.Lack of popularity and promotions are the main reasons.Postponement also affect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Not to mention TF films are big in America too.American youth culture has limited audience in China, which is still a poor country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentryTrans Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 China's film maket is different from Japan.If THG could be released in March or April, its performance would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 But when it's released should affect WOM. If it's received well it should still get good legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
