A feud between businesses in China is pretty much guaranteeing that this movie will flop when it premieres tomorrow. I thought China hated this form of capitalism?
>China’s film industry is abuzz with speculation that Wanda Cinema Line is willfully sabotaging the box office prospects of rival Huayi Brothers’ new animated feature Rock Dog (摇滚藏獒) by limiting screenings of the film, set for release on Friday, July 8.
>Wanda has only arranged seven showings of the film, amounting to just 0.3 percent of all films screened across its entire cinema chain, the largest in the country, according to Beijing-based box office tracker EntGroup.

>Liu also said that the translator present at the premiere was “not allowed” to translate a question about the reported sabotage because “we don’t want the director [Ash Brannon] to wonder why Chinese people are doing things like this.”

>Wanda reportedly angry over poaching of executive to Huayi last year
Will the US and international release salvage this film, or go straight to VOD if it fails or too late?
>best-boy-looking-girl won't have the chance to be in a second movie.
china why?
>>84326078
>from the academy award nominated writer-director of surf's up and toy story 2
I thought it was gonna say something like "from the directors who saw surf's up and toy story 2"

She seems to have a decent role in the plot, as she popped up in the most recent trailer in several places. Not sure the movie had much sequel potential to begin with.

>>84326078
I saw a preview of this movie and its rediculous. Dialouge the origin scene is really bad
>My act needs a name, we don't have a chance without a good one
>Nawww man, the music don't need no labels. It's just Rock, Dawg.
>>84327437
If you're going to lie, put more effort into it.

I'm genuinely wondering how this will affect Hollywood's perception on the reliability of the Chinese market to make a profit. It seems like an isolated incident right now but there's always a chance that it could happen again.
>>84327647
that's why modern movies are trying to pander more and more to chinese market
>>84326687
It's strange whenever I see some anthropomorphic characters barefooted and some not.
>>84327832
it's more strange when you see some characters with clothes and others not
>>84327832
Preference, perhaps? The same could be said in the real world. Maybe she simply likes the way the boots look.
>>84326078
>>84326102
Why are they sabotaging rhe film?
>>84329931
politics
>>84327057
>>84329949
Okay, what politics?
>>84329931
Most Chinese people are confused by dogs that are still alive
>>84330018
Fucking this >>84330018
This thread has been up for hours but nobody has actually said why this is happening outside of some vague remarks about rival businesses and something about Tibet.
>>84330018
the one that say you aren't allowed to talk about the tibet, mention the tibet or make the tibet the hero of something. remember Bjork? I guess their government think it's a parody of that concert.
>>84330305
It was in the article linked in the OP. One company stole an executive from another company. That other company owned the largest theater chain in China, so as revenge, they only gave Rock Dog 0.3% of their screenings in China. The largest theater chain in China is only showing the movie seven times.

What a qt
>>84331166
Her name is Darma. She's voiced by Mae Whitman in the English dub. She even got her name on the posters.
someone post the cute white cat boy pls
>>84331264
He's an old man.
>>84330421
How Childish.
>>84326102
The Chinese do things like this because they are literally the goyim of Asia
>>84331629
doesn't stop him from being cute
>>84326078
I want tokissthat dog
Shame Chinese companies will not stop being scum and this will probably do mediocre numbers in America
>>84332595
I just don't understand why it doesn't have a release date.
Netflix COULD snatch the US rights
What are the wolves mafia?
>>84334605
Probably learnt from the North Koreans that all yankee's are wolves.
>>84333615
Probably a lot of internal struggling happening behind the scenes, which makes sense in China
Why do people do business with China when we should be bombing them into the stone age as punishment for being a shit-tier culture and society?
>>84336206
Because they give us cheap labor a massive cinema market
>>84335774
They dont even seem half as cool as them
Comeon Rock Dog, pull off a furry miracle.

What is this and when can I watch it?
>>84340256
It's the same movie this thread is for.
>>84326932
looks like some ANTZ-level garbage animation to me
>>84341521
It cost, what, $90,000,000 less?
>>84341192
Hooray
>>84332595shun is best morenatsu
>>84341771
and yet moviegoers would have to pay the same ticket price
>>84341932

Ya'll niggas are gay.My friend who is gay and a furry and did recommend me this game.Problem is that i am straight and not a furfag, or a big fan of waifu simulators.Is there a reason to play at all?
>>84347863
probably not
you dont have to be a furry to like it but if you're not into VNs then you probably shouldnt bother
>>84348000
Figured as much. The only one i played was Katawa Shojo and i didn't even finish it because i lost interest.
>>84341521
>calling promo art animation
I'll judge it once I see them moving.
>>84347863
I was not gay but i really enjoyed Juuichi's route, you really won't know till you try it.
