Don't you know how rated R the comics are. Deadpool is not like the other superheroes, he is clearly for adults.
>It is what most people on my facebook think, so a good sign for staying away from this movie based on their targeted consumers.
>Banned in second largest movie market.
FLOP Is there a movie that Ryan Reynolds is in that he hasn't tanked? And people thought the idea of Zoolander 2 destroying this movie was trolling.
>>79093317
Is this because Finn is black?
>>79092221
Nope, because fox won't be bullied into shoving one of their telle stars into the film.
>>79093466
Because Confucian culture will not sanction Kylo's tomfoolery
>>79092238
Good for you, "consumer." Are you going to pay for half of Deapool's production and marketing to show your approval now? Because this movie is headed straight to being a giant financial failure that all but ensures the character gets zero sequels or follow-up.
>>79093477
>Flat ass.
>>79093466
They're just not fond of Star Wars. The original only recently got a release there (Western cinema being restricted when it first came out) and it didn't go over well, either.
>>79093466
they literally Photoshopped Finn out of the poster, what else could it be?
>>79093605
projecting the trailer on the great wall didn't help
>>79093611
Nah, they just made him small so as not to scare the chink children
It's depressing how much the boxoffice depends of China this days.
Fucking chinks
>>79093477
China is usually just a neat bonus for the studios, so it doesnt matter in this case.
Deadpool will fail because its R-rated, if they're lucky they will make $300m (which is still more than Green Lantern did).
>>79093517
Movies succeeded before breaking into the Chinese market was a thing. To be honest the Chinese market sounds fucken terrible. They would watch any damn movie as long as it has them as the heroes doing great with no negativity at all.
>>79093750
China is weird like that.
I mean, they also ban anything gay related too, and that seems nonsensical when one of their biggest issues is overpopulation. Shouldn't they encourage more people becoming gay so that they have less kids?
>>79093937

Yeah come on guys. It's 2016 after all!
>>79094004
That movie opened next to Avengers 2, it had no chance.
Deadpool is opening in February and Fox already had a hit with Kingsman in the same month, I see no reason why this movie can't do as well if not better than that.
Not to mention it helps that this movie has a low budget, so it's not like it needs a huge box office number to be a success.
>>79094124

>>79094124
Nothing that hasn't happened before. They want money. It's partly why comedy movies are so god awful right now. All the jokes have to be easily translatable for the chinese. It's why so many comedies rely on dances, farts, and crotch shots or their equivalent. You'll never have something like Airplane or Monty Python again.
>>79093966
>Movies succeeded before breaking into the Chinese market was a thing.
And now they depend on the Chinese market, particularly for blockbusters. Times changeThis movie reportedly cost $80mil, likely $100mil with reshoots. That's 1/3rd of a AAA capeshit budget, but it's still a massive cost for any other type of movie. Which is why the Chinese market is so important. The R rating was going to cut this movie's take in half anyway. This is going to kill it before it gets out of the gate.
>>79094124
The Yuan was strong-ish for a little while and money talks loud when it's coming from the country with the highest population(not that they could really AFFORD movies for their population, but hey, party at the People's Republic!)
>>79094188
>now they depend on the Chinese market, particularly for blockbusters
I'd like to hope that this somehow allows good filmmakers to make good, non-blockbuster movies.
>>79094135
>Fox already had a hit with Kingsman in the same month, I see no reason why this movie can't do as well if not better than that.
Kingsmen opened in China and did nearly 1/5th of it's business there. China is a big thing in the movie business.
>>79092221
We may be seeing that PG-13 cut
>>79092238
>Movies that pander to the chinese market are fucking terrible
...you mean like that wave of capeshit movies that actually had chinese officials walking around on the set and being involved in the dev-process?

People have been making good, non-blockbuster movies since the dawn of the medium and continue to do so. They just don't expect them to make too much money in the theatres nowadays (if at all).
>>79094295
That's the joke?

They don't appeal to the chinks because their finances depend on it, it's literally just more money for them to cook on 'distribution costs' and other bullshit.

It's the new shitpost, but to spin it to a positive it's how you filter opinions sans tripcode. Anyone who calls another Reddit must have absolutely no basis for an argument or any way to support what they think. So they do this.

