More weaker quotas, better for local movies, for the gov..

Detective Conan movies are Japanese? Do they count under the Hollywood quota (like in former South Africa where Japanese were considered white)? In which language are they shown?

firedeep is right that non-English foreign movies are usually dubbed, but the 2011 Detective Conan movie (Quarter of Silence) was released in both subtitled and dubbed versions, and the Japanese import before that (Norwegian Wood) didn't have a dubbed version at all. But Japanese films are so infrequently released in China that it's hard to say whether this was the start of a trend or just a brief experiment. (The only one released in 2012 to date was an Ultraman movie pitched squarely to kids, so it was only shown in a dubbed version.) It makes a certain amount of sense to offer Japanese movies in their original language, since Japanese is the second-most-studied foreign language in China. And if it is a trend, I hope it eventually extends to other languages. I'd like to go to a Chinese cinema and see a Korean film in Korean for once. Edited September 15, 2012 by Bob Violence

How did EXP2 do yesterday in China? Do you think the 6 day will be a drop of less than 55%?

$26M, just guess.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Estimates by the end this Saturday:TDKR $49MTASM $46MTE2 $36MPrometheus $26.5M

[baumer]

excellent. So Expendables is locked for 45. And it looks like 50 is possible.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

$45m should happen easily, $47m likely (300M yuan); $50m remotely possible.Movies always see big drop at the third weeks in China.
