Apparently China Is Really, Really Into Green Book

Apparently China Is Really, Really Into Green Book

This years recent Oscars ceremony may have ended in shock for many when Green Book took home Best Picture, but the movie's Oscar success has definitely been beneficial. Since the win, Green Book has seen been showing off its Oscar halo in 63 markets including a 121% boost at the domestic box office and has just become No. 1 in China.

Thats right, China loves Green Book! The 2019 Best Picture opened at an impressive $17.2 million opening weekend behind How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (which made $33 million) and Alita: Battle Angel ($24 million) before rising to the top spot on Monday with an overall $25 million by Wednesday, per The Hollywood Reporter. Green Book is now the countrys second highest-grossing Best Picture winner, behind Titanic.

The movie is also scoring seriously high reviews from Chinese critics and moviegoers. For example, the movie received a 9.6 out of 10 rating on Maoyan, a Chinese ticketing app. But wait Green Book is an all-American story about race relations in the deep South. What about that screams an instant hit for China? There are a few reasons why.

The answer is timing. The Academy Awards are well-followed in China and the Best Picture winner opened in theaters across the country just three days after the telecast. The award show created some effective buzz for Green Book, since the film took home three Oscars out of five nominations including a second Supporting Actor win for Mahershala Ali and Best Original Screenplay.

Additionally, the richest man in China, tech tycoon and CEO of Alibaba Pictures, Jack Ma, was an investor on Green Book and made it well known to Chinese media. The film studio has also had a hand in investing Mission: Impossible Fallout and Star Trek Beyond which made $181 and $65 million in China, respectively.

Another contributing factor to Green Books success in China is the same reason why the film was met with backlash and controversy over from American audiences. Many have criticized the movie for its mediocre approach in presenting the complexity of race relations and its use of the tiresome white savoir trope.

Green Book was also called out by the family of Don Shirley (played by Mahershala Ali), who called out the movie for being full of lies and the film is based off one of the films writers Nick Vallelonga recalling his own memories from his father (played by Viggo Mortenson). One important perspective of the race relations movie may seem to be missing due to this.

Many moviegoers in China dont have intricate understanding of Americas complicated ties with racism, just as with Americans, many of us dont claim to understand the history of the Chinese people. So what might have seemed uninspired to many in Green Book, may have been just Chinas speed as they needed little background knowledge to follow along.

Factors such as these is a good reminder of why some Hollywood movies become hits in unexpected markets and Green Book is the latest example.

Justice League Ends Box Office Run As The Least Popular DC Movie

Justice League Ends Box Office Run As The Least Popular DC Movie

Much like The Avengers was the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 1 lineup of movies, last year's Justice League built off the events of director Zack Snyder's previous DC Extended Universe movies, Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. For a long time, Justice League was being touted as one of the biggest DC movies yet, and it had the potential to be one of 2017's biggest blockbusters. However, not only was the DC team-up movie met with mixed critical reaction, it also commercially underperformed, and with its theatrical run having finally come to an end, it now officially ranks as the lowest grossing DCEU movie thus far.

According to Box Office Mojo, Justice League collected nearly $658 million worldwide during its time in theaters, a little over $229 million of which came from domestic screenings. For many blockbusters, a haul like this would be considered a terrific achievement, but considering that Justice League had a $300 million budget, it's nothing to write home about, although Justice League did help Time Warner surpass its financial expectations during 2017's fourth quarter. Of the other DCEU movies, Man of Steel ranks above Justice League with $668 million worldwide, while Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is at the top of the list with $873.6 million worldwide. Alas, this franchise has yet deliver a movie that hits the $1 billion mark.

It's a shame that a movie like Justice League, which could have been one of the biggest superhero movies of all time, ended up being the least popular DCEU movie commercially. Critically, Justice League earned a better overall reception than Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, but it still walked away with more negative reviews than positive ones, which certainly could have played a role in not as many people going to see it in theaters. Justice League dealt with a number of issues during its production process, from Joss Whedon taking over the movie during post-production following Zack Snyder's departure due to the death of his daughter, to Henry Cavill being unable to shave his Mission: Impossible - Fallout mustache for the reshoots, resulting in CGI being used to awkwardly cover it up for his Superman scenes.

In the end, Justice League can't be be classified as a full-blown commercial disaster, but clearly audiences weren't as interested in catching it on the big screen as they were its predecessors. The DCEU is still chugging along for the foreseeable future, and several Justice League members have their own movies coming up soon. It's just a shame that Justice League ultimately didn't end up being the kind of box office success many a DC fan had dreamed about.

Justice League is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD, and if you're interested in learning what we thought of the movie, you can read our review. There's no word on if/when Justice League 2 will move forward, but the DCEU will continue on December 21 with the release of Aquaman, and Shazam! and Wonder Woman 2 will follow on April 5, 2019 and November 1, 2019, respectively.

The Funny Way Aladdins Mena Massoud Goofed During His Introduction To Will Smith

The Funny Way Aladdins Mena Massoud Goofed During His Introduction To Will Smith

Getting the opportunity to meet a prominent figure in any work field is a universally intimidating experience to which we can all relate, but its easy to imagine that its particularly nerve-wracking for actors. After all, becoming a prominent figure in the performing arts means that they are one of the most famous people on the planet, and being around anyone with that kind of popularity and power can put a person a bit off their game. This in mind, its pretty easy to understand why Mena Massoud made an awkward mistake the first time he had the opportunity to meet Will Smith in the making of Guy Ritchies Aladdin.

So what exactly happened? To put it plainly, Massouds introduction to Smith wasnt so much an introduction, as the young actor actually completely forgot to introduce himself. This is a funny story that I had the opportunity to learn this past weekend during the Los Angeles press day for Aladdin, as Massoud told me about his first time meeting the headliner of the new fantasy blockbuster:

Yeah, I definitely geeked out. The first time I met him was during prep before we started shooting, and I was so nervous I forgot to say my name when I went up and introduced myself. So really I didn't introduce myself. So I had to backtrack and go back and it was a little awkward for me. But it's a dream come true. Me and the boys would get together when we were younger and put on a Will Smith movie. So it's amazing.

So its not the most embarrassing situation weve heard about behind-the-scenes in Hollywood, but one can also picture it as a blush-inducing moment.

Mena Massoud does have a fair amount of acting experience under his belt, his first role being in a 2011 episode of the television series Nikita but Aladdin is definitely a big deal for his career. Not only is it the first major blockbuster of which hes been a part, but its also the first opportunity that hes had to play the titular role in anything. It was also his first chance to work alongside an A-lister on the level of Will Smith, so one can fully understand why he would totally forget to say his own name during the initial introduction.

Awkward as that may have been at the start, fortunately things definitely worked out well in the end. The relationship between Mena Massouds Aladdin and Will Smiths character, Genie, is one of the most important in the film, and its also one of the best parts of the finished product. They have a great back and forth together, and youd never guess watching the movie that things got off to a bit of an odd start when they first met.

You can watch Mena Massoud discuss his first opportunity meeting Will Smith by clicking play on the video below:

In addition to starring Mena Massoud and Will Smith, Aladdin also features Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, Billy Magnussen, and Numan Acar, and you can see them all on the big screen this weekend as the Disney film arrives in theaters everywhere. Given that its the biggest release of the Memorial Day holiday you can be sure that well have plenty more coverage coming your way in the next few days, so be sure to keep coming back to CinemaBlend for more.
