A Marvel Fanboy Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 how do you see Hugo´s performance in China?No idea, but could do 50M yuan if lucky ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezorz Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) No idea, but could do 50M yuan if lucky ?not much. but i guess Hugo, not being made by a big studio is under a flat rate, so even if it grossed a lot of money, producers would not see them. (there are 20+14 imax+3d films allowed in china and 30+10 flat rate films allowed in china, right?) Edited May 3, 2012 by dezorz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(there are 20+14 imax+3d films allowed in china and 30+10 flat rate films allowe in china, right?)Yes. Hugo was bought by Chinese company and no box office share for hollywood producer.

vc2002 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hasbro wants to sell toys. the answer is, why not.i think there are two better questions, why hasbro decided to do it and why universal joined.hasbro has been long in tv business making tv series based on their intellectual properties. not only they make money on such tv shows, these shows also help to sell more hasbro toys. next logical step was movie business. with 3 billion gross from TF franchise, Hasbro feels lucky. GI Joe wasn’t not a success I doubt it broke even but from the fact that there will be a sequel I suppose there must have been increase in G.I.Joe toys sales. Of course, Hasbro is happy to sell Avengers figures and any toys based on popular films, but for such toys they pay a lot of money to license them. By making their own films based on their own figures they make money and increase sales of their own figures and probably they can sell licenses (to make comic books, any other merchandise).but why universal? they are in need for a strong franchise. ok. TF is doing pretty well, so anything which sounds like next TF is a big temptation for them. But did their really had to do Hasbro Battleship? They could have done their own Battleship (based on original story, no need to buy a license for original characters and story). I suppose coproduction with hasbro mitigates potential risk.Unlike Transformers which had lots of characters and stories, Battleship is just a fvcking board game(it is right? I dont know quite much about it). The masssive success of TF trilogy must have made them too confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2002 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) how do you see Hugo´s performance in China?Hugo will be basically another Tintin. No awareness, no appearing stories, no big-names, no nothing. In fact I think it will do even less than Tintin.

Elessar Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It's already at $146m. How can it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 How much will TA's opening affect Titanic this week? Can it still make 150M for the re-release? Actually Titanic and TA will have a close run for #1 this week. Titanic 3D already made 54M yuan in the first 2 days of the week (And 922M yuan/146M by the end of May 2th) and is expected to make 100M yuan for the whole week. Question is Can TA make 100M yuan on Saturday and Sunday ? A tough call, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
