Bait is in our local papers for how well it is doing in China

They speak the right point:

''I think that success owes something to the fact that not many movies like this have been released in China before - movies like

Jaws

and even

Poseidon Adventure

haven't really been seen by most people there.''

A sequel to this is planned.

Life of Pi 11.22/11.27 (US)

Upside Down 11.30 (CA)

I'm there!

Just booked my ticket for The Bourne Legacy too.

2012 3D just dated Nov. 21 in 3D. A wide release. Its close date will be 2012.12.21, the world's end date. ...

[Ball Lightning]

Massive marketing opportunity? And due to its relevance could explode?

[The Toymaker]

That is marketing brilliance.Not going to watch it, though.

Milla Jovovich‘s RE5 looks not getting a 2012 release but her DTV movie Faces in the Crowd will be released on Nov. 13.

If this is true, then I won't be happy! Why can't it get released in November, I don't think there's any big 3D films coming out, so there shouldn't be any problem? It has a date of November 1st on Entgroup, and with Afterlife they announced that very close to the date as well, so we'll have to wait and see.

[The Toymaker]

If this is true, then I won't be happy! Why can't it get released in November,

Because of the quota.

[StephenN18]

What is the quota? I don't get it?

[The Toymaker]

China are only releasing a certain amount of foreign movies in one year and the quota for this year is full. More details about it in the first post of this thread.

[StephenN18]

Well, the years not over yet, and they could still release it in China. Rules can be changed, so i'm still hoping it'll come out.

You are totally lost here, man.This year's 34 quota for revenue sharing movies is full. And the rule is not going to change for next few years... Not to mention this Nov. is aready full of 3D movies (check the schedule at the first post of this page).I think RE5 will go to Jan 2013 or even March..

‘Life of Pi’ Rounds Up Final China Rev-Share Slot of 2012

A big strike against Life of Pi’s China prospects is that it will have a narrow window in which to release. The film goes out wide in the U.S. on November 21^st, and since SARFT will impose another blackout on foreign films in December, the Ang Li picture will have to go pretty much day-and-date in China if it is to make any waves there. The film’s release will also be hampered by torrid competition from other imports, with The Bourne Legacy, Roland Emmerich’s 2012 3D re-release, Rise of the Guardians, Wreck-it Ralph, Twilight Breaking Dawn 1, and South Korea’s Deranged all expected to debut in late October and November (the distributors of all these films will be relieved that Resident Evil 5 will not be releasing). Throw in the Chinese blockbusters Taichi II and Feng Xiaogang’s Back to 1942 and you’ve got the makings of a wild and wooly November.
