What went wrong?
A21 got tricked by the blatantly inflated fake numbers
>>150080497it's like releasing The Little Mermaid 2 in tjeaters first, people would wonder where is the 1st part to know what sort of feedback they should know about
>>150080497Kpop mogged it hard in my theater.
>the chinese centur-ACK
>>150080497People with taste don't like gook shit. And yes, Americans have better taste than gooks.
>>150080550fpbp
>>150080497No Chinese people legally obligated under threat of concentration camp to go and see it
why are americans so xenophobic?
>>150080589Uh kpop d hunters is the most popular netflix movie of all time. The sing along showings in america made 20 mil in a week too
>>150080630anime is huge in the west. bigger than western movies, tv, and animation for millennials and younger. burgers aren't xenophobic, most of what comes out of china is garbage that doesn't appeal to anyone but the chinese. same with india and most foreign markets. even korean media is normalfag tier nowadays like anime.
>>150080630>K-Pop Demon Hunters is American
>>150080497I never saw Ne Zha 1, and I don't wanna go in confused.
>>150080630They have no history or culture like the rest of the world, so they hate everyone who isn't American.
You're not allowed to make people watch movies at gunpoint internationally
>>150080671>>150080666Anime isn't chinese. It doesn't count and visually looks very different from OP show while k pop doesn't
>>150080713america clearly loves japanese and korean media. what a weird cope.
>>150080630Eastern minds are incompatible with Western mindsThe Chinese people as a whole are assholes, violent, manipulative, cheating, and anyone who has worked with them or lived there knows to stay away and ignore them
>>150080630Taiwan, Tibet, and Hong Kong are independent
>>150080497Maybe they should make actual good movies instead of digital feces.
>>150080817>Eastern minds are incompatible with Western mindsit's just chinese media westerners don't like. why is this so hard to comprehend when anime has been popular here for 30 years and korean media for like 15.
>>150080719>>150080589"gook shit" is an insult against koreans instead of chinese...
>>150080844Correction :Taiwan is independentTibet and Hong Kong were independent.
>>150080497Because it’s a sequel to a movie a lot of people wouldn’t have watched, plus Nezha has an ugly ass design.
>>150080861Nah Americans hate a lot of Japanese culture like not being allowed to stand up to bosses and just take shit forever or having unreasonable work hours then have to go out and drink with your coworkers instead of being home with your family.We do not like having to be overly calm and robotic with stupid things like not being allowed to eat while walking or lying for politeness rather than being honest.We also don't appreciate their claims of moral superiority when they go out of their way to hide their shortcomings like with molesting children or censoring porn while they openly have prostitution barsFortunately we are a lot more compatible when it comes to tourism but most Americans would hate living there longer than a year.
>>150081046burgers literally work longer and more hours than japanese people do. less time off too. instead of kissing the ass of the boss you have to kiss HR's ass. same difference.
>>150080497People realized he wasn't a girl.
>>150081076That's the stereotype but wage parity between countries show that Americans live much better than the japanese.Those who are cucked by the boss or HR are cucked due to working in a coastal media company that enforces gayness.Most other normal jobs don't do the HR ass kissing at all especially when we have easy lawsuits and big payouts
>>150080713>likes japanese and korean stuff???I mean maybe they dont like European stuff, what cultural product has Europe made in the past 10 years that was a hit in the states?
>>150081136not to mention indians. I don't think I need to explain much about that
>>150081136>Most other normal jobs don't do the HR ass kissing at all delusional. unless your idea of a "normal job" is gas station attendant.
>>150081159no you are used to tech jobs bs or spineless people letting the boss step all over them
>>150080589Your post has two big lies
>>150080497Turns out you can't just hype machine something into relevance anymore, Western audiences are too jaded and have had their time wasted by hollywood for the last 20 years. Plus this is just the black myth wukong situation again but in the movie industry instead of the gaming sphere. CCCP buys a huge amount of tickets, hands them out to people to see, posts the sales numbers and tries to trick the west into buying a mid product under the guise of CHINA STRONK INFLUENCE.
>>150080870There's layers to the joke. Yes, you're right but Americans don't give a shit about the difference which is doubly insulting to the Chinese since they fucking hate other groups
>>150080497people already saw the english sub version of the movie
a fight scene!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPr5W19KMn8
the uploader messed with the audio partway through, but have another fight scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc-6pWk6V5E
Americans are not required by party politics to watch or shill media for social credit pointsAt least not yet
>>150080550Believing any government numbers is pretty stupid. Doubly so if you trust the bugmen.
Shame societies like China are morally fucked since being an evil dick is permissible if you behave in public.Add the Great Leap Forward killing off anyone with integrity, and you get a country ran and inhabited by psychopaths.
>>150080550This. No sane person truste China's numbers on anything, unless you unironically think the country the covid outbreak began in somehow had the least covid cases.
fight scene from the first movie!https://youtu.be/L6kRvPyLmN8?feature=shared&t=213
>>150081795Covid wasn't even real, you dumb bitch.
>>150080497It's a sequel to an already obscure movie that even most animation fans hadn't even heard about.
Karma for COVID.
>>150080497Didn't market the fujobait movie to the fujos hard enough
>>150080497No cultural significance to western audiences. No marketing besides the "look how money it made!" thing of being the most profitable animated films of all time. Isolationism polices paint foreign films in a bad light. The recession means less disposable income so luxuries like going to the movies or general paid entertainment start to wane.
