GitS well on its way to $200 million profit like we all knew.
They going to try so hard, but eventually they will learnBut yeah, the fact this superhero supercar superspy film starring maybe four white people of note (none of whom are actual leads) is setting all-time records internationally is definitely a sign that the studios cannot, should not, and really better not try to make the bullshit argument that securing financing becomes harder when you don't have your "bankable" white lead at the front of your film.
2017 should be the fucking killshot for that piece of bullshit conventional wisdom. Ghost in the Shell is a massive flop that adheres strictly to that wisdom. Fate of the Furious gives it the finger on its way to half-a-bil in one weekend.
Kinda/sorta. There are typically contracts with the studios that ensure the picture gets a minimum length run on a set number of screens. Something like "This has to be in your biggest room for X number of weeks and then you can move it to smaller screens" and then after like 3 or 4 weeks they can either remove it entirely or keep it in the theater.
Like, it's doing amazing.I'm happy Get Out has such legs.
Next FnF is going to have a large setpiece in China and a Chinese actor in it.
My mind collapsed on itselfThe more interesting thing would be dealing with the two Tyreses
They had a Taiwanese director at the helm for a while. Maybe they could bring him back.Next FnF is going to have a large setpiece in China and a Chinese actor in it.

Above 7 for me, on par with 6.How's the movie? Better or worse than 7, which I really liked?

PAST TO THE FURIOUS
I'm curious to see how next week holds up. F8 opened huge in China, but it was pretty frontloaded. The overall total there might not be much more than F7.
The mass murdering family just KOed Ghost.
Good legs for big Hollywood films in China is slightly above 2X multiplier. Correct me if I'm wrong.
BACK TO THE FUTURE
There aren't any hard and fast rules. Under 2x is really frontloaded. Zootopia was something like 10x opening weekend.
We only started to see Friday openings becoming standardized in China this past year. See the Sunday opening for Furious 7, Tuesday opening for Age of Ultron, Wednesday opening for Jurassic World and Saturday opening for TFA in 2015/early 2016.
Above 7 for me, on par with 6.
directed by M. Night Shyamalan to gives us this nugget:
at the end of the movie they time travel to the far future and find themselves in a wasteland. when they wonder why everything is dead, they see a car coming, up close, it's an interceptor followed by a gang...
9ite of the Furious next plz.
Was messing around in the other thread about bringing Han back with Gisele and Johnny Tran as a team and since we're talking crossovers and potentially saving franchises...
The Past and the Furious: Power Rangers Turbo Time Force
GitS getting beat by a movie one week older than its release date. Wow. Just pull it and get the 4K Blu-Ray out Paramount.
Good god at the FitF global take. These movies don't interest me in the slightest, but continues to make bank.
LOL @ Power Rangers. I kinda figured this "reboot" wouldn't amount to much.
Let's wait for Japan and Chinese numbers before saying it's dead. Could do great numbers in China that could justify a sequel.Power Rangers completely flopping overseas killed it.
Doubt thatLet's wait for Japan and Chinese numbers before saying it's dead. Could do great numbers in China that could justify a sequel.
Paul Walker's death, coupled with that phenomenal Wiz Khalifa song, propelled F7.I mean, dropping from 147 down to 100 is a drop. You're basically suggesting it made $50 mil extra on that weekend solely because of Paul Walker's death. Which might not be wrong, I remember it being a pretty big hook.
But that big?

Based on the Saban statement? This doesnt mean anything at all.Power Rangers will get a sequel.
Japan and China aren't going to change anything at this point.
