Hubungan dingin Jepun-China tidak menjejas kutipan box office 'Doraemon'

Filem animasi ‘Stand by Me Doraemon’ kuasai carta China dengan kutipan sebanyak $14.3 juta (RM52.8 juta) pada minggu lepas.

Dalam kutipan box office secara kesuluruhan yang berkurangan, 'Doraemon' sahaja yang mendapat keuntungan melebihi $5 juta (RM18.46 juta).

Selepas empat hari, filem Doraemon berkenaan ditayangkan sebanyak 49,137 kali dengan 2.5 jumlah penonton.

Menurut majalah The Hollywood Reporter, selain kutipan yang memberangsangkan, ia juga simbolik kerana ini merupakan tayangan filem Jepun pertama di China dalam tempoh tiga tahun.

Sejak 2012, hubungan China dan Jepun semakin dingin oleh kerana isu kepulauan di Laut China Timur. Kali terakhir filem Jepun ditayangkan di China adalah pada tahun yang sama menerusi filem 'Ultraman'.

The Hollywood Reporter turut melaporkan, ‘Avengers: Ace of Ultron ‘ menduduki tangga kedua dengan kutipan $3.85 juta (RM14.22 juta) dan Tomorrowland dengan kutipan $2.84 juta (RM10.49 juta).

Filem Bollywood ‘PK’ turut tidak terkecuali dalam senarai box office China dengan kutipan $1.4 juta (RM4.8 juta) minggu lepas.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
