MinaTakla Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Unless Minions makes 200m in China, it will not be beating Frozen WW. Very unlikely but not entirely impossible. Edited September 6, 2015 by MinaTakla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 It's gonna clear 200m. Minions narrowly finishing ahead of Mission in Japan, but that's not really a surprise given the fact that MI5. had the juggernaut JW against it.

terrestrial Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Please any numbers of Monster Hunt tally? I've forgotten where I usually look into the actuals, so here what I found (maybe it helps?) Monster Hunt, a domestic live action animated film by Hong Kong-born Raman Hui, is already the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time. Its total box-office earnings stood at 2.3 billion yuan (S$515.2 million) on Aug 23 since its July 16 debut. Monster Hunt, a domestic live action animated film, is already the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time. Its total box office earnings stood at 2.3 billion yuan (US$362 million) on Aug. 23 since its debut on July 16. It was directed by Raman Hui, who has worked extensively with DreamWorks and had a co-director credit for Shrek the Third. The last slot on the top five belongs to the domestic live action CGI hybrid "Monster Hunt," which is the highest grossing Chinese film of all time. The film grossed 55.8 million yuan in the week, bringing its total earnings to 2.39 billion yuan on Aug. 30 since it started showing on July 16. week till 30 Aug # / admissions / change / screenings / admissions total / weeks in release 5 1.191.212 -63 62.647 64.542.409 46 Monster Hunt The check brought me also to this SMALL CITIES COUNT The success of the lesser known directors was not achieved by a stroke of luck, according to Rao Shuguang, secretary of the China Film Association. He said it indicated a delicate change in the industry. Rao attributed the change partly to the spreading of theaters from big cities to small cities and townships. "People in those places do not grow up seeing the films of big name directors like Feng [Xiaogang] and Chen [Kaige]." "Small town audiences do not have a personal touch with big-name directors because they rarely have the chance to attend the promotional activities by renowned directors or shake hands with the famed actors or actress featuring in their works." As many of the cinemas in small cities or townships were closed due to fierce competition from television and reforms within the film industry in the 1990s, most moviegoers in the past one to two decades were urbanites in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. However, the picture has changed. According to a report published by China Film News, by the end of 2014 the total box office of small cities and township had surpassed that of big cities for the first time. YOUNG AUDIENCE IS THE KEY Rao also believes big-name directors failed to win young audiences because youngsters who grew up with the internet were not natural fans. Zhang Yiwu, a film critic who is also a professor with Peking University, agrees. Zhang said the younger generation of directors rose because their works cater to the taste of younger audiences who are more likely to enjoy real-life stories, and comedies in particular. "The generational shift in China's film industry is complete," Zhang said, adding the changing times mean more opportunities for new directors and movie stars. China Film News also revealed that almost 85% of film audiences are aged between 18 and 35, with the group between 18 and 25 taking up 35.77% of the total. "The market has been taken over by young people, who might not be interested in the narrative of older generation of directors," said Rao. He said films made by big name directors like Woo are still of high quality but they might not fit in with current trends. However, the change does not necessarily meant the future for reputed directors is grim. If they adapt to the trend, they can still grab big success, according to Rao. He suggested reputed directors try to blend their personal styles with real-life stories to meet the demand of youngsters. http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20150906000097&cid=1104 (Chinese location, English written) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
