We have seen TDKR yet so their small chance it might.

Maybe but THG which is releasing has revolution, tyranny and freedom as part of it's themes.

[iceroll]

If they release THG that means there's a better chance for them to release CF, and that movie would basically go against everything about China's government.

[SentryTrans]

Revolution, tyranny and freedom?These were the main reasons why Chinese people chose this government in 63 years ago.

[Olive]

Inside source said it was not because of the theme or the script, just for the sake of local film protection.

[John Marston]

they should try to find a way they can get it released eventually if not right away.

I was counting on TDKR being released in China... My summer game is screwed.

[fmpro]

Yes, bad news:WB delivered TDKR to Sarft today and the result is Sarft do not agree to release TDKR in China. :( :(

I will win another bet on that news

MIB3 Killing it. Do you think it can out do The Avengers.

[Rudolf]

How do the Chinese like Japanese or European animated movies?

No chance. 80M is where MIB3 will finish. TA is at 90M.

How do the Chinese like Japanese or European animated movies?

We really dont. Dreamworks, Pixar and Blue Sky sold the best in China.

Hunger Games is opening this week, right? What kind of numbers can we expect from China?

Yes, June 14th.Looks THG will take about 30% of the screen numbers (3,000+/10,000).I have it at $10M+ 4 days opening and around $30M finishes.

Terrible legs.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Terrible legs.

Not at all. Very few films can manage 3x or more multiplier from 4 days opening in China.

[Cedarpoint1111]

That wouldn't be awful... Its too bad Catching Fire will never be allowed there since it will probably explode OS.

[RTX]

THG had 3.6 multiplier in HK, 2.9 multiplier in Singapore, and those markets are more frontloaded. Of course, the Chinese government can always decide to pull it from theaters after the OW, but otherwise I expect it to have a very leggy run.

THG OW in China is 4 days, which should make a difference.

[RTX]

I dunno. Even TF3 finished with 175M after 62M 4-day.
