Like @craftsman pointed out, that's going to hurt US businesses. I wouldn't say it hurts them. It's missed opportunity but they look to be doing just fine without them. I read this quote from a Reuters article: "China is not a "make or break" market for Pixar, one theater industry source said. It contributed a mere 3% to the global box office for "Toy Story 4," which grossed more than $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales in 2019, according to Comscore."

vomit 502 Posted August 16, 2022 37 minutes ago, EternalShinyAndChrome said: Yeah, I'm not the one that keeps yapping about some irrelevant earnings report that's not even germane to the discussion. You've proven nothing, Jon Snow. So Disney has earned a whopping $0 USD from China in their last 7 movies. That is because China won't let Disney release their woke garbage into their country. Here is what Disney movies made IN CHINA ALONE before they started releasing woke trash: https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-money-marvel-movies-made-at-china-box-office-2021-11. That's right, you read that correctly. Disney earned 629 MILLION DOLLARS on Avengers: End Game alone just in China. Of course, Disney doesn't get to take all of that home because China takes a cut as well, but now when you look at that list I just presented to you and you add all that those 23 movies that were released in China they earned roughly around 3.14 BILLION WITH a "B" - IN CHINA ALONE - you dumbfuck. Now the last 7 woke movies they released earned $0 f@cking dollars. That is profit they didn't make because they want to appease panzy's like you. How long do you think that's going to last? THAT is the point, you dumb m###########. That's great. They don't care. They are doing well otherwise. Fock china. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a China issue, not Disney issue. I get the word 'ban', but there is a fine line between calling it that and catering to your target audience. It's up to the company. As in this scenario it's not illegal to make movies catered to the difference audiences. We do it within our own country all the time. We have a BET network, religious channels, kids, XM radio has both raw comedy channels as well as clean comedy channels. Etc... China just doesn't want it. So the company can cater to them or give up the revenue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So selling things to China is "bowing" to them? And who said in this thread that the NBA shouldn't sell to China? And I think it was the NBA players who hate the US but praise China that were the butt of jokes from things I've seen on other sites. Really weird take...

When companies make slasher movies, are they bowing down to people who like those movies? No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not just going woke though and it's not making them go broke. Not even close, actually. They ban movies from all companies for numerous reasons. Dealing with China in the movie industry is just another part of doing business. Before 1999, I believe all US movies were banned in China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bowing a knee? So companies in the US who create products or services geared towards specific target customers are bowing a knee to them? Crazy me. I thought they were in business to create and increase profits? But yet, when a tampon company creates tampons and markets it and tries to sell it to women only, they are "bowing a knee" to women?