>>150080497Chinese media performs poorly in American overall, because we don't learn about their culture or mythology much and their cultural values sort of bounce off of the USA. The movie pushes a gross little gremlin kid in all of its marketting, which is offputting.Its is a sequel to a movie no one in the states heard of or watched, based on an old chinese myth that only a few people over here would have ever heard of.Who was supposed to rush out and watch this in theaters? Why would you take a kid to see this instead of Superman?
>>150080497I saw it back in February and while I liked it, I didn't like it enough to want to go see it again. I imagine that was true of a lot of people who saw it back then.
>>150080844Bro You can't say that !
And Superman flopped in other countries
>>150080497Its a beautiful looking movie. But chinese story telling can be odd at times and Americans dont really understand it as well as japanese and Koreans. Also the kid is ugly. Korean and Japs dont have ugly protags um
>>150080550The numbers are real
>>150080497My contrarian reflex demands I watch this film now
>>150083791He is cute>>150082483
>>150080693Sony Animation is like Sony Interactive... based in America
>>150080589> And yes, Americans have better tasteAmericans like kpop so no
>>150080666That's cause kpopiggers are cattle that will consume any slop.
>>150080859It’s good.You have shit taste
>>150080904> Nezha has an ugly ass design.Little Nezha is suppose to be ugly
>>150083835Why is Ne Zha the only one that's rounded up to the nearest 10 million dollars?
>>150082038Gay movies are banned in China
>>150082081> No cultural significance to western audiencesLike Avatar by James Cameron?
>>150083929Don't ask questions, just do what the Party says and then get ready for more Party directives.
>>150082363> Why would you take a kid to see this instead of Superman?Superman wears his underwear outside of his pants
>>150080497>he looks like a fucking labubu>A24 did shit all to market it>it's a sequel to a movie nobody's seen>it went up against the KPDH sing-along event
>>150083978Ask https://www.boxofficemojo.com/chart/top_lifetime_gross/?area=XWW
>>150083991> like a fucking labubulabubus are cute
>>150083978I love the CCP! I can't stop clapping! I can't stop clapping!
>>150084029
>>150080575Nezha > kpoop
>>150080497It already made 20 million in America earlier in the year.
>>150080497Lol in china watching this movie was a national duty.
>>150080630Because we all have first hand experience with people of all races and nations and have formed correct opinions on them.
>>150083900Except ne zhaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>150083929Stop noticing
>>150080497Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't a bunch of rich Chinese mfs buy tickets by the car load? Yeah it's gonna be impossible trying to do that here and not even Disney could pull it off. Fantastic film btw, just the people behind it are a bit sketchy.
>>150081081This still seems weird to me. The design is so overtly feminine. Is the Chinese perception of what masculine and feminine looks like really that different?
Chingchong soft power is so embarrassing. Didn't they learn anything from the Soviet Union?
>>150080497It flopped in China too. They just made up the numbers >ccchina is le based and red pilled Communism is Judaism
>>150084142the production of Nezha 2 was funded entirely by the CPP. The chinese film industry is owned by the state and the CCP bought a bunch of tickets for empty theaters to artificially prop it up. The fact is that the chinese ability to export their own culture has always sucked and the japanese do chinese mythology alot better (and seemingly with more respect for the source material too somehow)
>>150084194> It flopped in China tooNo >>150083835
>>150084123I assure you that if it was titled ne zha 2: k-pop boogaloo, it would have made a million bajillion
>>150080497It already had a limited release a few months back, so anyone here that was interested in seeing it already saw it, especially since this release in particular is dubbed only from what I can tell.
>>150080562The first movie is on Tubi
>>150084145He is androgynous
>>150084224Oh yeah I'm sure. The audiences are just sheep who'll like whatever you tell them to. Which is why all of the most marketed movies to come out the last 10 years have been doing so great.
>>150084203>Communists lie about numbers. Color me shocked.
>>150084236Cute boy
Kpopdh totally mind broke shills and it's honestly a mid movie. It only seems great in comparison to the latest globohomo film strip.It was ONE movie. The damage control on it is embarassing.
>>150084261Male
It made 6x the amount in the US currently compared to the first one, so flop is relative.
>>150080497The most famous, well known, and richest celebrities are Chinese yet no one outside China knows about them. The most spoken language is Mandarin yet English is the considered the current Lingua Franca. The problem seems obvious either the people in charge were oblivious to what was going on or it is intended for the Chinese abroad to appreciated chinese culture since the CCP spends money on propaganda exclusively for Chinese abroad.
>>150084280
>>150084319I love him
They couldn't bus in Chinese soldiers like in China
Despite being from china I consider kpop winning overall, to be the worse outcome Nezha at least was a straightforward traditional action animation aimed at boys, and is mostly sincere. Kpop is...actual slop in comparison.
>>150084357https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1159725.shtml
>>150084203>the japanese do chinese mythology alot better (and seemingly with more respect for the source material too somehow)That's because the government suppressed chinese religion and mythology that the common person doesn't know much about. Japan preserved a lot of Chinese stories that Modern Chinese anthropologist go to Japan to study Ancient chinese religious folklore that was suppressed by the government. The Japanese languages didn't change much so it's easier to read old chinese literature if you know modern Japanese compared to Mandarin which had a lot of linguistic shifts.
>>150084358That Kpop movie seems like it's standard fare for a girls movie honestly. Cute boys and girls, lots of songs, silly meme faces that can be used as Twitter gifs.
>>150084483And gay shipping
>>150084346Black myth nezha
>>150083929Chinese people are very autistic, so they go to the movies in groups that will ensure the box office is always a round number.
>>150084487You can only gay ship if the movie itself has no gays in it.
>>150080497If the world won't accommodate me, then I'll turn the world upside down.... - Nezha

