I am more worring about that than you ... 

Lol

[Fullbuster]

I'm not worried, IM3 is a blockbuster with Chinese actors in it + A good ad campaign.

IM3 will be a success in China, nothing can stop it, it's fate

[Olive]

What is So Young about? Why are you guys seeing it as a big threat?

A teen love story stars very famous Chinese actors.

Thanks Olive! Wow, I just quickly googled it, the movie stars Han Geng (former Super Junior member who has quite a big fanbase in China) and Mark Chao too. Not to mention it's Zhao Wei's directorial debut  That's a serious threat to IM3 for sure

It is also a popular young novel adapation. already has super crazy buzz and reviews. More, it targets directly at the 80s/70s, who are right now the main cinema audience force here.

I'll so pissed, if IM3 flops in China. Marvel has put too much effort for it to flop but if it does then, I doubt they'll continue to co-produce.

If IM3 turns into a great success in China. It will be a very good thing. Since it will encourage more Hollywood studios to produce big movies with China's various entertainment companies, which will only be helpful to build a better and stronger film market for China.

IM3 is the litmus test. What would you consider success? 70, 80 or more?

$80M

Bad news for IM3.

 

 

At this point, it is almost a certainty that So Young will explode out of big, maybe $100M, maybe $120M, maybe more. Pre-release screenings are extremely positive with some claiming it is one of the best Chinese language films.

 

Still, IM3 has'not got a date. Though rumors poping out indicates a post-Labor Day Holiday release (May 4). If that is any close to be true, IM3 is doomed.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

In most main Chinese media plantforms, the buzz for So Young is almost doubling that of IM3, if not more.

[chenguonk]

I also notice the buzz for So Young. However, I never understand the hype for it. At least, as a 80s, I have no interest in it, while my wife, a die-hard fan of Princess Pearl, also shows no interest. 

 

Anyway, hopefully IM3 can have a date soon.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I have no interest in it either.

[Sam]

That really sucks! If that's the case, then the co-production is as useless as it can be

[POLYLOVE]

Good. If IM3 flops then there won't be so many co-productions in the furture.

 

It's weird and uncomfortable to see Chinese actors and Chinese content in Hollywood movies.

Yep, the goal of the co-prod was to help the growth in China. I hope China won't disappoint us about IM3.

Thankfully the growth will be substantive in Russia, but the potential there is not that big.

Yes, it's ture. Many Chinese share the same feelings with me.

I read the comments on Mtime back when it was announced that Fan Bingbing was only in the Chinese version. Something like 7 out of 10 commenters thought the whole thing was a dumb idea. Chinese viewers know when they're being pandered to.
