Batman is extended till May 17th in China (surely so cinemas start to open and make a few million) and.. I think the WB doing this for Batman will do this for Fantastic Beasts 3 also ice which is good news for both of them movies.

 

 

WB isn’t who makes the decision of whether a film gets an extension in China.

WB n'est pas celui qui décide si un film obtient une extension en Chine.

When there will be an announcement, certainly some user will post an update on this forum. You don't need to predict the years. Also, it isn't an issue as other Hollywood, including French, German, Korean, Japanese, Indian, including Russian films are getting released...

Without marvel this is not gonna  be competitive as world’s number 1 market tbh. Not that the CCP really cares in grand scheme of things.

I mean China and US/Can are the only two markets that compete so by default they are competitive and as long as they allow other big tentpoles like Jurassic World, Avatar, etc in they will have a chance

My comment was clearly sarcastic.

 

Still weird China just outright excluding Marvel movies. I think Marvel might have  a ban for some years from there. 

 

Also. I don't care if China is releasing Hollywood movies there, when most are movies that are failing or are already in pvod or streaming. Some exceptions ofc.

Any info on FB3 reception/boxoffice?

Not enough reviews yet for a rating.   
 

As I expected the OD is falling a bit short of Maoyan projections. I think my sub 20M total call from a while ago will pan out.

[Legion Again]

And fwiw no end in sight to covid growth over here. Right now Shanghai is still the big hotspot but it’s definitely a covid affected BO that could get worse at any time — and probably will.

[ImNotRacistAtAll]

Thanks.

Yeah. Situation doesn't look better.

With that stupid policy, yeah no kidding.

6.7/10 on Douban.

 

Worst for the franchise.

Not bad at all with 43% cinémas still open.

8.7 on Maoyan.

Regarding China ban of the big Hollywood movies... here's what I don't get. 

 

What is China main goal with all of this? Is it to have the biggest movie of the year be one of theirs? Or just be the biggest market in the world? Or both? 

 

Because biggest movie of the year is just something they don't have range to. Hollywood will always have the biggest movie of the year in normal years. They should just drop that thought, if it's one they have. 

 

Now, to be the biggest market in the world? Like in 2021?? That's something entirely possible till the end of times. But here's what I don't understand. How they want to be the biggest market in the world without the huge Hollywood blockbusters income? They could have led 2021 by an even bigger margin. 2021 was a weak year still. Recovery and experimenting one. Hollywood is coming back strong this year. And big ones are yet to come. 

 

Am I missing something? The money made in China by Hollywood movies count as China gross in the end of the year right? 

 

So why not release the big blockbusters? Why are they releasing flops? 

 

And I know everything is fucked there right now so whatever. But even before the covid outbreak. Specially before the new covid outbreak. 

 

Because I can tell you all right now, and I would bet my bank account on this, Doctor Strange will never get a release date there. No matter how bad things are, they are still running everything with what's open. 

 

Genuine questions because I don't know much. Is there anything going on China? What is China main goal in the movie market?
