cannastop Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I found this blog post by a former Disney entertainment industry professional who lives in China: Quote So, what makes China go “Wilde” for ZOOTOPIA? Western studios hoping to appeal to Chinese audiences with the inclusion of superficial “Chinese elements” should note that ZOOTOPIA contains none whatsoever. Based on my observation in Chinese theaters, scrolling through WeChat posts, and conversations with Chinese colleagues, the appeal of ZOOTOPIA in China (and specifically, to China’s young adult females) appears to be: that it is funny but “real” (anyone who has sat all day in a Chinese bank or bureau gets the sloths); Judy is a relatable heroine (particularly with her parents’ pseudo-supportive encouragement to stifle her dreams); and Nick Wilde is a rakishly charming anti-hero (with a wounded heart in need of redemption, no less). https://kevingeigerblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/22/china-goes-wilde-for-zootopia/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seduh Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 ouch for BvS, Zootopia is going to finish it's run like this (fro tuesday): 9 + 8 + 7 + 12 + 28 +24 = 92. I think it can hit 1.4 billion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lihongkim Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 10 hours ago, Polaroids said: Guo Jingming's L.O.R.D. sets release on Sept. 30th. It's China's first motion capture film. Trailer: Fan Bingbing will battle herself on Sep. 30. I believe her's drama " I'm not Madam Bovary " will release the same day as L.O.R.D. Now we have 3 big movies release on Sep. 30, two Fan Bingbing's movies & one from Jackie Chan (Huang Zitao, Darren Wang & handsome Wang Kai). L.O.R.D will benefit from being the first Chinese motions capture film & its (powerful) young casts (Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Wu Yifan, Chan Weiting, Arif, TFBoys Wang Yuan,...). As we know, GJM movie's quality is so poor (TT1-4), I'm not confident with this one quality either. But within 7 days holiday, its BO won't be that bad, as long as its quality not worse than Tiny Times series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We badly need Jungle Book to be breakout (like a 1B movie, a live action Zootopia...), and both Bodyguard and Hotpot to overperform, plus Finding Mr Right 2 to deliver a satisfying opening ... Enlight's annual youth output Yesterday Once more also needs to perform. My Bro, Miss Partner, Xuan Zang are destinied to flop. Apart from that, we can only afford Winter's War to flop to avoid a flat or declining April ... Edited March 29, 2016 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have LORD, Memory War (easily one of the biggest homegrown fares of 2016 ), North East Past (I dont think this one will breakout) on Sep 30 for October holiday. Jackie Chan-Ding Sheng's Railroad Tigers is said to move to December. The film wont be ready for Sep 30 due to delayed post-production.

I missed this project. The fact of unlimited changing release date make me feel dizzy )-: I think Oct holiday is better for Railroad Tiger. The thing is there are already 2 action-comedy (Andy Lau & Wang Baoqiang) movies plan to release on Dec. 23. The is possible more action-comedy which Shu Qi is the lead role on that OD too. I think no big action- comedy movie release on Sep. 30. Damn! it probably missed it. Did The Great Wall change its release date too? I know its NA release moved to Feb next year.

ttr Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 According to BOM The Good Dinosaur has made 321 M WW. I noticed from other topics, that Disney decided to give Zootopia the China release date instead of TGD. Can anyone make a sophisticed guess that how much TGD could have made in China? I have read that Pixar has fairly bad track reconrd in China, and TGD's RT are not very good (animationwise), so maybe 50 million USD?

Best date of course is Apr 29 but May holiday is always saved for local films. May 6 is still a good enough one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they afraid? It's not like it's going to challenge Mermaid for BO supremacy. At best, it could challenge 300M well below TF4, F7, MH or Mermaid.
