They'll need to nail the casting, which I think they will. But the soon to be success of Beauty and the Beast will surely increase the domestic gross for Mulan. And there might not be a number high enough to predict for the China gross.

I think Mulan has a decent shot at a low $300 mil total, probably around $325 mil. Jungle Book made $600 mil Overseas, with $150 mil from China. I think Mulan can easily double that. And match it in every other territory. I think it can do $800+ mil Overseas. Looking at a $1.1 bil Worldwide total.

Do people care about the original MULAN?

I don't doubt that it'll be big in China, but I think it'll sell less tickets than the original movie domestically, which only adjusts to $220 million. As Disney animated features go, it's not one of their beloved classics.

Nobody cares about Mulan. Not even the Chinese.

No. I think it will do over 200 million, but not 300 million, and it will be big overseas but not that big. Mulan is really good but it was only a medium size hit for Disney.

I do think the historical setting could maybe give it some Oscar love if it delivers.

It's probably Disney's strongest animated film on the theme of female empowerment. I definitely think it could play to a much larger audience, especially with millennials, on top of all the nostalgia Gen X'ers.

I don't see this coming anywhere near being 2018's #1 worldwide grosser, or even near Jungle Book's gross. Something around Cinderella's total seems more likely, which will be a far cry from the grosses of films like Avengers: Infinity War, Toy Story 4, the Jurassic World sequel and Avatar 2.

300m if it's good. Nowhere near the top grosser of the year.

I highly doubt a female oriented, action packed war based film based on a very popular 90s character will do similar numbers to a Cinderella film that has been done a thousand times before.

Though if this: http://blog.angryasianman.com/2016/10/a ... sneys.html

is true, I'm cancelling this club.

I don't think people care that much about Mulan. So this club is a fail.

For some reason I don't think having the main character be a chinese woman guarantees a hit in China. They could perfectly react negatively in a "that doesn't reflect our cuture, thanks but no thanks" kind ofway.

That's what usually happens with Japan, but China seems to swallow whatever Hollywood serves them if it somehow involves the Chinese.

That's no true. It's just that their population is so much larger. Even if a large part of the movie-going public are against a certain film, it matters little, because there are still millions of people to go and see it.

I actually was more confident when BJ joined. But completely changing the story to revolve around a white male would be a death knell for this.

Sorry, I should have said "That's not entirely true" because of course there is truth to it. The Chinese do have a tendency to a) flock to big Hollywood films and b) not think politically. I just wanted to also add a population angle to it, because that fucking matters when it's as big as China's.

Is that what the Angry Asian's post is about? I clicked it but it didn't load.

Basically Mulan is no hero in this story/script. She's just a pretty girl and there's a white dude that comes with his army, falls in love with her and saves the day because of it.

This script must be a joke. No way anyone in their right mind would make that film.

Teaser is out. It's fine.


Think this will be big though.
