"From Vegas To Macau II" Chinese Theatrical Poster
Since its release during the Lunar New Year holiday in China, Chow Yun Fat’s From Vegas to Macau 2 (aka The Man From Macau 2) has earned over RMB900 million at the box office, well exceeding its predecessor’s RMB600 million. So it should come as no surprise that there will be a third film in the franchise.
It has just been officially announced that From Vegas to Macau 3 will be filmed this year with a budget of RMB200 million, and some parts may be filmed in Vegas. The film will join a crowded line-up at the cinemas during the Lunar New Year period in 2016, which already includes:
– Stephen Chow’s Mermaid, his latest film since Journey to the West 3D
– Jet Li and Huang Xiao Ming’s 3D Investiture of the Gods, an adaptation of the classic Chinese fantasy novel that features gods, demons, spirits and humans
– Aaron Kwok and Gong Li’s Monkey King: White Bone Fiend, the sequel to Donnie Yen’s Monkey King, only without Yen who is busy with other projects.
Which one of these Chinese blockbusters are you most looking forward to seeing?
