THE MUMMY WRAPS BIG RETURNS IN CHINA

>>83796520
>WRAPS BIG RETURNS
That's not even a fucking pun.

I'm glad Cruise films are doing well. He deserves it tbhq+

anybody how much is the average for a ticket in china? 19m doesn't seem that much for a country that big

>>83796520
Maybe Scientology isn't bad

>>83796520

Is that huge for China?

I've said it before, but after FF8 China will be deciding what Hollywood makes instead of the US

>>83796669
damn, they made a movie for final fantasy 8?

Why would anyone want this movie to do poorly?

Tom is one of the nicest working actors in Hollywood, he's just a bit weird.

He was fucking amazing in magnolia

>>83796693
Maybe it's because it's a shit movie.

>>83796520
So people can see why Hollywood is basically totally reliant on China right? Keep an eye out for movies that cosy up to them.

>>83796520
>chinks love bloated cgi shitfests
wow bob wow

>>83796520
Turns out the rest of the world has better tastes than americucks.

A mummy or pirate movie, no matter how bad, will always be better than capeshit and garbage like WW.

Warcraft did better

>>83796520
Of course it did great. This movie was engineered to do well overseas. It's basically a marketing project in the form of a movie.
>>83796693
Because it's a shit movie meant to launch another 'cinematic universe' of terrible movies lacking substance entirely, meant only to set up the next cross-over. It checks off almost everything on the 'what's wrong with Hollywood' list.
>remake
>cinematic universe
>geared for overseas success with tuns of pointless exposition in the form of a voice-over that can be dubbed to have an entirely different, culture-specific meaning
>terrible story

This movie is pure exploitative capitalism and I'm not saying that capitalism is a bad thing: it isn't. But when it masquerades as art, it should be shit on.

>Being such a failure and a has been that your movies no longer do well in America

>Being such a loser and a former star that you have to pretend to be happy about doing well in China

His career is truly over

>>83796638
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 opened with 49.4 million, so 19m sounds kinda bad.

>>83798407
There's absolutely nothing wrong with having success overseas, other than that i agree with everything

>>83798491
49 over the weekend, which was meh for GotG and Cruise is BTFOing them

>can't show Ghostbusters in Chiba because ghosts
>The Mummy is fine, though

Overseas is the only place that still values white people like Tom as lead actors.

>>83798509
I agree completely. There's nothing wrong with it as long as that movie achieves that success because it's a good movie. The problem is, this movie was designed specifically for that purpose and it's so fucking obvious.

It's a bad sign, that Hollywood is just going to start completely gearing movies towards success in China.

somebody care to explain how a 19mil friday translates to a $90m and $121m weekend?

>>83796520
>19 million
That's not even impressive in the US.

>>83798558
He actually said final gross, not weekend

>>83798536
Just realized it's 90-120 million final gross

So it's actually on par with GotG

>>83796520
big returns in little china

>>83798551
The real problem is the kind of movies fucking China likes. A successful film in Europe is very different.

>>83797149
>>83797226
Every movie that is an empty vehicle for a new 'cinematic universe' is absolutely the same as capeshit, you massive retard.

>>83798407
I think cinematic universes can be alright, Kevin Smith did it with his films for a while before he started making hot garbage like Yoga Hosers, but it shouldn't be the sole reason behind making a movie like this seems to be doing, maybe as an afterthought, like a cameo or an easter egg.

>implying monster crossovers are anything new
>bored millenials and gen z complain about this for some reason because they don't know better

>>83796520
why does china have such awful taste in movies

>>83798656
Cinematic universe is actually a great idea for Hollywood but you need to make good films first for it to work.

>>83798700
China is where movie careers go to die

>>83798700
peasants who never got the chance of watching movies previously in history

>>83798700
Mao killed all the smart Chinese decades ago and now theres billions of poor retards who love transformers and other movie pieces of shit

>>83798656
I don't think Kevin Smith set out to create a cinematic universe with crossover between his movies.

