bofan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Yup, Roland Emmerich's 2012 will have a China exclusive 3D re-release in late November. Whats your prediction? 31 M is too much (for 800 WW ) ,IMO!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Violence Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 As I mentioned a few pages earlier, Bait 3D seems to have obtained some relatively unusual status from SARFT. The certificate didn't show the usual "电审进字," and in fact it was a type I don't recall ever seeing before. Unfortunately I couldn't catch exactly what it was, though I think it had the character "乙" in it somewhere. I assume it's some sort of co-production status. Entgroup actually has it listed as a "China/Australia" production, which is interesting, since most English-language sources have it as an Australian-Singaporean production with no mention of Chinese involvement.

The Toymaker Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think there are going to be a lot of dodgy co-productions coming in the next few years simply because China has made it harder for non-co-productions to get a release here, so the co-production route gives them an entrance to one of the biggest markets in the world.

Bob Violence Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 What makes it really dodgy here is that it's happening almost immediately after Looper was denied full co-production status at practically the last minute, ostensibly because it wasn't Chinese enough. Looper still got perks a normal import wouldn't have received -- mainly the Golden Week release date -- but it received a normal import certificate and China Film Group still served as the distribution authority (there is no CFG credit on Bait 3D). So a film that nobody regarded as a Chinese co-production until now apparently receives special treatment denied to a film with genuine and substantial Chinese production involvement. It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Bait 3D gamed the system, which is impressive for what's basically a direct-to-video-caliber film (and was in fact a direct-to-video film in the U.S.). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Whats your prediction? 31 M is too much (for 800 WW ) ,IMO!?No legit prediction without a clear release date. We don't even know if it will be a wide release or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be in a special status, not a legit co-production either a full importation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toymaker Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Things change fast in China. Ain't that the truth! The Expendables and The Expendables 2 were only decided to be released 1 week before their release date. Talk about excitement!! I too want good things for Wreck-It Ralph. That movie seems to have its heart in the right place. And yes, I do like Twilight, but I wouldn't call myself a fan. I don't read the books, and I thought BD1 was the worst of the series. Not going to see it then, firedeep? or maybe you will, but not tell us about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
