>>64704422
It's spin/clever wording to make it seem like TFA is breaking records in China (it isn't). No other movie has ever had a Saturday-Sunday opening in China, so to say TFA is the highest is the same as "TFA was the only competitor".
>>64704442
It's the translation for the Chinese name of China (中国)
>>64704500
Disney shills and stuff. still don't see how they'll dethrone Avatar because they'd need what, 1.5 billion to even have a chance?
>>64704479
For China that's huge apparently
>>64704500
I don't get how a film that's making an incredible amount of money is being mocked for not making enough?

They made an incredible amount of money off of this one film so I don't get how you can act like it was a flop just because it hasn't yet beaten some other meme film.
>>64704783
it isn't about making money though, they wanted the boxing heavy weight title. saying you've made a lot of money is like saying Barkley made a lot of money. sure he did make a tonne of money in the nba, where's his rings at though. even some one who made far less and has a ring has bigger balls than sir No ring Charles Barkley.

>>64705423
At least as much as Avengers I assume.
>>64704922
TFA IS DONE.....the house of rat is finished. hahaha. the next movie won't even make a half bill domestically, and that much less internationally. rogue one's done, episode 8 is done.
Even though Avatar told a bland story at best, it was a technical marvel that is still well loved by many and still watched by a shit tonne of people. it's joined my things to watch every year with your family. Dune DVD will be watched by me and the senpai later and Avatar IN BEAUTIFUL BLUE RAY BABY, will be the next flick we're gonna watch.
even the kind of atrocious and poorly written and acted episode 3 is on our watch list. poor as that was i had more fun with episode 3 than tfa. what a crock of garbage that movie was. want my money back disney.
>>64705243
Jim never said it either, but its hard for him to hear the cry of 'uncle' with his balls in Disney's mouth and all.
>>64705423
More than Avatar, so they could bill it the highest grossing movie of all time. It's likely going to end up around 2.1 billion worldwide, around Titanic. Avatar made 2.7 billion.
>>64705362
Add to that the fact that they have grossed nearly 3 billion in Toy sales just since "force friday" in September.
They grossed over 2 billion a year in toy and videogame sales per year over the previous 2 years (2014 and 2013)
Yeah, Disney has MORE than made back their investment in Lucasfilm already.
>>64705445
In China I mean, I don't know about all foreign markets.
>>64705431
No source, just speculation based on how much money they poured into marketing in Asia (they got the Chinese Justin Bieber to personally market it for like a month) and how hard they are trying to make the 800m+ domestic gross sound like a worldwide record.
>>64705445
Well it's beaten it domestically and nearly matched it internationally so I'm sure they're happy.
Also I heard that they've already made their 4 billion investment back taking in to account all of the money they've made from the franchise in total. Anyone else know if this is true?

Avatar takes you to another world and that story it tells beautifully. But you know what Avatar has that TFA doesn't have, a believable story and sensible plot. TFA plot had holes and it was shit, and nothing about it was believable, I MEAN YOU MARY SUE REY!
the token black guy's presence literally was the best thing about the movie. why he suddenly turned on the only family he had and started murdering t hem without batting an eye felt forced and contrived though.

How am I BTFO if I literally don't care which shitty blockbuster made more money? They're shitty films for children and uncultured adults, their revenue doesn't make them good movies, money has no factor on what makes something good or essential.

you got btfo out disney shill.
>>64705177
>pretending it didn't already double the cost in toys sales already
Well, Disney definitely cost themselves money going with black and female leads. Possibly hundreds of millions of dollars.
Disney tied to cover this up by taking Dinn out of the trailer and poster in Asia. But that was a band aid. Asians are against race-mixing. And they admire whites for their acheivements, and don't respect blacks much at all.
TFA did fine. But certainly left money on the table.
>>64705452
How much you care about this is depressing. It's clear that the Hollywood system has worked to trap you in its web. They want you to go on Reddit, like you clearly do, to form your warlike factions, and feel the blind passion and warmongering you do over products, and get your insular opinions from other redditors. This is how they make money. You're doing a disservice to the world by letting your personality be dictated by businessmen and hack directors. There's life beyond Reddit, you know. You can experience beauty outside of your Blurays and your autistic CGI worlds.

For Fuck's sake. The only American made movies to make a larger percentage of their money from foreign markets than Avatar (72.7%) are:
Bridget Jones 2
Resident Evil 5
Ice Age 4
The Golden Compass
The Expendables 3
Resident Evil 4
Terminator Genysis
The Smurfs 2
The Need for Speed
2012
Battleship
Die Hard 5
Ice Age 3
Penguins of Madagascar
Pirates 4
Furious 7
Exodus
The Last Samurai
Hanzel and Gretel: Witchhunters
Pacific Rim
After Earth
Hobbit Battle of Five Armies
American Reunion
The Smurfs
Bridget Jones Diary 1
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
The Prince of Persia
That list far worse than the list of movies on the other end of the spectrum.
TL;DR Foreigners are bigger plebs than 'murricans

Idk, that may have been a factor, and I'm not a "pro-diversity" person at all. But if all the leads were white, TFA still would have been just as safe, bland and forgettable. It's really just a generic, "competent" cash in on a really loved iconic series from 40 years ago. That's why it ultimately won't do any historic financial numbers.

