Rogue One made $0.46m in midnight showings in China last night - compare that to Fantastic Beasts which made $3m from its midnights and ended up with $85m total. TFA also made $3m from midnight showings.
Projected final gross for Rogue One in China is $40-$50m - lower than Star Trek Beyond, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, Ice Age 4, The Angry Birds Movie, Batman v. Superman, etc.
Could even fall below Boonie Bears III ($44m), which gave TFA some trouble last year kek
TFA was China's first big taste of star wars and it was shit, expect the next entries to do shit there
Asians are extremely racist and hate niggers.
>b-but muh Donnie Yen
What went wrong, Sup Forums?
>the better film flops
it really makes you think doesn't it?
Wtf I love China now
It doesn't matter. They saw TFA first, thought "that's it? garbage kekeke" and now everything Star Wars is shit to them. As it should be.
The movies only thrive over here because they're still riding that nostalgia wave which the Chinese don't have.
Star Wars isn't big for chinks. More news at 11.
When will the US follow the rest of the world and drop this manchild franchise as hard as it should be dropped?
female lead and niggers arabs and spics.
Do Chinks like Star Wars?
Wasn't The Disappointment Awakens their first Star Wars?
And that's very, very relevant when it comes to Rogue One
I bet they would love the Prequels if they were released there today seeing as how much they like big CGI explosion films like Transformers
>lower than Star Trek Beyond
How is that possible?
No, they're completely indifferent to Star Wars, but some idiot manchildren that know nothing about China thought it would do amazingly because Donnie Yen was in it.
Trump foreign policy in effect!
Who cares?
But there were two Asian characters. And only one black character who isn't really important.
Chinese has shit taste. Transformers was a massive hit there. They are incapable of appreciating masterpieces and would prefer instead to be fed garbage with lots of explosions and no plot.
The prequels WERE released in China, and they flopped.
BUT THEY CAST A CHINESE ACTOR TO GET THE CHINESE PEOPLE INTERESTED SINCE THEY TFA DIDN'T DO SO GOOD.
WHY DID THIS FLOP?
I thought Chinese people like movies about courage and sacrifice :(
Asians like qt white twinks and dislike forced diversity?
Because chinks aren't the dumb animals you think they are that'll flock to a movie just because it has a familiar face in it
>Transformers was a massive hit there.
every single Transformers movies does well.
WHY?
What is so good about seeing giant robots fight over and over and over?
At least Shin Godzilla tried to be intelligent with the subject instead of pouring out the same movie every time
>China determines how well american made movies do now
>America has to pander to the Chinese
Bunch of cucks.
>Star Wars
>not garbage with lots of explosions and no plot
ahahahaha, I mean I like Star Wars but come on.
>'Rogue One' Box Office: 'Star Wars' Zooms Past $800 Million Worldwide
>Its 18-day domestic total is $440.9 million, which still puts it between E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial ($435m) and Shrek 2 ($441m) as the 13th-biggest domestic hit ever. Today’s gross is something of a crap shoot, but relative comparisons argue around $6.5-$8m for today which will bring it just under $450m domestic, a milestone it will cross tomorrow on its 20th day of release. To wit, that will make it the fourth-fastest sprinter in history behind The Avengers (17), Jurassic World (15) and The Force Awakens (9).
THIS IS TRUMP'S AMERICA NOW
We don't need the Chinese to make money.
they portrait donnie "bazinga" yen as a blind homosex tho
based chink.
maybe now we will get movies for white people
TFA and transformers are the same shit, both are shit
>domestic
>relevant
Rogue One will outgross Civil War domestically by over $100m, but it'll fall short of Civil War worldwide by over $100m
get fucked
Suicide Squad made over 700 million without China.
We literally don't need the Chinese market now
>lost to a fucking Shrek
There are no white people. that's what they pay for, or they'd just watch asian films.
No one is paying to see a bunch of half-black racially ambiguous dirty refugees for 2 hours
China isn't like the rest of western countries that had Star Wars since the 70s, it doesn't have the same cultural relevance there.
it's over, the Star Wars are finished
Dubs confirm. China is a mess. China is a waste.
>with lots of explosions and no plot.
You literally just summed up JJ Abrams' The Force Awakens
>lower than Star Trek Beyond
>How is that possible?
How is it not possible?
>yfw China prefers white lead characters
really makes me think
The main character is a white girl. There are two others chinks just like them and a mexican and arab who are basically distant cousins of white people.
Can we stop pandering to them now? And make dumb downed film for their small chink brains?
>The main character is a white girl.
Do Chinese males like watching girl leads?
Not being offensive but do they at all?
>a mexican and arab who are basically distant cousins of white people.
I loved that they cast a Mexican and an Arab in Rogue One and no African.
>WOAH DON'T SHOOT ME
Star Wars is done. Bury it.
>yfw we are getting 3 young han solo spin off movies
FUCKING WHY
Posting Chinese reactions to the film
1/?