>>150080603
Ne zha 2 was a masterpiece
>>150080497Chinese film for Chinese peopleLast time I pointed this i was called a jew lol
>>150083929
I went to catch the dub in imax today. Huge ass theater and it was just me and one guy I thought was there to just smoke weed or something. Turned out he was invested in it though, said he really liked it after we left the theater.The original Chinese dub is better, Michelle Yeoh sounded hilariously out of place, though it was easier to understand some stuff without having to read the wonky subs.The plot is thin for a >2 hour movie, and the tone lurches around a lot, but it was fun to see all the action on a super big screen
>>150084833>and then it flopped
>>150084858>this website owned by Comcast proves it!
>>150085064No >>150084975
>>150080497No animals a furry would fap to. No Stitch either where Karens will have an excuse to go to Disneyland with their kids afterwards.
>>150085135>No animals a furry would fap toClearly you haven't seen Shen Xiaobao
>>150085133Yeah >>150080497
>>150080713Our history is being the first to have the bomb which made us better than every other country. Then we went to the moon to prove we could stick a nuke up your ass no matter where in the world you were. Sure we don't have castles that are thousands of years old but we have the means to where you won't have them either. And saying we don't have a culture when every country worth a fuck has a McDonalds drive thru. America is the world and you're so seeped in our culture that you can't even tell it exist.
>>150085248Jeez, as an American myself you aren't doing a great job of selling our country. You coulda at least said root beer and cowboys or something
>>150085241Who cares about America.Ne zha 2 made it’s money while Hollywood movies continue to flop
>>150081774Add in that most Chinese post-revolution were only children and you start to realize why they are incapable of playing well with others.
>>150085287That's great. I wish all hairy foreigners were like you. All you people's obsession with my country is the most annoying thing about not-america.
>>150085303That and the Mongol virus destroying their empathy
>>150080497>shit movie flopsNothing to see here, move on.>>150081843retarded idiot stop posting
>>150083957Except a movie that is gay and trans coded just had the Chinee government put $2b into it to claim it's the best cartoon ever.
So it flopped in America but it's still the highest-grossing cartoon ever made.Sounds like America doesn't matter anymore.
>>150081843Fuck off you subhuman bug..
>>150085338Nezha is not trans.He is clearly cisgender male and heterosexual
>>150084301The Chinese has to know that their culture is unsavory to the West. Hell, we don't even eat their food. What we consider Chinese food was invented in New York City by immigrants who made shit up and said it was authentic.
>>150084142Americans can't spam-purchase movie tickets because you need to live in a wealthy country to do that. Most Americans can barely afford food especially when you factor in all the funeral expenses from when their kids inevitably die in the daily school shooting.
>>150085135>he doesn't want to fuck Ao Run in both forms
>>150081604>>150081540Meh.Kung Fu Panda was better.
>>150085477Look if I wanna fuck a noodle dragon then I don't need to watch Ne Zhu 2. The clumsy one is clearly superior.
>>150085468Dude, you guys are out here eating bat soup.I only take dietary criticism seriously from country's that don't force their people to scrounge for a dinner and create super viruses just by eating the wrong under cooked varmit.
Biggest hit at the US box office this year was Minecraft, which made less than a billion worldwide. Meanwhile Ne Zha 2 made $2.2 billion and is still making money in some regions.2025 will be remembered as the year America's entertainment industry became #2 in the world. Endless Marvel slop killed everyone's interest. Oh, well.
>>150085468
>>150085535She is only superior in that she comparatively spends more time as a dragon, but even then she also falls to the shitty human form crap.
>>150080497wait...it was released? I was actually thinking of seeing it since I've already seen Bad Guys 2 twice and It'll be a little while until Zootopia 2 comes out.
>>150085478No
>>150085570It made $2.2b with $60m coming from abroad. Of that $60m, over a third of it is from America. So what this tells anyone paying attention that the box office is faker than the filling in a Chinese dumpling. This is Monster Hunter on steroids.

