https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ ... na-1071810Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi is off to an inauspicious start in China, its final major box-office test.The Star Wars franchise historically has underperformed in China, but the early results for The Last Jedi look even worse than expected.
The film earned $560,000 (3.65 million RMB) in midnight previews, well behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens' $2.5 million (16 million RMB) in previews — and way behind The Fate of the Furious' record $8.7 million preview total (60 million RMB).
Worse still, Friday's early box-office results have The Last Jedi clearly losing to local comedy The Ex-Files 3: The Return of the Exes. As of 1:30 pm, Beijing time, The Last Jedi had earned approximately $4 million (26 million RMB) compared to Ex-Files 3's $6.6 million (43 million RMB), according to data from mobile ticketing service Maoyan.
The results came despite The Last Jedi getting substantially more screens — a 35.6 percent share of all Chinese screens compared to Ex-Files' 32.3 percent share (again, as of 1:30 pm on Friday). Ex-Files also opened in China a full week ago.
Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Avatar is terrible. It got its praise for its imagery and innovation. It's an extremely forgettable and hamfisted take on Native Americans and colonialists, with tons of cheeseballs characters and a main character with less depth than Tommy.Vader182 wrote:But Avatar is a good movie.darthnazgul wrote:Well when Avatar is the highest grossing film ever, it's not a good indication of film quality.

Even if that's true, it doesn't make it hold up any better in 2018.BlairCo wrote: Credit was given where credit was due.

In your opinion. It still works for me, even though it’s a lesser effort than T2, Aliens, The Abyss DC or even True Lies.Geoffrey wrote:Even if that's true, it doesn't make it hold up any better in 2018.BlairCo wrote: Credit was given where credit was due.
How the fuck are critics from 2009 gonna know if Avatar will hold up in 2018?Geoffrey wrote:Even if that's true, it doesn't make it hold up any better in 2018.BlairCo wrote: Credit was given where credit was due.
