Aamir Khan's 'Secret Superstar' beats 'Star Wars' at China's box office with over $117 mn

It is just because the "Aamir Khan effect". Chinese do not pay attention to Bollywood.
If this movie is Sahlman Khan... hehe...

Yes looks like he has good fan following now. His movies are making so much money in China its unbelievable.

It doesn't mean that Chinese audience love Bollywood films when only Aamir Khan's films are a hit. They still like local and Hollywood movies more. Animation is slowly growing popular.

Chinese have taste for some strange movies.

Can you name websites/ blogs which report movie earnings in China Mainland/ as well as Macau/ Hk?

Getting all these funny numbers for Secret Superstart just looks too fishy.. may be true, just wanted to confirm?

lets analyse:

just look at wikipedia(doubt any people would bother to edit and falsify the entire list just to fullfill their own agenda)

Rank Movie Total gross Country Year
1 Wolf Warrior 2 5.679 billion China 2017
2 The Mermaid 3.392 billion China
Hong Kong 2016
3 The Fate of the Furious 2.669 billion United States 2017
4 Monster Hunt 2.440 billion China
Hong Kong 2015
5 Furious 7 2.427 billion United States 2015
6 Never Say Die 2.202 billion China 2017
7 Transformers: Age of Extinction 1.978 billion United States
China 2014
8 The Ex-File 3: The Return of the Exes 1.913 billion China 2017
9 Kung Fu Yoga 1.753 billion China
India 2017
10 Mojin: The Lost Legend 1.683 billion China 2015
11 Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back 1.656 billion China

Hong Kong 2017
12 Lost in Hong Kong 1.614 billion China 2015
13 Transformers: The Last Knight 1.546 billion United States 2017
14 Zootopia 1.530 billion United States 2016
15 Warcraft 1.472 billion United States 2016
16 Avengers: Age of Ultron 1.464 billion United States 2015
17 Goodbye Mr. Loser 1.442 billion China 2015
18 Jurassic World 1.421 billion United States 2015
19 Youth 1.405 billion China 2017
20 Avatar 1.340 billion United States 2009
21 Dangal 1.299 billion India 2017





if we look at:

'Khan’s 2017 'Dangal' drew $193 million in China last year, according to Boxofficemojo.com. By comparison, the biggest take for a foreign-language film ever in the North American market was $128 million take for 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' almost two decades ago. 'Secret Superstar' is on track to become the second-biggest selling non-blockbuster in China with box office revenue of about 743 million yuan ($117 million), Maoyan estimates'



and that according to wikipedia, Dangal was number 21 on the list,

21 Dangal 1.299 billion

India 2017


then we can safely conclude that Secret superstar, which made $117 mn(lesser than Dangal),is atually less popular than Dangal in China- not to mention Star wars, which the article used as a benchmark- did not even made it to the the list here.

We can also see Chinese(Mainland, Hongkong, etc) and Hollywood(US) films dominate the film market in china. Oh and btw for those who didnt know, Chinese Wanda Group owns several Hollywood film studios.


Hence, we can see the article itself here- is just more Bharat propaganda.

Haha

did you enjoy typing this comment on a made in China smart phone, laptop or tablet

Bro they dismantle India in every single field compared to India. you arent even in the same league

Except population growth, democracy and diplomacy.

 

[Sully3]

Except population growth, democracy and diplomacy.

Haven't they been slapping India in the face regarding NSG for 20 years now

 

[Vanamali]

If you put eligibility as 95% agreement, then also India would have won hands down. Let China use its diplomacy instead of veto then you can talk of slapping. Till then enjoy cheerleading Bhai.

[Ocean]

How chinese understand hindi films?

Also indians celebrating here is weird they think all 200-300 crores earned will be taken away by indians , suhc delusions, chinese are seasoned businessman they have some collections sharing percentages involved here, indians wouldnt be allowed to take more than 25pc earned from film rest 75 pc will stay inside china. Thats the genuine type of business conducted.

 

[NakedLunch]

If India didn't have Muslims what would it do? LOL! The most well known landmark in India is the Taj Mahal. built by Muslims. Amir Khan is another Muslim, like many other Muslims without whom India would be a desolate backwater of snake charmers and sex-mad yogis.

 

[NoOne'sBoy]

I doubt indian movies make it big in china. chinese and east asians in general are huge white worshippers. they would watch any shit as long as it's made by a white man. there's ismt much hope for intercultural exchanges in these situations.