>>150085572LOL, most of that wealth is held by five or six drug-addled retards like Musk or Altman. That's not a rich country, that's a poor country with a few rich people in it.Meanwhile the average American is one injury or illness away from being bankrupted by a hospital bill that costs more than the car he lives in. It's cool though, if you run out of money just find a Chinese person and ask him for a loan.

>>150080497This movie received pretty much no hype or advertising, in my experience. Just a few articles that referenced the film's large earnings. I've personally seen more advertising for Shin Godzilla recently than Ne Zha 2.
>>150080630North or South Americans?

>>150085468>Americans can't spam-purchase movie tickets because you need to live in a wealthy country to do that.It's not wealth, it's stupidity and it's the same reason their entire real estate bubble exploded because they just kept constructing empty poor quality buildings entirely to gin up numbers. The entire history of the CCP is doing poorly thought out sweeping national campaigns to try and solve a problem by doing it in the most ass-backwards way possible like the Four Pests or Great Leap Forward.
>>150084194Welcome to communism, the numbers are made and the points dont matter. People are even suspecting that China's population numbers have been off and falsified for decades.Think about it, people have been freaking out about overpopulation for decades but the most populated country has actually been lying about its numbers.

Chinamen are pathetic. Just like Hindoos they seeth and cry about the west and constantly assert how superior they are, yet in the same breath they crave the recognition of the wesr and for their cultures to be seen with the same reverence and prestige. They will never have it, though.