this movie spells doom for the series. once the glare of the initial explosion wears off, and people finally get their eye sight back, the next one coming people will wear shades. the next movie won't even make 400 million domestically and if it does, it wont' be much more than t hat.
>>64706559
You spend a lot of time defending your life, and it comes across like you're trying to defend it to yourself. If you feel remorse over your actions, it's clear that it's not perfect. I started off annoyed by you, but now I'm feeling really empathetic. I think you should really try to evaluate what you put value into. I don't think it's doing you any good. Why does it matter so much to you how much money James Cameron makes? Can you show me what impact his films have had on your life, and show how it's led to anything good? It seems like something arbitrary, but our entertainment choices illustrate a lot about us, and I can't help but think your idolatry of Cameron points to a really huge central flaw in your character. It simply shouldn't matter so much to a person how much money Hollywood films make. No one in Hollywood cares about your well-being. They don't make blockbusters to try and develop your empathy, or show you the healthy ways to live or function. The fact that you compare actual, important politics of the past to the present state of Hollywood is troubling.
>>64706831
i'm not wrong for seeing the truth. the biggest lie you can tell a child is that they could accomplish wonders. sure they could accomplish wonders. if they're of the less than 1%. the reality is most if not almost all of us are destined to be the very dirt better men build on to reach the future.
Martin Luther King said something that I learned in School and it has stuck with me all these years later, 'if you're a street sweeper, be the best street sweeper there is.'
Martin never said being a street sweeper is going to make you happy or if you'll feel satisfied. but if the day comes you find yourself being a street sweeper then be the best street sweeper you can be. i'm stuck where i am and things can be better but chances are, this is where it's at. i'm working towards my inevitable retirement and we're pooling our resources for our eventual deaths.
YOU think I love Avatar? I enjoyed AVATAR. I loved the matrix series though because each film was rich and purposeful. people were only disappointed because it didn't go the way they wanted. But Neo, instead of being the President or the god of their realm, settled for being a street sweeper and i kind of understood that. most people only hated the subsequent movies because the worshipped and clung to every meme Morpheus spoke, and ignored the more purposeful things he said, among which was, Most people would never leave the Matrix and would die to defend it. Right there, that's a group of people, the majority of humanity, more than 6.5 billion who would die to defend the lie of the matrix. those were a people who preferred to be, street sweepers than zionist taoist.
Of all the characters of the series I love however, Rama Kandra is my most favorite, for his words reverberates in me even now, "I don't hate my Karma, I am thankful for it. Karma is but a word, but its the feeling behind it that is important, it means simply; we're all here to do what we're all here to do."
as am i..

You're just finding excuses to remain complacent. You're very clearly over-writing in an attempt to justify to yourself your lack of motivation. I think I recognize you from a Matrix thread the other day, about the sequels being bad. I'm pretty sure you were defending them in that thread, right? The Matrix sequels have nothing to say about life or death. They're minutes and minutes and minutes of action, and then a few lines that try to seem deep but really have nothing to say. Nothing in any of the Hollywood movies you idolize have anything remotely vital to say about the human condition as the books that inspired them do... I think the Wachowski's had good intentions, but even they described the Matrix movies as Kung Fu vs. Robots when pressed. The thing is that they just took inspiration from the books they read and dressed up a blockbuster with it. I think it would really benefit you to explore literature and art films, to see actual artistic work that doesn't waste its time on entertainment - you can't communicate something real and life-changing without actually using the entirety of your film or book to get meaning across. The fact you pull an example from a Matrix movie to defend how low you set your bars for yourself just tells me that you go through life desperately trying to find things to affirm yourself and keep yourself in your stagnant place. I think you're better than that - if you're aware enough to know that the world requires many parts, you're already better than a street sweeper. If you let yourself be a street sweeper, this little tinge of regret will always spring up. It's not too late, anon. You can still become a better version of yourself and find not what you want, greedily, but what you have to do, in your heart of hearts.

are there still pitch men and women out there. i suck at writing but i write great summaries. are there still places where you can pitch your stuff. i would need some one to help me write. i have stuff. what about competent dictation to text software. i can spend all day talking but when it comes to writing, it uses another part of my mind that is intertwined with boredom and monotony. i can write fan fiction will enough but when it comes to my stuff, i stubble, i get bored, uninterested and that's usually. when i get really into writing i can spend all day rewriting.
what i need is a software where i can talk for about eight hours and then work on bringing the text in line with my imagination.
>>64708165
There isn't just one way to write, anon. When you look at successful people, the thing that keeps jumping out is that they all use different methods. Not every director writes their stuff out in immaculate screenplays, there are a bunch that use fragmentary notes and direct off the cuff. Some writers use a series of flash-cards to outline their work, some write as they go, some edit as they go ... it's all a matter of trying out different things and seeing how well it goes for you, and just doing whatever leads to results. There aren't any rules if you don't want there to be. Often the people who make it just do what they want until they're good at it. I'm not sure what the state is for pitch men, but there are countless examples of people making it outside of the usual channels. Follow your intuition and at least there will never be doubt.

thank you. didn't know that. thought they all had to write emaculate scripts. thought that's how everyone did it. the flash card thing i can do. it's short and to the point and its not scary like a full page but straight to the point, it describes a moment of time then it ends. like a smaller function. like how programs are essentially just hundreds, thousands or millions of functions brought together.

>>64708633
Pretty sure you fauxldfags are the only one that give a shit about foreign box office, or think that a movie that's made a billion dollars and is critically celebrated is a failure because it failed to beat that generic event movie that was popular because things looked really neat when you wore funny glasses. Transformers does really well in China too, because they only care about things being big and explodey with as little problematic story as possible.
