Out of many successful local movies from last year and early this year, what would you guys recommend? I haven't watched a Chinese/Mainlaind movie in ages and I want to restart now since I have free time.

Some recent movies I recommend:

Let the Bullets Fly (2010) by Jiang Wen; If You Are The One 1&2 (2008, 2010) by Feng Xiaogang; A World Without the Thieves (2004) by Feng Xiaogang; The Flowers of War (2011) by Zhang Yimou; Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame (2010) by Tsui Hark.

 

These movies are either B.O hits or entertaining.

Friday:

DH5 $3.55M Cume $6.9M

Looks like Fan Bingbing is trying to go international in a big way--she's got some kind of role (probably a tiny one) in IM3, she signed on for two English-language productions last month, and now she's apparently playing some mutant or other in the next X-Men sequel. Interesting that she's making such an effort to break out abroad when most of the internationally-known Chinese film figures have gone back to China. I assume her language skills have improved since her first English-language movie, where she seemed to be reciting most of her dialogue phonetically and was generally painful to watch.

Thank you very much POLYLOVE   That's a lot of movies, I better start now 

 

How about Chinese Zodiac starring Jackie Chan? Or Lost In Thailand? Would you recommend them?

Good for her if turns out to be true.

I love Jackie when he was in his prime: watch his stuff from the 80s. One of his biggest weakness is portraying women as immature, punching bags to be knocked around.

So two days of tedious work... done.

 

I will do a quick analysis towards DH5 the recent few days:

 

Thu 20M (without 1M previews)

Fri 22M +10%

Sat 32M +45%

Sun 27M -16% (projected)

 

4 days OW 102M $16.4M (projected)

 

Comparison --- TBL

 

 

Thu 15M

Fri 17M +13%

Sat 27M +58%

Sun 23M -15%

 

4 days OW 82M $13M

 

TBL wkn multiplier a little better of DH5. 222M total for TBL, so around 250M total that means. Or $40M.

 

Is that good?

And what are the typical increases sat/sun?

[fmpro]

Thanks

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Looks about 24M Sunday OD for RE5. Could do 180M $28.5m with PROMETHEUS legs. But I would like to put it around $25M or less.

Sun. can't reach 27m, maybe 24m  drop 25% ,so the first week 98m, and around 220m ($35M)

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Also think 27M Sunday a little too optimastic, but I am expecting some extra money to be added from the few days on Tuesday.

[JCS]

It happens ....

 

So it should bomb then, as everyone will already have watched Colombiana in the past 1.5 years online...

Yes. They are all worth seeing. But I'm afraid DVD is not availabe at the moment. CZ12 is said to be released in NA this year.
