>they think China will save Star Wars foreign gross
china population is 27 times more than worst korea. this projects to at least $600m in china.

YOU'RE FUCKING RETARDED

Cameronfags so scared they've stopped making sense entirely.
>>64499288
>thinking Star Wars makes its money from the Box Office
Oh sweet, naive child.
The movie is just a vehicle to move licensed product from shelf to home.
My business alone rakes it in from Star Wars merch, and the Disney Reps only care about the volume of product moved.
Star Wars could have made half what it's already amassed and it'd still be one of the more successful movies of all time in that it's achieving its objective: generating huge profits through brand synergy.
>>64499434
>china is japan
there are more than 10x as many people in china as there are in japan
China has some unusual taste. They don't seem to like Star Wars as much as the rest of the world, and are more or less single-handedly responsible for Furious 7's place among the top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time (Source: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/28/furious-7-china-highest-grossing-film-all-time )
>>64499567

Your Autism is showing.
>>64500661
You're fucking retarded
>>64500661
>You're fucking retarded
What's retarded is comparing lifetime gross numbers to a movie that's been out for less than 3 weeks. How about instead making a comparison of opening weekend numbers. But you won't because you a Cameron fag.
>>64500873
>You're fucking retarded
No! What's retarded is comparing lifetime gross numbers to a movie that's been out for less than 3 weeks. How about instead making a comparison of opening weekend numbers. But you won't because you a Cameron fag.
>Avatard takes 73 days to reach $700 million
>TFA does it in 13 days
Cry more Avatard faggots.
Star Wars won't break Avatar record because it's doing piss poor in Asia.
>>64500661
Also Avatar hit at the height of the 3D fad. Avatar only made so much money because tickets were double what they usually are.
>>64499567
>They don't seem to like Star Wars as much as the rest of the world
This is a straight up lie being pushed in multiple threads by the same Avatard shit poster.
TFA will open in more Chinese theaters than any other movie in the history of the nation. It will also have more planned show times than any other movie in Chinese history.
Cry harder you butt hurt faggot.
>>64499567
This is dated. Ep7 already confirmed to have passed Avengers and Furious 7.

Actually it's doing about the same maybe a little less in some countries it's exceeding ticket sales in japan given the same time frame.

less than 50% of total asian market sales have been tallied on sites such as boxoffice mojo
its not as precise domestic totals. numbers will be more accurate in the coming weeks.
you could extrapolate and i have. $2.45 billion total world wide
>>64501024
Considering the Chinese economic bubble is going to pop at the end of the week, I think there's going to be a lot more for the chinks to worry about than going to the flickeraunt.

Avatar vs TFA opening weekend
Japan - 6,890,387 vs 10,158,486
South Korea 9,718,025 vs 6,707,133
Thailand 1,588,449 vs 1,629,319
>>64501181
Avatar went up its second week in nearly every Asian market. How'd The Marketing Awakens do?
>>64501161
"Presale" is very uncommon in Asian countries you faggot. Most Asian economies are so piss poor that the concept of "presales" is a foreign concept to them. They sure as hell aren't about to let someone have their money on the concept of a promise for a product in the future. Literaly the only Asian country that TFA is not smashing Avatar in is South Korea

>>64499477
Everyone already knows that. This is confirming that TFA's ticket sales won't be highest all time. Try to understand the point of a thread before posting.
>>64501285
Yes, but they aren't just low, they're dismal.
Japan and Korea are at least familiar with Star Wars, Chincs have no nostalgia for it one bit
No one cares about foreign markets. They just liked Avatar cause most of the movie is non-verbal pretty lights.
The Chinese shat on the original movies because the characters weren't "beautiful enough".

And where are Avatar's "Presale" numbers?
So far TFA's gross is beating Avatar's in every Asian market except Korea.
>>64501571
Avatar wasn't frontloaded. What part of making a movie with box office legs do you not understand? Are you implying TFA will have legs in China?
>>64501161
>Article from six months ago

All these dumb cucks don't realize TFA has 40%+ drops in box office second week overseas while Avatar held out for many weeks.

The article is literally from today.

Holy shit. The damage control. The bitter tears. The rage. This is hilarious.

>>64501555
Considering China from 1977-1983 was an isolated backwater which did not show capitalist pig movies in theaters, that's a tricky assertion to make. The only good data would be from ethnic Chinese at Hong Kong or Taiwan theaters, but no way in the mainland.
>>64501631
Jurassic World crushed Avatar opening weekend. So did the Hobbit. And both of them double-crushed Titanic. Did you know Titanic opened to $22M?
they dont like niggers.
PS: Theres not 1 single black man in avatar.
>>64501657
Furious 7 outsold Avatar too and it didn't reach 2bil overseas. You can't be this dumb right?
>Avatard

Whoever invented this word has now created a fantastic meme. Great job kid!

