China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

[Ay72998]

So "Fleet of Time", a Chinese teen drama based on a best selling novel and directed by Zhang Yibai, is going to have a opening day of estimated 55 million yuan      , and that is not including the 20 million+ yuan it got during last Saturday's preview.  Pretty stunning box office!

 

It just goes to show that Chinese audiences love nostalgic films about the high school/college years and loss of innocence (see So Young, My Old Classmate).  Even John Woo is no match!

 

And John Woo and his screenwriter Wang Hui-ling probably should have figured out that a war film (The Crossing) about the Kuomingtang's defeat and Taiwan isn't going to interest most Chinese audiences that much nowadays.   Had Woo made the film into a comedy and put Huang Bo in it...now that would be box office gold!

Just realized that Fleet of Time is an Enlight Pictures production.   Those guys sure knows how to make hits, after So Young, My Old Classmate, The Breakup Guru...
