Beige Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hey Nick, do you know if they inserted famous Chinese actors/actresses into Ant-Man scenes for the Asian release? They did this with Bingbing Fan in Iron-Man in 2008 (she was later to become Blink in DOFP) when they produced a couple of scenes with her playing a news reporter. These were exclusively for the Asian market and really spiced up interest (she is incredibly popular in China) in Iron Man - with great box office figures. Seeing as China responded well to this, I wondered if they had cast her (probably not as she has a 5 film X-Men deal) or someone similar to 'pique' interest. Any idea Nick? PS: keep up the good work - I enjoy this part of the forum very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Nothing I have read yet confirms there was a Chinese-dedicated scene like what Marvel Studios did in Iron Man III. Woman: Doctor Hu, he's almost here. Doctor: Got it, let's go. Doctor: If everything goes according to plan, the surgery should take three and a half hours. Time will fly, so if you're feeling fatigued, dizzy, or want to take a rest, make sure you tell me. Woman: Mhmm. Doctor: I need you to remain calm and collected throughout the surgery. You can take a minutes break if you need. Woman: I understand. Doctor: I have faith in your abilities. (Doctor looks at her) Doctor: Are you ok? / Is there a problem? Woman: Have we... have we thought this through? Doctor: We? (laughs) What do you mean? Woman: If anything happens, if anything goes wrong, the world will lose a great hero... Doctor: Yes. And the entire world will know who did it. Right? Woman (cutting in): What I mean is... We've never carried out this type of surgery before. What's more... in every simulation we've ever done... none of the patients made it. Doctor: About time you got a new computer. Woman: (sighs) Stark (narration): As promised, I operated on Pepper. But then I thought, why stop here? Of course, people will say, changing him is dangerous, but that's because that bunch of insufficiently_thoughtful_persons don't have this thing in their chest, and now I didn't either. It's been a long time since I've had a good night's sleep. Doctor (on phone with Chinese JARVIS): How is he? Jarvis: I have notified Mr Stark. The medical advice you have given him is very critical in maintaining his health. Doctor (laughing): Does he even listen to you? Jarvis: Occasionally. Doctor: Hah, who's he going to listen to, with all his big ideas... he's my friend. How could I not worry for him? He worries for so many people, but who's there to worry about him? This...this is our duty. Although the local Chinese market appreciated seeing actors known to them, the response was mixed because of the way the content and product placement was handled. 'Iron Man 3' China-Only Scenes Draw Mixed Response Could it be due to this Marvel didn't attempt something like Iron Man III again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 So did Antman make it to $100 mil in the chinese market? China has been great for these movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 So did Antman make it to $100 mil in the chinese market? China has been great for these movies. $81,870,000 But remember. This is only the second week of its opening in China, though from the past three movies it would appear the first three weeks is when the bulk of the Chinese box office is amassed.

Bosco685 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 By the way, if the Guardians and Captain America 2 results are any indicator of a trend, Ant-Man should easily exceed $100 MM by the end of its China box office run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 China box office: $105,370,038 WOW!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 China box office: $105,370,038 WOW!!!! Has China's Box Office ever done better than US domestic Box Office on an american movie? Antman will not do better in China, but with the amount of money it's generating over there it looks like some day the right movie might do better.

Doktor Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Terminator Genisys & Transformers 4, I'm pretty sure did better in China than in the US. But I might be wrong there. If they didn't do better, they were very very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperheart Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 ]Terminator Genisys & Transformers 4,[/b] I'm pretty sure did better in China than in the US. But I might be wrong there. If they didn't do better, they were very very close. those are both correct. TG was a dud in the US so it's not that surprising but T4 did $245MM US and $320MM in China.

Doktor Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Considering the budget, the critical reception & the box office, I'd say it was a solid double or triple. Not quite a home run, but definitely a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Not the best Marvel Movie, and not the worst Marvel Movie. Very solid though, and definitely enjoyable to watch. I think from a financial standpoint, it exceeded expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
