> Great Wall's Thursday previews grossed $970k > Great

Thats almost a million

Is that low or high?

>>79532156
real question is how it did in china

>>79532287
$150 million budget. Double that for marketing. Needs $300 to break even

why is america so racist

>>79532371
So incredibly low then, if it only made a million. that's weird because it's saying it made tons on other news sites.

>lead actor says he doesn't believe in his walls
>audiences don't believe his movie exists

>>79532156
That's just one week day, wait for the combined week-end box office to judge (playing Devils advocate here's cause it looks like shit)

>b-b-but people want to see white people in blockbusters
>n-no one wants niggers

>>79532287
>>79532371
It's very high for a single day before the film has even been officially released you numbnuts. That's why it's "Thursday Previews". It properly opens nationwide tonight.

it still won't do well in the states though. But I 100% expect it to be a massive success in chinkland

>>79532451

>it's about the color of actor's skin, not about the overall appeal of the movie to the general public

Fuck right off.

>>79532451
Fuck off nigger, it's about the movie which is based on a shit idea, not on the actors' genre.

>>79532156
>No American really wants to see Chinks on the big screen.
Honestly it was a stupid move pushing out something like this befor testing the waters for the american audience. Should have made low budget kungfu movies. Honestly there are not enough of those around anymore. This movie honestly looks to blatantly cheesey and not in an endearing American sort of way. But then again its too eary to make any real predictions.

It's the Chinese attempt to make a China movie with some appeal to the West, just like how Transformers 4 and all the other recent action shit insert tons of China for the Eastern audience

>>79532512
>>79532508
Lick clockwork, the hypocrisy of /pol/ is pathetic

For a thursday that's pretty good.

>>79532451
the reason the film is failing is the chinese production/director.

The Chinese are lucky to make one good film every 5 years

>>79532595
*like

>>79532287
For a "preview"? On a Thursday? Impossible to tell unless it's expanded upon.

>>79532659
Why can't the Chinese make a good movie? Do they lack the creative vision?

>>79532659
>the film is failing

Except it's doing exceptionally well, and that is a great thursday opening.

Why are you fucking faggots so retarded?

>make a movie to appeal to both western and eastern audiences
>it's bland as fuck
wow who could have seen that coming

The chinese box office version was just ridiculous.

>>79532723
the reviews are all terrible, i dont care about the financial performance.

>>79532713
because they have zero creativity and most fun concepts would be banned by their government.

their government actually forced chinese review sites to change the (awful) reviews they gave for the film or they would block the sites.

when you work with such a government it's impossible to make something great, just passable will do

>>79532156
It was shit. Matt Damon doesn't get the chinese girl at the end of the movie

>>79532796
>i dont care about the financial performance.
i bet the chinese producers do, though.

>>79532796

This thread is about the financial performance as evidenced by the retarded OP picture and his lack of understanding how film openings work.

>>79532834
the chinese producers are colluding with the chinese government to ensure their film industry is a success, hence why they are censoring any bad reviews of the film and shilling it hard across all media

>>79532854

150 million budget with marketing that may as well double it

970k from previews is garbage

It has already made ~240 million worldwide.

Yes.

ok nobody gives a shit, now let me first reply to this guy who is interested and asking me a direct question about my post

yes, but some are okay. the most annoying are those who scream into their headsets as if the microphone wasnt right next to their mouths.

WEI?? WEI?? NENG TING DAO MA???

All walls are great if the roof doesn't fall

any of the chinese girls get naked in the movie? if no then why even bother

I have literally no idea how much a film is supposed to gross in previews, but a million sounds like quite a lot.

>>79532774
Care to explain?

it has made close to 240 million outside the us, on a 150 million budget. if it makes 100 million in us, i think that would put it up as a financial success? will it make 100 million?

>>79533533
It already is a financial success. The movie is absolute trash though. Everyone laugh at OP and his faggot picture and the fact he took the time to make it. You upset you can't delete your own threads you fucking Obongo loving faggot?

>>79532739
I like how racebaiting is only OK when /pol/ does it when it's about "dem dang ol niggers"

>>79533533
They won't get all the money they made in China, they will get a lot of it because it has a lot of Chinese actors and it had many Chinese production companies, but not all of it.

>>79533757

>muh /pol/

Keep on trying to deflect that you were obviously shitposting and that the movie's failure was inherent to the characters' ethinicities, you brain damaged cunt.

