anime 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.

Because it’s a sequel to a movie a lot of people wouldn’t have watched, plus Nezha has an ugly ass design.

>>150080861
Nah 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 bars

Fortunately we are a lot more compatible when it comes to tourism but most Americans would hate living there longer than a year.

>>150081046
burgers 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.

>>150080497 (OP)
People realized he wasn't a girl.

>>150081076
That'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

???
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?

Turns 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.

>>150080870
There'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

>>150080497 (OP)
No 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.

>>150080497 (OP)
Chinese 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?

>>150080497 (OP)

I 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.

Correct 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.

>>150081081
This 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?

>>150084142
the 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)

It made 6x the amount in the US currently compared to the first one, so flop is relative.

>>150080497 (OP)
The 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.

>>150084319
I 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.

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.

>>150084358
That 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.

Chinese film for Chinese people

Last time I pointed this i was called a jew lol

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

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.

It 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.

>>150085572
LOL, 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 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.

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.

You don't have much choice in china since non Chinese movies don't get released at all and if they get released the government stumps their marketing and distribution

since this seems to be the chinese thread, I just discovered To Be Hero X existed!

Why are Korea and Japan so much better at psyoping the west into enjoying their media?
China just can't get a win on this front.

>>150083835
>Perfectly round divisible number
Sure.

>>150092718
The highest grossing Wapanese Anime ever made didn't even break into the top 60 animated movies in the US.

>>150092718
Korea 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.

>>150092753
And let me add: Mugan Train's US grosses wouldn't even put it much above this Chinkslop.

>>150092753
Because western weebs don’t go to theatres

I'm not as easily impressed by Chinkery as you are.

You need to watch it in Chinese.

>>150093523
It's an unpleasant language to listen to, and adds absolutely nothing to the experience, unless you are a demented ricebug worshipper.

>>150093523
Not racist but Mandarin is really grating to listen to

>>150093553
Racist

>>150093643
Don't say that

Now that Kpop Demon Hunters is no longer in theatres, do you think it might do any better?

>>150091003
They 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.

>>150093916
No. It’s just the best movie of the year

Real numbers

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

>>150094108
Yes, 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.

>>150094253
Why 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?

>>150080497 (OP)

We 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.

>>150092896
nah 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.

>>150080497 (OP)
Like 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.

Why are the Chinese so xenophobic? They hate people who don't look like them way more than the average American hates other races.

>>150094581
And gay

>>150085468
Actual CCP propaganda in real time, my God.

Name a better movie than Ne Zha 2 that came out this year.

I’ll wait

>>150092873
Bugmen shills don't count

>>150092718
Because Koreans and Japanese don't live in an Orwellian hellhole and can actually make the kind of art they want without much restriction.

>>150085385
99% 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.

>>150095830
Ne zha 3 > Avatar

>>150083974
Dances with wolves plots are insanely popular in the west.

Spiderverse used “machine learning” and people praise it?

Popular in China as well. Those Avatar movies are huge over there.

>>150096180
It's not genAIslop, it's actually used like a tool with purpose to automate a tedious and time-consuming process like the AIshills like to repeat ad-nauseam

>>150085752
Avatar and Zootopia are safe bets on being highest grossing American films of the year.

>>150085644
Taiwan and Tiananmen

chasing trends and pandering to pathetic otaku scum are the only ways you make money in that industry. don't hate the player hate the game.

>>150097037
And China copies it just like this shit is Kung Fu Panda.

So everyone copied America? And America stole their land from native Americans.

Cope fag

>>150097158
Not 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.

>>150097475
all 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.

>>150097523
Not the case.

>>150097552
name one unique popular anime airing right now that isn't trend chasing in some fashion.

>>150097565
Sazae-San.

>>150097586
so in your mind is the simpsons still popular and relevant?

Don't reply to TMSfag

>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.
