RE: the likelihood of FZ tanking at China B.O.

 

 FZ is steeped in European/Germanic mythology which may go over Chinese audience's heads. MU is populated with stuffed animals & Chinese folks were not amused by that. DM2 & CROODS may be animated but they feature human characters (the Minions are exaggerated caricatures).

China's box office went from one of the bright spots and the most interesting 2 or 3 years ago to the most disappointing today :/  I hope people get tired of the shitty native films they're being fed soon.

The Monkey King?  Wow!  That's a massive number.  Is most of the international box office from China?

No, certainly not.

Europe is much bigger now, Latin America is even more fast-growing than China and Russia is pretty good as well.

Yea, but it hasn't been released in Latin America yet according to imdb.  Right now it only lists China, HK, Vietnam as places here it has been released.

Oh! I didn't understand your question.

I thought you asked if China accounts for most of the OS market.

Chinese films always make a big majority of their money from China.

Question, when does the Chinese New Year holiday season end in China?

[Incarnadine]

Good or bad, this thread will get a lot more interesting tomorrow...

[Olive]

The theater I alway go to only has 2 dubbed showings for Frozen tomorrow...

[alee7915]

Although Frozen is getting less screens but I believe theaters will give more screens to Frozen if Frozen is doing good business in China!
