vc2002 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 TDKR will destroy TASM in direct competition, it will completely crush it.Spydey will become "LORAX" to Batman's "IA4".Thinking about 90M and 40M respectively.If TDKR didnt completely destory and crush TASM in the US, how the hell will it do it in China?

RTX Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I doubt that being a family flick is going to help Spidey's fortunes in China. You can take kids to Batman too. Most people will have to make a choice, and at the end of the day TASM is simply not appealing enough. TDKR is the first Batman movie ever to be released in China, from the director of Inception no less. TASM is kinda just there, there's no must-see factor to it.

Fullbuster Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 TASM beat TDKR in Russia, it will beat it in China too.These 2 emerging countries don't have the same way of thinking than Western countries, some people here don't understand this.

dezorz Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 China’s Leading Movie Production Companies http://chinafilmbiz.wordpress.com/2012/07/29/chinas-leading-movie-production-companies/ There are several thousand licensed production companies in China (more than 1,500 in Beijing alone), so outsiders need systematic ways to narrow their lists of potential collaborators down to manageable size. One such method is to measure companies by their respective market shares. That’s my purpose here ‘Ice Age 4’ Crushes China Box Office Records http://chinafilmbiz.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/ice-age-4-crushes-china-box-office-records/ After a four-week SARFT-mandated absence from Chinese movie screens, American films roared back during the weekend ending July 29th, with three new releases seizing a 56 percent share of the national box office. Topping the charts, and breaking China’s opening weekend record for animated features was Twentieth Century Fox’s Ice Age 4: Continental Drift, which debuted to nearly $21 million in its first three days, easily surpassing prior record-holder Kung Fu Panda 2′s China debut by a wide margin. Ice Age 4’s take in its first three days nearly equaled the gross for the entire 2009 run of its predecessor, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

RTX Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 TASM beat TDKR in Russia, it will beat it in China too.These 2 emerging countries don't have the same way of thinking than Western countries, some people here don't understand this.Russia and China are two very different markets. The only thing they have in common is the rate of growth. That's it. And TDKR can still beat Spidey's total. Remember it had 70% second weekend drop.

Olive Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I think TASM and TDKR will both make 80-100M in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The cynical joke about Hollywood is that it no longer makes movies, just release dates. China doesn't seem to have got that memo yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I doubt that being a family flick is going to help Spidey's fortunes in China. You can take kids to Batman too. Most people will have to make a choice, and at the end of the day TASM is simply not appealing enough. TDKR is the first Batman movie ever to be released in China, from the director of Inception no less. TASM is kinda just there, there's no must-see factor to it. You were wrong about Spidey. And so here about Batman. Two batman films had been released here: Batman begins 20.7M yuan ($2.5M) 2005 Batman and Robin 20M yuan ($2.4M) 1998 Here it is the top 15 grossed SH movies in China: http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/4112-the-overseas-gross-archive-for-superhero-movies-country-by-country/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Doesn't matter. Chinese market was virtually non-existent before 2007 (for foreign films at least). Very few people in China saw Begins and B&R, so for most of them this will be the first Batman film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 In most of the countries surrounding China like Russia, Japan, India, Philippines etc. TASM will beat TDKR.China will more likely than not follow suit. TASM might lose but it is not gonna be 'crushed'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 FYI Xiayun himself said TDKR has a big advantage over TASM. He is quite good at tracking china BO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 FYI, Journey 2: the Mysterious Island made 65+M with 3D. And TDKR will most likely be released after end of Summer Holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Remember the 2D Mi4 reached 100m so 100m for Rises isn't completely out of the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 There is one thing we can be fairly confident about: when TDKR finally comes out in China, Spidey's box office will drop 70%+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
