 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Well, on the streets you can't see 3D and the Chinese love their 3D, so..

The German co-producer says RE5 did $2.9m opening day in China...

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Jack the Giant Slayer opens tomorrow. I will see it next weekend. Opening on a Monday means it will have a full 7-day gross when they are reported the following week.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Jack is releasing in 3D as well so I hope it does good numbers. Its a good movie with too poor of BO performance.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Oz comes out a couple of days later.  But I'm hoping that the Chinese don't know or give a shit about The Wizard of Oz and its iconic status.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
I am again surprised at the worse release scheduling for Jack...even in OS markets. It could have atleast waited for some time or released earlier to give itself some gap from Oz.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Don't get it at all. I guess they feel that Oz is not as bad as competing against Iron Man 3 and the blockbusters of Summer, which I agree.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Yes but if they could have pushed to get it released in China by last week of Feb which would have given it a month's gap before Oz. Otherwise even 2-3 weeks of gap would be great. Even mid of April would have been better.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Yes, April would have been better. February was off-limits, I think, because there are tons of foreign movies released with days of each other in March and April, so I guess SARFT didn't allow Feb releasing.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Aah I see but it could have been like start of March (1st week) since Oz is coming in 3rd week. April would have been better still it would have to compete for 3D competition of Oblivion and IM3 (if it releases a week earlier like many countries).

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Start of March would have been better, yes. Lots of mid-interest movies were released then, but it would have overshadowed them all, I guess.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
But you don't live in China.
Well, it was never banned at my office either because we have a VPN, but it was banned at home, yes.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
It's not something I can switch off.
I actually like you, Jack, so don't take it to heart.

 Re: China Box Office (Skyfall)
Django was pulled after being on release for a month. The gov't changed their mind after walk-outs and complaints from Chinese viewers.
This is what I'm hearing.
