The Middle Kingdom market is about to become very crowded.
JACK REACHER NEVER GO BACK MOVIE
Statham’s star has continued to grow in South East Asia owing to his various action franchises and this movie dominated screens with about double the daily showings of Jack Reacher. The first Mechanic rolled into China after the summer blackout of 2012 and action fans who’d been deprived of Hollywood movies flocked to see it. That performance tops the Jason Statham-starring pic’s entire domestic run which began in August and comes despite a 26% rotten score on the Tomatometer. The first one made just $15M locally and this one is playing similarly.Ĭompetition was also tough, especially from Mechanic: Resurrection in first place with a $24M start. But the character doesn’t seem to have resonated with local audiences the way some of Cruise’s other movies do. The $60M budgeted movie has significant Chinese investment from Huahua Media and Shanghai Film Group who are acting as marketing partners - and Cruise earlier this month engaged in a local promotional push. This current weekend in China saw a lackluster start for Jack Reacher with $5.6M in 4th place. The movie travels to China on November 4 in a day-and-date release with the U.S. Benedict Cumberbatch’s titular (and erstwhile) neurosurgeon is hitting such majors as the UK, France, Australia, Germany, Mexico and Korea. Next week sees the release of the latest Marvel movie as Doctor Strange starts offshore rollout in 32 markets ahead of domestic. At this time in 2015, Fox’s The Martian, Sony’s Hotel Transylvania 2 and Disney/Marvel’s Ant-Man were in charge and nearing major milestones. Versus last year, this weekend is up 8% across the Top 10. Across the Top 10 titles there was a 3% jump from last week when Inferno debuted in a pre-domestic release pattern that will see it hit $100M international before getting to North America later this week. Accompanying the ex-military policeman at the top of the charts are Tom Hanks holdover Inferno with $28.9M ($94.8M intl cume) and Jason Statham sequel Mechanic: Resurrection with $28.2M in the Middle Kingdom ($50M intl cume). UPDATE, SUNDAY PM: Tom Cruise-starrer Jack Reacher: Never Go Back led the international box office this weekend with a $31.5M debut in 42 markets, including a soft start in China. In total, Never Go Back bested the Sunday estimate with $31.5M in 42 markets and was the weekend leader (more detail below).
JACK REACHER NEVER GO BACK PLUS
With the downturn in the market amid constant shifts plus younger, more discerning audiences, China is becoming tougher for Hollywood to crack and this franchise just hasn’t clicked with Chinese audiences. Certainly no one blames Cruise who remains a huge and willing star. While Never Go Back was expected to do better in China, rival execs weren’t necessarily pointing fingers over the outcome. He is tall and slim, despite an appalling diet and a refusal to exercise.'Battle At Lake Changjin II' Tops $300M In China Lunar New Year Frame Still Down Versus 2021 Lee spends his spare time reading, listening to music, and watching the Yankees, Aston Villa, or Marseilles soccer. In the US he drives a supercharged Jaguar, which was built in Jaguar's Browns Lane plant, thirty yards from the hospital in which he was born. Lee has three homes-an apartment in Manhattan, a country house in the south of France, and whatever airplane cabin he happens to be in while traveling between the two. The first Jack Reacher movie, based on the novel One Shot and starring Tom Cruise and Rosamund Pike, was released in December 2012.
JACK REACHER NEVER GO BACK SERIES
Killing Floor was an immediate success and launched the series which has grown in sales and impact with every new installment. Always a voracious reader, he decided to see an opportunity where others might have seen a crisis and bought six dollars' worth of paper and pencils and sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series. But he was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate restructuring. He went to law school in Sheffield, England, and after part-time work in the theater he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director during British TV's "golden age." During his tenure his company made Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown, Prime Suspect, and Cracker. By coincidence he won a scholarship to the same high school that JRR Tolkien had attended. Lee Child was born October 29th, 1954 in Coventry, England, but spent his formative years in the nearby city of Birmingham.