>>150092718Korea and Jap psyop understands people want to just enjoy themselves and focus on that.Chinese psyop can't contain themselves about how great and amazing and number 1 China is at all times and it comes off as forced and insecure.
>>150092753And let me add: Mugan Train's US grosses wouldn't even put it much above this Chinkslop.
>>150092753Because western weebs don’t go to theatres

You need to watch it in Chinese.
>>150093523It's an unpleasant language to listen to, and adds absolutely nothing to the experience, unless you are a demented ricebug worshipper.
>>150093523Not racist but Mandarin is really grating to listen to

Now that Kpop Demon Hunters is no longer in theatres, do you think it might do any better?
>>150091003They have pinyin.
The Movie was inflated in China because the Party ordered people to watch it. Like it or not, wasn't a choice, they were bound by the mandate of heaven to watch the movie. In the west, not so simple to force people do what the government wants.
>>150093916No. It’s just the best movie of the year
>>150093782No it’s coming to streaming soon
>>150080497They rejected our shit. We reject theirs. Simple as.

https://old.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comments/1ilrapc/a_chinese_box_office_faq/seems Chinese box office is more transparent then the American box office. Sales are tracked live and everyone can look
>>150094108Yes, the technology simply doesn't exist to make numbers fake on the Internet.And even if they are real (they aren't), the tastes of Chinese peasantry isn't going to impress me.
>>150094253Why would multiple companies all fake the box office numbers for one particular film and not the other films that were bombing at the same time? Why would they give their competitors advantages by faking their numbers and being bad at box office tracking?
>>150080497We watch Jap cartoons here, not Chink ones.
22 Million in the US isn't the worst for a foreign animated movie. Suzume got 11 million. Your Name got 5 million. Belle did 4 million. Boy and the Heron got 46 million. Demon Slayer and the Train did 49 million.With a few exceptions, like Crouching Tiger and Godzilla Minus One, foreign films generally don't do well in America.
>>150092896nah I already had high expectations after watching the legend of Hei
>>150094389>With a few exceptions, like Crouching Tiger and Godzilla Minus One, foreign films generally don't do well in America.then tell chang to stop seething that people don't like his ccp approved sloppa already.
>>150080497Like I kept saying, nobody outside of China gives a shit about this. It'd be like Croatia making a movie about some obscure Slavic folklore character and the movie doing really well in that country but nobody outside of it understanding it.

>>150092873Bugmen shills don't count
>>150092718Because Koreans and Japanese don't live in an Orwellian hellhole and can actually make the kind of art they want without much restriction.
>>15008538599% of its money came from China only. Imagine if Frozen 2 or Inside Out 2 made that much in China. They'd legit outgross the Avatar movies, Titanic and Avengers Endgame.
>>150095830Ne zha 3 > Avatar
>>150083974Dances with wolves plots are insanely popular in the west.

>>150097302>Chinese animation came 1st.Japan copied the Americans, cope Wang
>>150097384>>150097317So everyone copied America? And America stole their land from native Americans.Cope fag
>>150097158Not true, theres a reason why Anapanman, Detective Conan and Laura Haruna took off while Tower of God, Astro Note and Blue Box didn't.In fact TMS did it's best and most successful work NOT chasing trends and pandering to pathetic otaku scum and instead let the artists take 100% control and work with Steven Spielberg instead.Toei Animation, Shin-Ei Doga, Nippon Animation and especially Eiken also did just fine ignoring trends and pathetic otaku scum, in fact thats why they're stood the test of time while those who do chase trends and pandering to pathetic otaku scum like KyoAni are on their death bed and are getting ass raped by OUT OIF ALL THINGS Season 14 of King of The Hill by Snipple due to since that fire everyone who made KyoAni click either died in that fire, moved to live action (JUST LIKE FRANK TASHLIN!), or went to Science Saru or Bones, leaving City with a skeleton crew and showing how much of a husk KyoAni became after that fire happened.
>>150097475all the biggest anime currently airing are just doing what they already knew was popular. anime largely hasn't been experimental or unique in 15 odd years.
>>150097523Not the case.

>>150097565Sazae-San.
>>150097586so in your mind is the simpsons still popular and relevant?
Don't reply to TMSfag
>>150097623Yes, in Latin American countries.

