Could anyone here give me a rough idea of the number of subbed/dubbed Hollywood films vs. domestic films you might see in a typical European cinema? I realize this will vary by country but I've always wondered what the ratio is like. From an admittedly ignorant American perspective it does seem like a significant number of popular films worldwide originate in Hollywood. But it's hard to gauge as a casual viewer because of how rare it is for a local theater in America to pick up a foreign film.In big European countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and in Latin American countries foreign films are dubbed, and you can choose to see them dubbed or with subtitles. I assume it's the same in Asian countries, the US doesn't watch foreign films for other reasons such as them being considered hipsterish IMO. If you live in a small population you are stuck with dubbed blockbusters tho. (Unless rich hipsters live there, in which case you have original version runs)
Edit: foreign language dubs are very fun to watch, I would dig watching F&F in Chinese. (I'm sure its dubbed btw)
Fun and brainless flick.
Kinda makes me sad there's basically no room for other types of movies these days though.
Yea, it's fuckin crazy that the FF series budget basically cannibalized that Moonlight films budget and the last three marvel movies halted production of some flick called la la land.Fun and brainless flick.

These kinds of melodramatic posts in movie threads never fail to make me roll my eyes.Fun and brainless flick.

give the next one to Stephen Chow.
I'm amazed he still hasn't made a Hollywood film yet. Either Hollywood is selling him straight garbage every time they talk, or he's just not interested in leaving the country.
He honestly has no reason to go over to us anymore
"The future of filmmaking appears to be in the hands of Vin Diesel"
Best sentence I've read all week.
With Donnie yen making a Hollywood run again, he's gonna be in a sequel eventually. And will fight Statham and will be awesome.Looks like they'll find a way to bring back Han.
Comrade no more.what does the chinese movie poster look like?
Dubs happen in Japan but most foreign films are shown in their original language with subtitles in China. The main exception is animated films, which will be shown both dubbed and subbed, since they want children to be able to watch.In big European countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and in Latin American countries foreign films are dubbed, and you can choose to see them dubbed or with subtitles.

He's making garbage films in China as it is, he doesn't need Hollywood to help him.I'm amazed he still hasn't made a Hollywood film yet. Either Hollywood is selling him straight garbage every time they talk, or he's just not interested in leaving the country.
ಠ_ಠWhy is China always such an enthusiastic consumer of crap Western films?
Someone who laments the dumbing down of cinema, but refers to films as movies.

Donnie Yen will be in the next onealong with Han.
And that isn't the case in the US?
Pretty Sure Episode VII was the first Star Wars film since the Chinese box office hit it big. The franchise seems to do okay in China, it's just not a mega success like it is in the US.Star Wars doesnt work in China because they have a rich history of fantasy/martial arts epics. Would you really think a lightsaber fight between Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor was on par with the action choreography of a Jackie Chan film?
The OT movies are even worse when it comes to action choreography and the CGI is 40 years old and doesnt hold up. Take that out and whats left. A generic action adventure series with good music.
Then you have The Force Awakens which is another serviceable somewhat generic film when removed from its nostalgic value.

I think movies-as-pure-spectacle are big there, hence the love for Transformers.
That's not true. They don't like Star Wars all that much.Why is China always such an enthusiastic consumer of crap Western films?
XXX already got him, and I bet if a 4th movie happens it'll crack the $200 million US there.SW tried that bullshit already.
Maybe FF would use Yen correctly.
