>Hopes of besting James Cameron's Avatar seem to be about as dead as Han Solo as Chinese audiences aren't as receptive to Star Wars: The Force Awakens as their Western counterparts.
>Star Wars: The Force Awakens has just about crushed every box office record there is, which led to speculation the J.J. Abrams-directed film might pass Cameron's mammoth $2.78 billion worldwide gross from 2009's Avatar.
>However, that is not going to happen as Star Wars: The Force Awakens is "falling faster than expected in China."
>Now it's even questioned if Star Wars will surpass Titanic ($2.18 billion).
>Forbes notes in China, Star Wars is peforming ($150 million) less than: Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($165m), Avatar ($209m), Jurassic World ($228m), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($240m), Transformers: Age of Extinction ($320m), and Furious 7 ($390m).
>While Disney did market the movie in China, the article notes that the movie may be considered a "rip off" by the Chinese as they are new to Star Wars and have seen similar movies like it in the past 35 years.
JJ ON SUICIDE WATCH
The site just spoiled Han's death kek
I do have to wonder how the movie would be doing if a white or Asian man was the main character. The Chinese have extremely little exposure to the lore of the franchise so that wouldn't be a deal breaker one way or the other.

>>64889776
So what gimmick is Cameron going to use to sell his next flick newfriend?
>>64888267
Why does /tv/ think there's some kind of competition between cameron and other directors, like they're not all subservient to the hollywood jew?

Lesson over now back to reddit.

>>64889830
Personally it annoys me when people are on board the circle-jerk hype train and spouting wild speculations such as TFA achieving 3 billion dollars. IRL and on the web I was skeptical and responses where "ur wrong SW wiil beat faggy Jim cameron lol" Currently I smile every time I think TFA will never have a chance to beat Avatar.

Love these stories.
One minor was I remember fondly was in the making of Avatar dvd. Jim hired a professional archer to consult on the film. Jim had the idea of the Na'vi shooting the bow with just 3 fingers and the archer thought it was impossible, so Jim proving him wrong shoots a arrow fairly far with that method and archer shut up'd after that.
>>64888555
holy shit, Jim save us!
>>64889745
Are you retarded?
TFA is flopping in Asia thanks to Boyega. And it's not doing so great everywhere that's not US and UK for the same reason.

At this point I'm fairly certain TFA won't even catch titanic. But still buying star wars for 4bilion$ might be the greatest deal of all time. There is literally no way they don't make that money back. As close to 0% chance as you can get.

Sounds cool. Like when?
>>64890768
Because Jim is more than just his films.
Jim stories are the best way for you to have faith in the Jim, heres one.
One of the stunt rats on The Abyss actually stopped breathing during the sequence where it was supposedly submerged in liquid oxygen, so Cameron revived it with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He kept the rat as a pet until its natural death a year later.
>>64889629
nei nei uh... that army guy and jackie chan
fuck
The Force Awakens, Titanic, Transformers movies, Avatar, Jurassic World , Avengers movies, Harry Potter, and Furious 7 are my favorite movies because they made the most money
the amount of money made is directly proportionate to the quality of the movie in case you didn't know
>>64890649
Your point?
I guess based chinks dont eat shit up like us
>>64890960
Jim films don't follow conventions.
>>64889365
The fact is that Chinese audiences just don't give a shit about Star Wars.
We still have the OT at least..

It's still making money.
"James Cameron learned of Federico del Toro’s kidnapping and without hesitation he immediately sought out his old friend and took him directly to a bank where he handed him over $1 million in cash. Not content with his good deed for the day, James Cameron then even recommended a negotiator that would help get Guillermo del Toro’s father home safely."
>>64890894
someone is gonna have to link you to it, but apprently, Kate Winslet asked in regard to a titani stunt "So im gonna be this high off of [something] and where are YOU gonna be?!" "50 feet above you holding a camera on a plank"(basically a more precarious place)

Chinese social networks are also responding negatively to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
>“If a science fiction film lacks imagination then what makes it different from a soap opera? The story was completely in service to fans of the original trilogy and it only relied on razzle-dazzle effects. The most laughable element is that all the force in the galaxy could belong to one family. Creating nostalgia while introducing a new conceptual story doesn’t have to conflict.”
>>64891122
>James Cameron had the high ground
>While Disney did market the movie in China, the article notes that the movie may be considered a "rip off" by the Chinese as they are new to Star Wars and have seen similar movies like it in the past 35 years.

>>64890768
He can literally every person's job on the set better than them, except for the actors. He designed the Alien Queen and the T-800 by himself, writes his own scripts, pioneers special effects, is a fucking real life EXPLORER, is on the board for NASA's future Mars missions, is friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and despite all this, still has some of the best sci-fi/action movies ever made AND top 2 grossing movies of all time under his belt.

So yeah, keep posting babies in all Cameron threads. It's very appropriate.
It doesn't surprise me that China doesn't like Star Wars. There weren't a lot of Asian countries, and when the original movies were released, how well did they do over there? I doubt the Prequels were popular either. Maybe someone has that information?
