Q: What are the most popular English films in China?
2012 and Avatar, I know.
Anything with a lot of stunts and expolisions, they like Rambo movies and Bond movies, Space Alien movies etc. I watch movies with Chinese people and they like to think the movies are good as well. They know what a stupid, it sucks movie is!
I read somewhere that Avatar was so popular the government took it out of lots of cinemas and replaced it with some locally made film.

yup, they pulled all the 3D prints to make room for the Confucius movie. but Avatar still made more money with only 2D prints. they learned their lesson thou, this year they delayed transformers 3 and harry potter a whole two moths to make sure the founding of the communist party was a hit. i remember reading an article about it. how many places got tickets in bulk and gave the day off tho their workers to go see it. but most dint bother so the cinema was sold out. but empty
The Chinese seem to love sci-fi and their government seems freaked out about this... for sure Avatar and Transformers Kung-Fu Panda...
Garfield 2 and Transformers 2 were the two top grossers last time I checked, though that was a while ago. Of course, not much foreign makes it to the theatres. I suspect more American movies are watched on DVD and youku.
In general, it seems teen comedies, action movies and dramas do the best, which makes sense as those genres tend to be broad enough that cultural differences don't get in the way. Just like Kung fu, later-day Stephen Chow and weepy, heavily-visual art films tend to cross over more the other way.
harry potter, transformers, avatar, 2012, they also loved district 9
I left a bunch of movies that I had with me,, Chech and Chong,, Lethal Weapon 6, Die Hard-Die Twice. the new one.
