lol why lau ching wan still making movies, his face really took me out of the trailer, i can't shake off his greed of man role. HK don't have younger more talented actors to choose from kah?

Unfortunately, there’s a big gap since TVB went downhill from late 90’s onwards.

The last movie star that came out from TVB is Louis Koo and that was back in the 90’s.

The leading man of TVB in the 90’s who did not go out to movies are still leading man in TVB today.

There are a few younger leading man in TVB today but they are just not movie star quality level.

HK movie industry deserved this outcome after years and years of letting all these "Ah Gor Ah Jie" control, exploit, and took up all the opportunities for themselves without leaving any for the young stars.

Now all these old stars are about to retire after earning loads of money and fame, suddenly the HK movie industry found themselves without any new rising stars to fill that void. They scramble to build back that talents gap, but its already too late as ppl has move on to other platform and not interested with HK movie productions anymore.

Its gonna take them at least 2 generations to rebuild.

Basically the whole entertainment industry of HK became stagnant after 2000. Movies, TV series and music all was living in past glories. The rise of Korean entertainment industry affected HK badly. Then China entertainment industry popped up and today they can stand alone without needing HK anymore.

Performed badly in mainland box office run. Apparently this type of movie doesn't appeal that much to their audience.

Pity him... invested loads of money and time into this movie.

Will support him by watching this movie upon its release in TVBox, of course....

Warriors of Future has grossed a total of US$110 million worldwide combining its box office gross from Hong Kong (US$9.9 million),[18] and China (US$100.59 million).

I think it did not do too badly in China but the movie was too costly to make and needed total box office of US$150 million to break even.

I think by selling to Netflix, Louis Koo might have break even from his investment.

wow....

hopefully everyone realize why it is always China China China.... cos attention will be given to where the money is.
No wonder all the HK actors/actresses all say China is good.

Look at how much China contribute to the box office.

This movie is HK highest grossing movie at US$9.9 million but it pales in comparison to China’s box office.

Even if this movie opens in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan and is a box office hit, the total gross won’t even contribute much compared to China.

CGI is good but approach is cringe.
Casting ruined.
These actors are associated with slap stick comedies. Its like watching jim carrey in action blockbuster.

Louis Koo, Lau Chin Wan & Nick Cheung associated with slap stick comedies?

Just watched on my android box... damn fast release.

Anyway, it was an ok movie. But still, that few old timers should just stop making HK movies.... boring already la seeing that same old face years after years doh.gif

Unfortunately, the youngsters are unknown. So, the investors won’t want to take risks on unknowns. It’s not like the 80’s or 90’s when HK movie industry is big enough to try our new people.

It’s also an investment from Loius Koo himself. He is basically doing his best to keep HK movie industry afloat. It’s his pet project as he has always been fan of sci-fi.