>>150097435>no you can't conquer other people because... you just can't!That's real ironic coming from you Wang, also no idea why you're bringing up that non-sequitur in response to stating a fact. Animation got it's start in France but America is the nation that made it mainstream and popularized the studio model. Even Japan made an animated film before China a good decade before them.

>>150080497>>150080550China is a dictatorship that can literally Force 100 million people to watch anything they want. (or go to jail/death)And they can do the same thing for selling any product.And people wonder how china gets large numbers for stuff.
>>150098110So the correct way to say that would be >Who's Wang? if you are trying to make a reference to my enormous treetrunk cock. OR>Who is Wang?If you are trying to suggest that I am in fact Chang. Hopefully this helps you earn an extra bathroom break through increased performance at your sweatshop.

>>150098377>Chinese, Korean, and Japanese people are very genetically similar, with a total genetic variation of less than 1% between them, but they are more closely related to each other than to European populations.right.

>>150095211there's something so interesting about something so cheap trying so very hard to look expensive, like they clearly put a lot of effort into something that just kind of sucks, like none of the designs make me want to know more about them, they all just look like cheap gacha characters, all overdesigned like fucking overwatch heroes. I couldn't give a shit about it if they paid me.
>>150098233> literally Force 100 million people to watch anything they want. Then why didn’t this happen with other Chinese films?
>>150098444>there's something so interesting about something so cheap trying so very hard to look expensiveat least it's not the opposite: something so costy that just looks cheap
>>150080497Nobody cares about ugly cgsloppa anymore except for nostalgic zoomer women.
>>150098444
>>150098458It takes time and effort.They have other things to do. If they did it for everything all the time, it might be too obvious. Keep it limited to keep it hidden.Just a guess.
>>150098458It did, it just wasn't reported on by the west and/or Japan/South Korea/Taiwan.

China can flood the market with as many 'totally natural' box office numbers as they want. This shit is natural for the bugmen. Give it a few years, and you'll find out that bugs bought fucktons of tickets online. You don't actually have to have a human being sitting down watching the movie to get box office ticket numbers, just the sales. It's easy. Wait a couple days for the few humans actually curious enough to watch it to do so, then buy up all the podunk theatres tickets online. Nobody believes the 'anecdotes' that the theatres were all empty, and now you have the propaganda that China can make movies that are popular in the US. Big studios, smelling money, will start working with bug studios, pumping out Journey to the West-slop as far as the slanted eye can see.
>>150098874Who?It was forgotten on Netflix?
>>150098989Chang, quick grade-school English lesson but you use the pronoun 'What' when referring to object and ideas, 'Who' is reserved for people. I don't know how it works in your chingchong language but that's how it works here.
>>150099071> languageMy language is English.I’m white.

>>150099689> taught you better mandarinI don’t know that language.putain de stupide anon
>>150080497I thought the movie was pretty good, I liked it. I think it wasn't really advertised well, not put in a wide release and also it being a 2nd movie made it a barrier of entry. You have to find the first movie watch that then go and see this. Is a lot. I wouldn't have known about it if I wasn't interested in it the first time when it came out subbed. I think it was simply all that.
>>150099689>YangYang is a cool name, that is like insulting a bong by calling him henry.
>>150100902I did it wrong, fack.
>>150098574Remember watching Ne Zha, even trying to have a thread for it. The pacing and story was kind of so-so, but maybe that's just the dub I was using for it fault.
This dragon is worth $2 billion
>>150093782I'm gonna watch it tomorrow, if it's still in theatres
>>150080497Its an ugly movie that is directed like shit with choppy movement. Only good scenes have been floating around the internet for months already. Only reason this did well in China is because they are familiar with this character and story already.
>>150101900It's so strange how his dragon form basically doesn't resemble his human form even a little. Like, as a dragon he looks way more manly instead of looking more like his son.
>>150102734> "in early development, ao guang looked quite boorish. after nezha 1 premiered and ao bing's handsome and elegant appearance resonated so deeply with people, as his father, we felt that ao guang's appearance needed to be elevated"Blame Fujos https://x.com/yunmengshi/status/1908480434759229676
>>150080497Does it even matter? China already pulled more domestically than the US has with all their summer blockbusters together
>>150102565> choppy movement.lol. Anime is more choppy
>>150083835You can just tell how fishy it is.
>>150103013How?
>>150103132Because they're sneaky Chinese
>>150097890See the original trailer, the dub trailer suckshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsXQijb0F4I
>>150084370Nice butt!
>>150103262At least the dub doesn't have inhuman bugmen screeching
>>150103216Americans are sneaky too
The film is coming to Brazil on Septemer the 25th. How do you think it will do there?
>>150103605About as well as it's done in every non-bugmen mandated market. Shitty.
>>150103605Japanese dub is coming.How will it do in Japan again?

