grim22 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) China Mulls Upping Film Quota by 10 (Exclusive) http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/china-mulls-upping-film-quota-678697 Yealy quota lifted from 34 to 44 (?) Great news if true. Not happening: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/11/us-china-film-idUSBREA1A0ER20140211 China dashes Hollywood's hopes for greater access in 2014 (Reuters) - China will maintain its strict quota for imported Hollywood movies this year, rejecting reports it had planned to increase access for U.S. films to the world's second-largest cinema market, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday. The Hollywood Reporter cited a source last week saying the country's film bureau was mulling increasing Hollywood's quota in China to 44 from the current 34 films it allows each year. U.S. studios have been taking steps to appeal to the fast-growing Chinese box office, which hit 21.8 billion yuan ($3.60 billion) last year. Production companies like Viacom Inc's Paramount Picture and DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc have hired Chinese actors and set up co-productions with Chinese firms to make inroads in the mainland market. But China's often draconian film regulators hold a tight grip over the market, controlling the inflow of foreign films in order to protect the box office share of domestic ventures.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 True, it may happen, but doesn't look like it will in 2014. Some do say 2014 will have 44 quota ... THR news is true. Let's wait for next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfantin65 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 We import a trillion dollars of their crap and they limit our exports. No wonder why our economy and currency has gone to hell. I thought Frozen could do 50m + there. No chance now. Could do 100m in Japan though based on S Korea's run. It never had a chance.30m by sunday? Never say never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omni Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Still thinking no more than 35M. Tomorrow half of its showtimes will be lost. If it does 50M, I'll eat my hat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty high score. I thought I remember people were saying it wasn't a good movie? Edited February 13, 2014 by Ay72998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
