According to "Iron Man 3 smashes opening box office record in China" , Iron Man 3 has becomes a latest western movie that set to China's highest-grossing movie of all time, making a record-breaking $65m in its first weekend after 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' and 'Batman:The Dark Knight Rises' were done before.
This news didn't made me a big surprise as others since I know a lot of Chinese teenager and they absolutely occupied by American dream, they imagine that one day their country will be developed like USA, they want to admission to Ivy league's college , and also want they quality of life as good as New yorker as they seen on TV. In that very close country the seed of need was was planted.
In addition, for Chinese people, the movie that was imported to their country was one channel to see what happen outside because they have a censorship law which press by the government, they cant use facebook,youtube, and instragram 'legally', that make Chinese who want to see western and exotic life lining up for this movie.
More over, with more than 1 trillions people, make China win the first rank of country with most population in the world, after 'open' country Chinese people becoming more rich then they can spent their life with entertainment without any problem, in spite a few years ago , movie is a thing that very extravagant like the quote said by the elder Chinese in Thai, "Only a rich boy who go to the cinema", but now these was thew away. Chinese people love to show that they rich and more than love to make they richer, its no wonder why a lot of Chinese can go to big department store , buy a sumptuous bag , and drive a European car.
With there reason above , It's no doubt that a dragon like China climbing to be a largest movie market that place that now owning by USA. and what is the reflex from Hollywood ? Sure, it's a better than good , big film company like Paramount just launched the new reality to find the new-face cast in China for the next Transformer movie ,The Walt Disney Company and Marvel Studios made the special scene added to Iron man3 for China only, and so many of movie around to world want to pass the Chinese-censorship to gain a fish in China . And yes , on of those is Thailand, GTH the owner of 'PHEE MAK PRA KA NONG' , the highest Thai box bluster movie do every a single way to going to China but unfortunately this movie have some story about ghost and supernatural that hardly to pass the censor committee.