What kind of name is Ne Zha, anyway? Gotta rename people for the western market? Fang Shiloh knew it.

>>150105084but anon, she's a bird
Way too hard to cross the cultural barrier. I never would have even seen it if not for some random recomendation I read while goonscrollingAnyway, here's a family of cats. I think the movie will likely do much better on streaming.

>>150102509have fun! it's a fun action film

It spammed my Instagram and tiktok so I didn't watch. The people on the ads are obviously paid actors
>>150106912you got ads for this movie? a24 are actually doing something to market it?
>>150106941I guess so. And the ads are cringe. Black guy and random influencers screaming their lungs out like it's the best thing ever. Very similar to the shill threads here racing about $5 billion gross income constantly
>>150106976>influencers ffs how do they not know how to shill this movie properlyit's an action movie almost the entire way throughit's not hard to post some of the most epic action scenes
>>150106976> Black guy and random influencers screamingThey like kung fu and dragon ball
>>150097889Chinamen would like it then?
>>150080497The movie was pretty aggressively Chinese, though that was part of the charm for me. I can’t imagine the sequel to a film most people don’t know exist would do well here in America, though me and my friend getting the whole theater to ourselves was fun.
>>150106589Korean movies are pretty good. I got into that first before the whole kpop wave blew up
>>150105092That just makes it better
>>150080550This, china is the land of shortcuts and illusions, they lie all the damn time, and though that may work over in bugland, in the west we are very blunt and tell you how we feel, if your movie is mid we will call it mid.
>>150080497The Americanx, that's why.
>>150080550>Mfw I was reading about the First Opium War yesterday and one of the main reasons it dragged on for so long was because a local governor kept ensuring the Emperor that they'd defeated the British at several key battles when the British had actually decimated the Chinese forces>The only reason the Emperor caught on was him receiving a conflicting report from another governor much closer to Beijing saying "Brits are here and they fucked us hard".Some things never change
I simply do not like chinks or their culture, its alien to me in the same way pajeet culture is.They should learn from Japan and invent a language that sounds like something civilised humans would speak.
>>150080497A limited release dub for a sequel they did no advertising for. The kinds of people who want to watch it would want to do so in chinese with subs.
>>150112712"go ahead derek, speak a lil chinese for em derek"
>>150092718It's based on who the US gov likes. Korean and Japanese society aren't better, but they are reliant on the US and that's what the US likes.
>>150080497The movie is very Chinese in its subject matter and themes, so it may not appeal to Americans?
ok
>>150115492What's the rundown on this dude that keeps bumping random threads off of page 10?
>>150115538Obvious CCP-sponsored shill
>>150098458Didn't the recent 731 movie do those kinds of numbers?
>>150115595Nah it's in totally random threads that I can't actually see a real pattern in, sometimes it's even just random webcomic update threads.
>>150080497What an unappealing design. It looks like a sleep deprived haunted androgynous kid
>>150111026>>Mfw I was reading about the First Opium War yesterday and one of the main reasons it dragged on for so long was because a local governor kept ensuring the Emperor that they'd defeated the British at several key battles when the British had actually decimated the Chinese forces>>The only reason the Emperor caught on was him receiving a conflicting report from another governor much closer to Beijing saying "Brits are here and they fucked us hard"no fucking way

Labubu and Ne Zha are Chicom attempts to force a culture victory, but the Chinks have had their souls ruined by Communism. Their culture is a hollowed out skinsuit to sell tours of temples to tourists, all because every commie fuckhead tries to Year Zero everything, and tosses the baby out with the bathwater.
