...made more what than Avatar? JML897

apparently yes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monga_(film) "The movie opened in Taiwan on 5 February 2010 and grossed NT$8.31 million (US$260,000) in the first day and NT$59.32 million (US$1.85 million) in its first weekend of release, higher than the worldwide hit Avatar that week." -wikipedia

It made more than Avatar for thatone week...not overall.

The film Monga, that came out recently.

LegitGamer3212

what its about

Um, TC, maybe I've read your post wrong, but Avatar made about $77 million on it's first weekend... so yeah.

Wasn't there a user who asked if he should change his style to look like the guy in the white shirt?clayron

Yeah I remember that thread he wanted to wear a white beater and what not. I think its the same guy.

Aren't you the one who wanted to dress like that guy for some reason..

Edit: In after :(

Alright so who is the Bruce Lee Look-a-like on the left in the Monga picture? Thats the first thing that popped into my head was Bruce Lee when i looked at that guy. i might check it out, but I have never heard of it until now.

Monga did perform better in domestic box office, but to say that it made more than the best selling film of all time is totally false.

imo though, Monga is better than Avatar. it's the kind of quality commercial titles that Taiwanese film industry desperately needs to establish itself as more than just a niche cowering under its Hong Kong and Chinese counterparts.

that was a fun thread, i'm talking about avatar and this movie now...not about beaters

Lol.

I would watch it, but it's not Avatar so I'll pass.

reminds me of when titanic came out and everyone was saying "Biggest selling movie ever" and forgot to mention the korean movie Shiru(about terrorists planning to bomb the world cup) I think it was called that sold lots more but because it wasnt hollywood no one would mention it

I would watch it. What's it about?

Sigh_han

gangs, and how student turned rebels plan to over throw the taiwanese government because of how angry they are at its policies

i understand your point of who cares which one made more, but you backing it up with saying there are more asians in the world so more people is going to watch it is silly non sense. Avatar was shown world wide like i said which means MORE people could have watched it. Furthermore, does it matter who watches what? i can be a white european guy and watch indian movies does it matter?

Is this supposed to be an insult or something? If it wasn't made in taiwan you might have a point. It's not exactly easy as pie to watch movies released outside the US>

Making more in one week is pretty impressive, but it won't hold momentum long. But now I'm interested in it.JustPlainLucas

it's pretty good, i'm sure you can get it online or on dvd with english subtitles
