Friend of mine is in China currently, he went to the opening night of the force awakens. 4 people were in the cinema.

4 people. Guess the hopes of it doing well and surpassing avatar are completely gone.

What's with the Avatard posting lately.

I understand just shitting on TFA, but do you have to make yourself look like a fag by mentioning that hippie shit which was Avaturd?
>>
All I've been hearing is how it was going to gross more than Avatar and that it hadn't opened in China yet! That China was a huge market and that would boost it to the number one highest grossing movie of all time.

The forgettable Avatar is going to remain no.1 for a while.

China is literally in the porocess of going bankrupt im surprised anyone can afford cinema

The Internet exists in China ya dingus.

I used to work for a Chinese guy while he was over here perpetually getting a PhD and "owning" a restaurant that really his dad paid for and his mother and me did all the work. He'd only been in America 2 years when I met him. Anyway, he used to watch all these American shows and movies with Chinese subtitles that he got from Chinese websites. He'd ask what shows or movies I liked and would find them on a Chinese streaming site similar to watchseries. Most of the time before the DVD release date.

He knew about Star Wars. I don't know, somehow Darth Vader came up, he knew who that was. Knew he was Luke's father, and told me Jedi are apparently named something differently in Mandarin.

They hype the fuck out of weird shit over there. The most pirated TV show last year was the Netflix House of Cards.

Eh, true enough (though apparently five years ago the number of Chinese internet users was already well over the population of the US). But it means what >>64663532 says is hardly implausible. Plus the films have been shown on TV. Plus the prequels did come out in China.

Yeah, I really was confused why a corrupt American politician show was so popular in China.

>I have no idea how public debt works the post

Take a finance or economics class, you fucking uneducated nigger.

A) The majority of US debt is owned by US citzens
B) Of foreign-owned debt, China owns a fraction of a percentage
C) The US dollar is the world's reserve currency, meaning debt for us is literally like printing money in a way that doesn't weaken our money supply
D) The US in its history has never skipped out on a payment, if it wanted to pay off its entire debt tomorrow it could.

Fucking mongoloid.

>>64666093

It's entirely possible then that most Chinese people associate Star Wars entirely with the prequels, which would explain the complete ambivalence to this reboot.

NAH
THE HEADLINE IS SHILLING BULLSHIT

>China Box Office: 'Star Wars: Force Awakens' Rockets to Record $33M Opening Day
IF THEY WEREN'T DESPERATELY SHILLING, THEY WOULD HAVE SIMPLY MADE THE HEADLINE:
>China Box Office: 'Star Wars: Force Awakens' Rockets to Record $33M Opening SATURDay

THIS IS BLATANT EVIDENCE OF SHILLS SHILLING FOR THEIR LIVES, BOUGHT AND PAID FOR, BETTER DELIVER SOME SNEAKY WORDED HEADLINES SINCE NOBODY READS THE STORIES ANYWAY :^)

IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT SHOWS THE EXTENT OF HOW BTFO DISNEY SHILLS ARE ITS THIS ONE HEADLINE FROM THR

SUICIDE WATCH CONFIRMED!

TFA JUST WENT OFF THE CLIFF, NOLEGS AS PREDICTED

This is completely true. They've even removed the midnight grosses from all of the films except TFA to make it seem like it's the 2nd highest, when really it's 4th.
>>
>>64668859
juse because you read this in another /tv/ thread it doesnt make it true
>>
>>64669060
Where did anyone else say this?

And it's true. Furious 7 opening to $63.5m, which includes 52.5m yuan ($8m) in midnight previews. The article has it at $54.5m, which only includes the actual opening Sunday's sales.

>The article has it at $54.5m

>It's also the biggest opening day in history for the studio, as well as the second-biggest single-day gross of all time behind Furious 7 ($54.4 million), which debuted on a Sunday.

You're a fucking idiot. They have included the $2.4m TFA got on Friday midnight showings in China into the $33m opening day Saturday they tout. Furious 7 had over $8m in midnight showings on Saturday and opened on Sunday to $54.5m, YET they only cite the $54.5m figure instead of the whole $63.5m. They're literally twisting the figures to make it seem like it did better than it actually did, not to mention the shill title which make it seems like TFA set an opening day record.
>>
>>64666031
some people just aren't funny man, you're one of them, stop trying and focus on what you're actually good at, have an awesome day bro.
>>
>>64669384
If you don't recognize how poor this is then you have absolutely no idea how the box office in China works. Note that they have to use the wording "opening saturday" (literally no hollywood blockbuster opens on a saturday in china, so it's literally competing with itself) because it's not even top 4 all time when it comes to saturday grosses for a film. Even including the $2.4m TFA got in midnight showings, Age of Ultron opened on a Tuesday and grossed $38m in its first saturday.

Also it's heading for a 40%+ drop tomorrow which is absolutely awful. It's not even going to gross $150m in China and it's not even going to outgross Titanic worldwide.

It's probably because the Chinese didn't grow up with the OT, and the movie is 95% in jokes and outright quotes from the OT.

Sorry, the movie came out in China yesterday which for them was a Saturday, the ninth of January. Which was the Chinese release date of the movie.

So no, there is no problem with the wording of the headline. The movie's opening day in China was a Saturday. You're retarded.

It bombed in South Korea too.

There just isn't nostalgia factor to the franchise in those countries, they were poor as shit when the first films were coming out, there is no emotional attachment the studios can abuse with marketing. Like they very successfully did in USA and in Europe.

He's not though. The petrodollar is a license to print money. If anyone wants to buy oil on the open market, it is bought and sold in USD. There is only one place to get US dollars. From the US. They have to buy the money to buy oil.

Anytime anyone has even started talking about selling oil for other currencies you get anything from an assassination to a full scale invasion.
>>
>>64672829
Yes. Well us dollars won't becuase there will be way to many in circulation for the fed to do anything about it, but everyone else should be ok.
>>
>>64673100
Solid gold isn't going to mean shit. Peak oil has been a bogey man just over the horizon since the 70's. It's the collapse of the world economy and a free fall to rock bottom. And it's forever.