>Star Trek = boring dull shit
>Star Wars = greatest sci fi stories ever
Star Wars should always beat Star Trek
You can't Hater the Vader
2/?
can't wait!
Which is why it's glorious to see Hollywood scramble between appeasing Chinese viewers AND being diverse. I hope these limousine liberals crash and burn hard.
disney is bankrupt
I really want to know why this is. Is it because muh diversity feels forced to them? Or is Newt just that qt?
>watch the beginning of the movie and the end of it instead I guess
There I translated what she meant to say
>The result of the final act is better but the whole movie in general is very boring
Any other stuff you want me to translate for you?
3/?
>even Chinese audiences know this is money-grubbing garbage
Fantastic Beasts was a fun movie with dazzling visuals and a little darkness.
Rogue One is a boring slog grim fest with even the slightly interesting CGI made dull by the context it is constrained in.
>tfw your multicult "movie for everyone" cast plan backfires
WOKE AS FUCK
tfa flopped too
star wars just isn't popular in china
>Or is Newt just that qt?
This. Whites are very handsome and attractive to look at and Chinese people who see nothing but their own race all day love to go to the cinema and see a qt white boy on screen.
Why does Hollywood think putting a Chinese man in the lead will make the Chinese people flock to go see it?
What the fuck China?
kek
I can read those forever, please post more
Didn't they go crazy over World of Warcraft and Transformers? Not like they have discerning tastes or anything.
4/?
>tfa flopped too
no offence but Chinese people are not interested in a white girl and a black male lead.
Not being racist but that is how they are.
>all these alt righters projecting there neo nazi bullshit on the Chinese
Rogue One was popular and did fine
This makes perfect sense, thanks.
Also most American Chinese actors are fucking pig ugly, the Chinese cast much more attractive people in their movies.
No they just choose different types of shit to watch. Star Wars is no better than transformers now
>meanwhile Warcraft is 10/10
>various capeshit is 10/10
Chinese woke as fuck.
Am I suppose to hate it now that some country didn't go out and see it?
I just want to fit in with Sup Forums.
>mfw Disney decides to recast Star Wars Episode 9, making sure that almost all the lead characters are white and doing this as a test to see if it gets a better rating in China
>my face when
no you were supposed to hate it already
and now finally get some validation
Everyone but brainwashed American women think niggers are disgusting.
Yeaaah. A film not doing well in China says little about its actual quality.
>Also most American Chinese actors
wince when have we ever had a Chinese actor in a Hollywood film in the last decade?
We have only had blacks after blacks, no arabs at all (thank God for Riz Ahmed).
>its a bunch of people make up racist theories about chinese tastes to match their view
don't get me wrong, chinese people are racist but the answer is they simply just don't give a shit about star wars
>don't get me wrong, chinese people are racist
well you just contradicted yourself :^)
5/?
first half
>This film may have spoilers
Well yeah... if you go and watch the full film you are likely going to get spoilers of what happens in the 3rd act
>Last night to see the zero night market. Reason, after reading the heart of the rage can lead to I can not sleep
>2016-12-19
Hmmm, what did you mean by this? Film was not even in china at this time.
>They both are Chinese actors in the Hollywood film which rarely very little soy sauce but really starred in a supporting actor.
I cannot believe a China man wrote "soy sauce" in a film review...
>no arabs at all
6/?
second half
"last night to see the zero night market", which is the first line, means "I just went to see the premiere"
Even my engrish is not this bad
Good. Chirrut was such an obvious pander to the chinese and absolutely pointless. I'm glad their plan is failing
he downloaded a camrip cos he couldn't afford the ticket
>your face when china people get together and have bootleg screenings of movies because it is too expensive to go to the cinema
really fuels my almonds
>Do Chinese males like watching girl leads?
Zootopia was like one of their highest grossing films.
>Can we stop pandering to them now?
No becuase they keep fabricating box office numbers like they did with the warcraft movie.
>Chinese people can actually recognize a shit movie
maybe we were wrong about you guys
How the fuck is this guy an arab you idiot?
I thought he was a white guy this entire time.
He looks like some Italian kid
>I have never been optimistic since Disney bought Star Wars, but I never thought it would be so bad
>Rogue One is nothing but an empty, exaggerated, visual feast without feelings
based chinks
>Jiang Wen in which a giant gun loaded with deep neuropathy
pls return me my sides
>Movie still made $800,000,000 when it's still not yet done releasing
kek
racists BTFO. diversity is here to stay. fuck you autistic racist white """""men"""""
>>Chinese people can actually recognize a shit movie
It's because they can't that endless capeshit gets made.
>A furry porn movie is the same as a live action movie starring a lead girl
KYS
I always told you faggots this is going to make less than Suicide Squad, even with China.
SW is not a big thing outside of 'Murrica.
That said, R1 shits on the TFA.
It Say they dislike forced diversity bullshit.
But in the west transformers 1-3 did amazing so we have 0 room to talk.
>That said, R1 shits on the TFA.
We all agree with this.
