Hmm, must be the case then. It was a 2D screening in an average cinema (Cineworld in Stockport for anyone who would care to know).
Word on the streets is that Pacific Rim did extremely well in the Chinese market (it was released on Wednesday). GDT and this movie deserve all the money they can get, and I hope it's a kazillion bucks.
Yeah it got a record breaking 9 million opening in China. Which isn't much compared to the US but is huge for China. It's only just passed its budget though by making 226m worldwide so far, so here's hoping it'll keep going.
It hasn't even been a month and it passed it's huge budget. Once merchandising and bluray sales are factored execs are gonna be blowing dtoros dick for a timely sequel.
The amount of hatred for Pacific Rim on /tv/ is truly horrifying.
Nerd level BG nitpick hatred, or I hate seeing this succeed where my aninu never will hatred?
This movie was awesome.
Wheres my god damn shoe?
Just at the moment however, Chinese box office doesn't matter.

More gossip. So apparently it's earned 70M so far in China, that's amazing for an opening weekend over there. Especially if you compare it to the US one (38M), I still can't believe Grown Ups 2 earned more. Another sign the US is going to burn in hell soon. Anyway, the Japanese audience will get their chance to see it next week. If they don't embrace this shit, I don't know what to tell you because chances are they'll never ever see anything like this again in a billion years. Their vision of catering to the world's audience instead of just 'Murica seems to be working...
It did a 45.2m in China. Not sure where you got the 70m but its a great number nonetheless.
I got a question. Why do people care how much it made?
More gossip in a bad news kinda way. So it turns out that it ain't making shit in Japan, word going around is that it will barely make 3M bucks over the weekend. Wtf? It made 5.5M in Mexico ffs. If Guillermo had thrown in a Mexican jaeger it would've earned more. Anyways, japan can go fuck itself.
Kinda suprised, kinda not. To them, giant robots are a dime a dozen. When you got Gundams in space swinging giant swords and shooting lazors already, this isnt that impressive. Even giant monsters is old news to them, thanks Godzilla! Also no animated boob physics = no go.
