Yeah, I was wondering too. As far as I know that series wasn't on Chinese TV's in the (at least farer away) past, why should they be interested?

Very few people know what Snoopy is, and basically no marketing for movie.

[Kung Fu Panda 3, hiring a Chinese script writer and voiceover experts. The Chinese version has its own director, Teng Huatao, who has directed various romantic TV series and films including "Love is Not Blind".

"When you look at the Chinese version of 'Kung Fu Panda 3,' you will feel the film is really made for Chinese audiences. All the characters behave in Chinese ways, it is really original. It looks nothing like a translated English version."

The most outstanding thing this time is the Chinese version was specially made based on Chinese language environment and culture, not just simple dubbing. The dialogue lines and even the animated characters' lip shapes were designed to make it more Chinese rather than making Chinese people feel foreign and exotic.]

I think Fox semi-tried, but fact is they had two films releasing within days of each other.  I'm wondering if they regret pushing for Peanuts now that Scorch Trials got shoved down early Nov...guess not, better to have a flop than see the slot go to another studio and succeed?  Oh and no one in this forum commenting on Everest?

KFP3 is officially certificated as a China-US co produced animated film, the first ever. SARFT directors publicly praised it.

Fox could have submited Fantastic 4 instead of Snoopy and made more money.

What do you think it will make there in USD?  100m? 150m? More? 

 

Really curious how much it makes there because China plays a key role in the film.

I think it's locked to beat Gravity($70m), and possible to come close to Interstellar($120m).

Yea but it is not as slam-bang as Armageddon and not as straight forward as Gravity. In fact I am surprised the less action-oriented Interstellar did $120M, more than Gravity