I don't think it's about Finn. He's still there.
They took out that pilot guy and Chewie entirely. They could have done that to Finn too if they wanted.
They just rearranged the poster so that the droids (ie, toys) are in center view. They're pretty clearly banking on the idea of a bunch of kids clamoring for Soccer Ball Robot toys.

>>79094727
The Chinese poster looks like it actually refelcects the essence of the movie more so than the US poster. Fin should not be as big in the US poster.
>>79093400
>he is clearly for adults.
The targeted consumer is manchildren, they may be adults but have the mentality of children.
>>79095191
It's running near $100mil not counting marketing. That's not as big as Avengers or BvS, but that's still a ton of cash for any movie. This movie needs the revenue from China, especially since Fox needs cash to cover what they lost from Fant4stic. If they get another superhero bomb they'll likely stick to just doing group X-Men flicks and Wolverine. They and may even reconsider making Gambit, since that's even more of a risk than Deadpool.
>>79095383
Good, that means Fantastic Four will finally go back to Marvel.
>Wolverine
With whom? Hugh Jackman who already said he is too old for the role?
>Inb4 Wolverette
Marvel will most likely give in and change it to PG-13 by next week.
They see there's a higher demand to see it among youngsters, so they won't risk losing profits, especially Valentines Day weekend.
>>79095429
>Marvel
>>79095320
Yeah, he probably shouldn't be as big, but the thing is he's smaller than leia on the chinese poster.
>>79095429
They're at the point of no return right now. Unless they plan on spending even more money on doing months if reshoots and edits to make it PG13 then try and have it squeezed in to the limited US movie release pool in China so it comes out in the fall.
>>79094184

Honestly it might make them more money/have more press because of this.
Look at what happened to "The Interview" that movie was always bound to be a piece of shit, but because of all that shit that happened with hackers threatening Sony to not release the movie in theaters and shit, it ended up getting seen by everyone because of the news regarding it.
There is no such thing as bad publicity when it comes to movies.
>>79097318
I'm thinkin' that's the smartest thing they can do. This isn't another F4 debacle where even China looked at it and said "Wowree, that sheet", this is more of they don't wanna' waste a spot on an R-Rated movie.
Or fuck I don't know, maybe Kim Chung Possible is just an asshole.

That's a ahockingly big concern though. He's a cool guy and gets leading man roles all the time because he's funny and has nice abs. But he also tanks every movie he's leading in. Man is the pre-Channing Tautm.

Anyway they didn't reduce his size in the Chinese marketing, they increased it for the regions with large black populations to make money from them.
really? deadpool was banned in china?
not even the raid was banned in china
>>79100445
China is strict with foreign movies. They only allow a certain amount of them every year into their theaters, and because they have no rating system, they must be acceptable to all audiences (around PG-13 level).
>>79100428
>the regions with large black populations
In China?
>>79101339
He's talking about Finn being bigger in countries outside of China because of large black populations, but that's bullshit, because Finn is big on the poster in every other country, no matter how many blacks they have.
>>79094727
I just noticed Finn is doing a dramatic sword pose on the poster when in the movie he was a lightsaber noob and basically clubbing people with it.
>>79099859

Sure, those were all terrible.
>>79095272
we're already in that situation, though. low budget R Rated action movies are already dead.
>>79093992
It's their way of fucking over the western movie industry.
They only allow in a set number of western movies in there and they make up massive potential profits (while also taking bigger cuts than anyone else in the world)
So basically most movie studios are rampantly trying to pander harder and harder to shitty Chinese tastes while also getting less and less for their efforts.
>>79095662
an early version of the script has been available on the internet for like 6 years now, so you could actually find out for yourself.
It's been a while, but all the elements seem the same. Colossus, intercutting between deadpool and wade flashbacks, highway chase scene with flipping car and sticking cigarette lighter in a dudes mouth, etc
>>79095429
I was watching Revenant two nights ago and they played the Redband, I do not think it's possible to cut out enough to make it PG-13.
>>79092221
Why? The "overseas market" doesn't consist of China. It's contribution to ticket sales is on par with Germany or France.
