They also don't do their justice to their nationalities. To MCU's defense they generally give minorities african american, Chinese and Hispanic characters there due.... by having them as sidekick to their main lead hero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidensSword Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 1 hour ago, TigerPaw said: Issue here is that casting someone with non-chinese heritage maybe make people feel that Disney thinks all Asians are the same, as long as they appear yellow. Which seems like what you are thinking. Once again, not sure about your background or your social circle, but from what I am seeing on my side of the world and social media, the dream/fan casting here is someone with Chinese heritage. Honestly.. re-read what you are saying. I'm well aware of what I'm saying, I replied to your argument and I thought I'd made my differing opinion and the reasons behind it relatively clear. Anyway, since we aren't getting anywhere and you aren't addressing any of my points in return then it's better to agree to disagree or at least put this discussion on hold until we get more concrete casting information.

imbruglia Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 BP's Wakanda is fantasy country with fantasy culture while sang chi's are not. the nationality is huge part of character. but yeah, it has very complicated issue going on as you said. unless they cast china local act who can speak english, there will be some criticsism. or china american/canadian ish who can speak chinese and close to their culture would be second best choice. It will be interesting If marvel really do care china audience and put effort or.. just do as usual like CRA way. this is why sang chi is not good choice for mcu. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was already announced along with the Chinese release date, but there was also talk that it could get picked up by more cinemas depending on it's performance in it's limited run. Such as here https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bohemian-rhapsody-gets-surprise-permission-china-release-1191060 "If Bohemian Rhapsody proves a commercial hit during the early days of its limited run, however, theater operators may well expand its screen count — there will be no go-to mechanism of restriction once it's already in cinemas." Was that incorrect reporting? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Captain Marvel - 21.8M / 965.7M +128% CM will be 980+ after Sunday with a ~47 weekend. 1020-1025 finish I guess ($152+). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Charlie called the big Sat bounce pretty accurately, 50M weekend forecast will be pretty close. Still pulling for China+Japan to hit 180 but think it will fall a bit short. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Seems like ¥18-20mn Sunday for Cap. That would be ¥50-52mn weekend and ¥985mn total. It shall add another ¥20mn in weekdays to end Week 3 at ¥1005mn. In its final week (5 days only considering new releases on April 3rd), will add another ¥50mn. ¥1055mn full run, i.e. $158mn Approx. 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the end, CM will have a multiplier more befitting of its 8.7 Maoyan rating. The way it was bleeding in the 1st week, you'd think it has a 7.9 or 8 in Maoyan.

UserHN Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 When will Dumbo open in China? Maybe the Chinese will like it because from what I've seen in the trailer, it's quite emotional and full of family themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
