The day he steps infront again, I can't imagine what the box office results will be. He was supposed to play Show Luo's role in Mermaid. Who knows, he might appear in Journey..

He was supposed to be the director and main cast, playing the role of "Kato" in the Green Hornet movie. But due to creative differences, he left, apparently Sony executives said he had crazy ideas about aliens and stuff and they couldn't accept it. So Green Hornet went on to look for another "Chou/Chow" guy and found Jay Chou, who pretty much killed the movie. lol. I believe the movie would have been so much better if Stephen Chow was in it, and he would be more mainstream in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His influence is still intact, especially when you take into account that he won accolades for his acting in Mr Six and that was a box office hit.

Thanks Olive. But I was looking for Top-10 or even Top-5 for each year...... I am in the mood for watching some Chinese movies and need to see which ones I have missed.

To be honest, that jay chou guy who played kato was the best thing of that movie. It's just that the movie was mediocre. Stephen is waiting for a Hollywood project. I think they should have hired him as director for Dragonball but instead he was the producer and hardly had any role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigley Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Nice sum up for biggest single-day on record: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/china-box-office-mermaid-powers-863257 Also I have to say I'm satisfied that Kung Fu Panda 3 is already crashing. DreamWorks should just quit making movies cuz the vast majority is somewhere between ridiculous and pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTUS 2020 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Mermaid not going to drop much today.

LI XUELIAN, which like Mr Six is a drama, should be a hit, topping Mr Six is possible but it wont beat TGW or Mermaid. LeVP distributing TGW. its is a terrible distributor like ODW so lets hope it doesn't pull a KFP3… 50 minutes ago, No Prisoners said: Mermaid not going to drop much today.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 production budget: MK2- 300m Macau3- 200m, including paychecks for the stars but not box office bonus for Chow and the producers Mermaid- 180m, Chow paycheck 200m MK2 has the highest marketing budget for any local title but it wont do 1B at this rate so Filmko could lose money on it. it should have chosen a summer release and would have little problem becoming the summer bo champnion…MK2 fell due to a false pick of release date, similar to KFP3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
