China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

[Issac Newton]

I heard that US sanctioned China again on human rights as Firstpost reports. More bad days are coming for future Hollywood movies that are planned to release in China. While, this is not the first time, because US has also boycott 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. I think US should withdraw those allegations &sanction immediately before diplomatic ties get more severe, affecting the Hollywood biggest Overseas market...

Why would they remove sanctions for the sake of movies? International box office has thrived without China and will do again

If so, then we will no longer be seeing anything above $2000M for a while until Avatar 2. Verdict are dependent on US but this things isn't going well in favour of Hollywood. If this thing continue then Chinese fans will no longer see their favourite Hollywood movies. At least, I could say that it's not fair that there is an any effort from US to escalate their matter. Because, at the end, Chinese fan and it's Distributor are at lost, not the Govt. Of US.

Actually, I have misbelief in what people says about violations of Human rights in China. I have visited China many times and it's just a part of my work, while never experience/see what Intern. Media are reporting. So I can say that there is an agenda, pushing a certain POV in articles. Well, not my issue, but false alerts should be stop. That's all. Because this will not do any good to US. Sorry incase if anyone is offended.

Oh for fucks sake, it's not just human rights and that wasn't at all what I was on about. You know what, I can't be arsed to argue, you're very blind evidently to what's going on so I'm going to get the fuck out of here. 

[Issac Newton]

Firefiles in the Sun broke ¥200M today with ¥100M Sat (Still counting) I expect this work to pass ¥300M+ by end of Sun. And a possibility of breaking ¥1000M with Strong WeekDays. I Am What I Am add ¥18M so far, for a cumulative total of ¥43M. Looks more like a OW of ¥80M. While cumulative total of The Battle At Lake Changin reached ¥5763M.

Naive to think that the US would be displaced as No. 1 economically without a fight. 

I mean they launched economic warfare on Japan, in the 1990s, too. 

A country who it military occupies and is the biggest ally in region.  

They'd probably do it to India or Nigeria as well, if they were in China's position. 

It's not personal. It's just a dog eat dog world.

Thanks for your clarification, I just got in confusion when the above user used *redacted* comments which is much like a personal attack.

Indian movies were unofficially banned due to border issues so its good to see indications that things might be returning back to normal in this case. 
 

As for Hollywood movies, they too will return despite the olympics issue like how China allowed South Korean and Japanese movies despite having banned them in the past. How long this will take is unknown but it will happen I think.