The Mummy and a lot of the capeshit movies just feel like they were created by a bunch of marketing guys and executives in suits sitting around a table, dictating what might be the most successful thing. They just feel so lifeless and uninspired.

>it's an Americucks pretend only China has shit taste in movies episode

did anyone else watch Dracula untold? It was so fucking boring. Since that flopped why are they trying to make this monster movie verse again?

>>83798905

>>83798696
Those movies weren't soulless vehicles made for the soul purpose of cross-overs with nothing but making money overseas in mind. Don't be retarded with the strawman.

>>83798407
I partially agree with you, anon. I think the concept of cinematic universes could work if executed correctly but I hate lazily half-assed movies that solely exist for promotion. Marvel started off okay but ran into problems rushing into phase 2 and 3.

>Why are the chinese so retarded, seriously?
sic-fi was banned under Mao

after realising how retarded their culture had become under communist despotism, the politburo sent delegations out, around the world, to try to find out why

they discovered that banning sci-fi (i.e., avenues for creativity), retarded their evolution

hence, sci-fi (etc.) was made legal and now they've opened up their market to hollyschlock

>Americucks mad that the Chinese don't eat up capeshit and nigger pandering like they do and prefer generic action flicks

No just ghosts and spooky skeletons.

That's not surprising, seeing as /tv/ats defend both fast and the furious and transformers all the time.

>>83801463
>>83801504
Not only that but it's fairly easy for them to dub over Russell Crowe's narration so her backstory is less of ghost-sounding and maybe more about magic or elemental forces or some shit.

>>83798866
>I don't think Kevin Smith set out to create a cinematic universe with crossover between his movies.

That is the point, having a crossover should be a nice fanservice instead of the main reason to do countless movies.

The only thing I still like in Marvel is the Guardians because they set far-away from the "main-line Avengers" movies, and they are going to ruin even this with the Avengers 3.

Like, I get it, its cool to have 2 heroes instead of one, its cool to see your favorites interact with each other, but then you have less time to flesh out each hero.
Of course I know they do these cinematic universes to have more adds and sell more toys and shit and drag in both audiences, but it has became so hollow now. Avengers 1 worked, it was fun to see the heroes interact with each other, after Cap 3 and Spider-Iron Man I just want to shoot myself.

Every movie just feels more and more hollow, just compare Sam Raimi's Spider-Man to Thor 2 or Avengers 2, or that Doc Strange or Ant-Man movies. The last 4 I mentioned are all the same formula, while Raimi did his own thing and put his soul into it.

People don't realize that Tom carries tremendous star power in Asia. He's like a God in Japan.

>>83802509

>Chinese have such high IQ in their homeland

They have a different kind of intelligence. Asians have great memory, but Whites have better problem solving skills.

For a period from 1986 until 1999 Cruise was at the top of his game by consistently working with the best Directors he could along with talented newbies. 1996 was his peak with Mission: Impossible and Jerry Maguire. It all went downhill after he disappeared for two years doing Eyes Wide Shut on Planet Kubrick which was a piece of shit and not worth the time/money wasted on it when David Cronenberg's Crash was/I'm an immeasurably better film.

Doing EWS killed the momentum of his career and after that he started making shit decisions. Oliver Stone was supposed to do M:I-2 but instead he hired John Woo which was a bad choice and turned M:I into a generic action franchise instead of the smart techno-thriller that the first one was. The rest of the M:I flicks are low grade trash with no spark to them unlike Brian DePalma's masterful first movie. He also started picking bad projects like The Last Samurai and Collateral.

Cruise only signed onto this Universal Dark Universe shit because he regrets not doing Iron Man, which he was attached to for a few years before RDJ got the role, and hopes that The Mummy will put him at that level and it wont because the movie is garbage and soo will the rest of this Dark Universe fuckery!!!FACT!!!

Does it mean we will get less diversity and less feminism? or will it just be reserved for western cucks?
