Very bad for TFA.

Boonie Bears record will be destroyed in 13 days...

Bad news: Deadpool is dead, didnt pass SARFT's censorship

Don't know whether this is actually bad or good since with Cap Am 3, Dr Stranger, Sucide Squad and BvS coming out this year, and so many other superhero movies.. I don't think Chinese will miss Deadpool that much. =)

BTW do you think SW:TFA will outgross Detective Chinatown? I certainly hope not, just base on the quality of films themselves.

I thought Saturday increased from Friday close to 100% for most films. Why such a low increase for SW7?

Maybe due to loss of screens

Not all movies bump 35/70 or 40/100 on fri/sat. Depends on age demo. AOU and spidey bumped like that but FF7 and MI5 were close to 20/50% like SW7

It's Alpes suger.

 

But KFP3 has nothing to do with turning the tide of HLW woes ... because it's a local movie (an official China-US coproduced one to be exact)... box office will be counted as domestic in China.

 

I believe Western media would still report it as a HLW film. But this is an interesting point that I missed. I guess a lot more films may be produced in this arrangement.

Which movie do you think is gonna win? Kung Fu Yoga sounds eh.. but Jackie Chan is in it.

Such a big year of Andy Lau, 4 big movies a year. Macau 3/Feb, The Bodyguard/March, The Great Wall & 王牌逗王牌. I'm sure he wills be The King of 2016.

WOM in China for SW7 is now very negative, and people claiming never to watch another SW movie again, I am really fearful for Rogue One and Ep8 now. SW7 did not successful introduce the franchise to Chinese audiences, and infact may deter audiences.. =( 

Wooow  They may never watch another SW movie again? Ironically, they would love to see more films like Transformers, Fast and Furious, Monster Hunt......The Quality of Movie Industry is lost, if China is the next salvation for many films.

Oh, c'mon. It's not just China. TF is bigger thatn SW in other OS markets as well. FF in a hell lot of markets. That doesn't mean you have better taste than billions of other people.

No need to panic. Online reactions tend to be extreme.
