The Hollywood Reporter: Fast and Furious 9 Box Office Falls 85% In China Due to Poor Reviews, John Cena ApologyLive by the CCP, die by the CCP. Chinese filmgoers have hit the brakes on Justin Lin's F9. The Universal tentpole downshifted 85 percent in its second weekend, earning just $20.8 million compared to its $136 million roaring opening weekend. Last week, The Hollywood Reporter ran a long, long article noting that Hollywood is beginning to wonder what kind of hostile tyrannical Communist propaganda regime they've gotten into bed with, this time. Disney hired a female Chinese director to helm its upcoming bomb "The Eternals" precisely to guarantee Chinese box-office. (Well, that and to virtue signal about diversity.) Unfortunately, this female Chinese director was... honest about the shitty Communist tyranny that China is, and now China is talking about blocking The Eternal's release in the Middle Kingom. "Please note in your ongoing coverage of Nomadland that Chloe Zhao is a Chinese filmmaker," an executive for Disney-owned Searchlight emailed members of the Hollywood press on March 4. "You may accurately refer to her as Chinese or a Chinese National." Disney got a media company to cover up for Communist China. What a surprise. But word about the quote had already reached China: [A]rchived versions were unearthed in China shortly after Zhao s best director win at the Golden Globes, setting off a social media backlash that prompted Chinese authorities to cancel the local release of Nomadland in April and expunge most mentions of Zhao from the internet. The controversy reached its zenith with the Oscars being fully censored in China, just as a homegrown hero was capturing the film world's biggest prize. By the way, although Marvel greenlit this movie for the Chinese market, it too will probably not be welcomed in China. Because, while it stars a Chinese actor, he is Chinese-American. And the Chinese do not like that. But you got in bed with China so eat it, Disney. A point worth remembering: China doesn't let any foreigner into any of its markets. To be allowed in, you have to create a partner organization with Chinese citizens, who must control (if I recall correctly) at least 51% of the venture. All of these movies are being released through 51% Chinese joint ventures. And they're taking more of the take than any other foreign country demands. The article goes on to note that through the Obama years, Americans treated China like California in the gold rush, and tripped over themselves to form Chinese-partnered companies there. But now most of them are failing. Their sweet sweet American dollars have died in China, and will stay there. ... Oh right: Tibet is another country that it is forbidden to say exists. Here comes the most important part of this article: China has co-opted Hollywood to turn it into a propaganda machine for the Chinese Communist machine, with the promise of untold fortunes. They haven't delivered the fortunes. But China has gotten its propaganda machine.
But China will not allow Hollywood to offer the most nuanced critique of China. Or even an acknowledgment that Taiwan and Tibet are countries. And Hollywood continues playing along, all for the promise of money that will one day come, but never quite does. The guys at Midnight's Edge speculate that the fact that Hollywood is now allowing/directing this piece to be written in an industry newspaper means that Hollywood is now trying to tell China they object to its terms. But I doubt that. And even if they whine, so what? They will continue doing what their Chinese paymasters tell them to do. Even if their Chinese paymasters are not paying them quite what they think they ought to be paid. Razorfist discusses this, below. If you want more Bad News for Hollywood -- Overlord DVD claims that his anonymous tipsters tell him that the Batman movie is so bad that executives are debating between releasing a stinker or putting another hundred million into it for expensive reshoots which might not actually fix the problems. A la Justice League. That is just a rumor, as Overlord cannot confirm those claims. I would like to think it's true. In more Bad News for Hollywood, Disney's Cruella opened weakish at the box office with a take of only $7.7 million Friday night of Memorial Day weekend. $27 million through the three-day Memorial Day weekend. | Recent Comments