>>64501686
>they dont like niggers.
Then explain Furious 7
3 full niggers and 2 half niggers and a Samoan that chinks throw in as a nigger in that movie.
>>64501744
That's actually pretty funny. Bringing 21st century expectations to a viewing of 20th century films is a stupid move on the part of those audiences. They would probably criticize the century old "Trip to the Moon" for it's use of a ballistic launch vehicle to get to the moon.
>he still thinks the Blue Man Group by James Comeron will win
haha no
TFA is bland cash in off a three decade old franchise. There is no nostalgia factor in gook lands for it either.
Avatar is a once in a life time phenomenon that transcended cinema as we know it.
>>64501131
>China bubble about to burst
But people have been saying that every day for like 25 years
ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING RETARDED AND DONT KNOW HOW TO READ NUMBERS? LOOK AT THOSE DROPS! AVATAR WASNT FRONTLOADED IT FUCKING WENT UP AFTER WEEKS AND CONSISTENTLY MADE LOTS OF MONEY OVER TIME

ITS LIKE IT FUCKING DROPPED 65% IN A WEEK AND HAS ONLY MADE $22 MILLION WITH 2.4 MILL THIS WEEK WHILE AVATAR MADE FUCKING 100 MILLION
STAR WARS WILL DROP AGAIN AND AGAIN AND MAYBE REACH 40 MILLION
>>64501850
notice how avatar/titanic went on to make 400 mil after day 16 whereas jurrasic park made 120 mil after day 16
star wars can maybe make another 200 mil domestically
even with 300 mil from china it would still need another 200 mil overseas to beat titanic or 800 mil to beat avatar and that aint happening
Measuring box office records is fucking retarded anyways.
There's like twice as many people alive today than there were when Gone With The Wind was out, and there are more fucking movie theaters period. Records aren't fucking impressive anymore.
>Don't like Avatar
>Don't like Star Wars

You fuckers always forget about Furious 7, China's highest grossing movie ever, filled to the brim with niggers, mexicans and women
The stages of /tv/'s denial:
1. Tell people SW is doomed for no reason.
2. Makes money so they tell /tv/ it's only for a weekend.
3.Weeks get record breaking results, so they start saying foreign aren't making money.
LIKE WHO THE FUCK CARES WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM IT'S COMING.
>>64502214
except its not and it wont
>>64499288
>>64499434
So in a fraction of the time that Avatar was in theaters, TFA has made more money than Avatar had at the equivalent amount of time, and you're acting like that means something?
Why bother even shitposting? Do you just keep moving the goalpost every time or how exactly are you justifying this? And also, why the fuck are you so gay for Fern Gullies With Pohahantas? Do you actually like that movie or are you the type of person that likes going to the beach and punching waves?
>ITT: Autists pretending to know about, understand, or care about box office numbers and which corporation will "win" in the race between who makes billions of dollars better.
why do you guys care so much in seeing another name on top of avator in the wikipedia page? like what comes out of it for you? why look at sales? youre not inverstors, youre losers.
Why do Asians like avatar?

You're right: Korea isn't China.
Unlike China, Korea is a country where the Star Wars actually had theatrical releases when the films originally released. Korea is a country where Star Wars plays on television, unlike China. Korea is also a country where bootleggers weren't given weeks to distribute the film illegally before it played in the theaters, unlike China.
The Force Awakens hasn't done well in any Asian country. Yo-Kai Watch outperformed it in Japan (a country, like Korea, has a history with the series and showed the film on time).
Honestly, I don't see it doing much better in China.
>>64501951
BTFO
>>64503639
Did a new hope really come out in Korea? Korea was still a military dictatorship back then
>>64503639
Why is china so behind? Was the case the same for avatar or have changes been made to the system?
>>64503831
It came about a year later, but almost a month before Japan got it.
And yes, Korea was a different place back then.

They still limit how many foreign movies can be released in China, but the number increased a few years ago (it's up from 20 to 34 now) and it'll supposedly increase again in 2017.
They probably didn't/couldn't waste a slot on a film that would release so close to the New Year. Also, I don't think they have high expectations of it doing well in China (then again, they've dropped a lot of money on advertisement).
>>64503639
is this nigga serious? yo-kai is currently peaking in popularity in japan. it would be weird if it didn't beat out TFA.
if yo-kai and frozen both launched together in japan, yo-kai would still win. and frozen was huge in nipland(and probably still is)
>>64504135
>if yo-kai and frozen both launched together in japan, yo-kai would still win
Honestly doubt this given that Frozen has outperformed Yo-Kai Watch in Japan.