>>79532287

It's very low. Big movies (like this one is trying to be) make over 5 million on Thursday previews. IIRC TDKR, Hary Potter's final movie, and a bunch of Marvel movies crack 7 million on Thursday night showings.

the movie is forecast to make about 15m over the weekend, that's not great.

lego batman is forecast to make more than twice, and it's in its second week.

it's also competing with john wick, which is forecast to fo better.

>>79532156
Who cares it's going to gross like $700 million in China alone.

nah it stopped at 170m, not going to make much more now. maybe a few 100k.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=greatwall.htm

I'm not sure why people give a shit about the performance of some chinese domestic market capeshit that came out months ago and has probably already recouped production costs.

The movie was funded directly by the CCP, filmed by chicoms, directed by a chicom, for the chinese market. They threw in some white faces because it lends legitimacy to their production/industry. Like hey look our chinese film industry is legit we even have big names like matt damon wanting to work for us!

legendary is only in on this shit because they see a buck, hence them opening up legendary east to leverage their sfx assets for easy bucks in the chinese market without having to deal with the 20 foreign film limit. these are the same tards who rewrote world war z and turned it into an idiotic shitfest because they couldn't possibly keep the part about the CCP's organ harvesting of prisoners of conscious and sale of those organs on the black market.

this is partly why the screeching about matt damon whitewashing are absurd. the chinks wanted him in their goddamn movie because the average mainlander is hugely racist and idolizes whiteness.

8/10 op, i got baited.

>>79535996
This, I've had a bootleg DVD of it for months I got in China, it was mediocre and the trollocs looked fake as fuck.

>>79535342
assblasted MRA's who wanted Fury Road to fail, IIRC they were starting to say it needed to make 500 million to cover it's 150 million budget yet sequels are already confirmed

>>79535996
how can they be racist if they want someone who isn't of their people to star in their movies?

>>79536863
racist in a non postmodernist, 3rd wave intersectional feminist way - as in actual racism.

"the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."

as in the chinks value white skin and western products, which is why people are paid in china simply to be white and wear a suit. racism doesn't have to mean discrimination.

t. baited again

>>79532156
FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE

>>79536970
but this is discrimination towards themselves, they're choosing to have a white male as their lead instead of a chink simply because he's white

On a related note, when will chinkpandering end?

>wtf why are there no white people in the black panther movie!
>kek chinks btfo white guys leading role in their movie

>>79537038
yeah, decision making fueled by racist ideologizing of whites/westerners.

they are like reverse weeaboos.

>Spent 120 million for advertising

It needs to make at least 400 million to break even
I can't even believe that shit made over 200 mill in China

>>79537090
I really don't get why people are mad about the black panther movie.
If it ever made sense to have a fully black cast outside of pandering, that's the movie to do it with.

It's not like black Heimdall, which didn't make any sense.

>>79532371
don't forget that they don't get all the money from movie tickets.

in north america is like ~50% and oversea is less than that.

So probably something like 400-500 million to break even.

who would have thought that chinks in bright blue power ranger armor starring in a lotr ripoff wouldn't do well
the most laughable part is that they thought they could copy what americans do with chinese celebs in their films by putting matt damon in a chinese movie

>>79538582
the movie was funded by the communist party (CFGC)

that means that the 220M in domestic revenue went right back to the party. They are the producer and the middleman in this case so it's not like they're losing 50% of the revenue off the top - all of that ends up back with the CCP.

same goes with marketing. how much does it cost for state run tv to advertise a state produced product? when they say it had a 150M budget that could easily include the cost of advertising on CCTV since they probably get either free airtime or preferable rates.

this movie is already a fiscal success for them. they don't need it to do well in the US.

>>79537213
that's enough to make you upset

okay then

>>79535342
Probably nowhere near double that for this particular movie. Only shit like the new Ghostbusters and select others would fall in that category.

>>79532156

fwiw they are no where near as bad as mao, but the party is rife with infighting/corruption and execution as xi is trying to purge all his rivals from previous toad-looking leader jiang zemin.

in terms of civil rights violations they're still awful (see: harvesting organs from the chinese equivalent of scientologists and selling them on the black market) but maybe a smidge better than cultural revolution era murdering of academics.

>>79537159
I'm more angry that people are acting like an all black cast movie didn't exist before Black Panther. I honestly think people want Black Panther to succeed so bad, mostly to destroy Tyler Perry and his hold on black movies.
