Why isn't Dumb and Dumber 2 being shown in Thailand?

Featured Replies

I am a Jim Carrey fan, and I was looking forward to this movie. Though it seems it won't be shown in Thailand, since it was released 2 weeks ago, and no mention of it "coming soon" in any theatre here. any ideas why?

They don't understand what it's about.

Hard to understand the humor when they can all relate to the characters lol. It would prolly be viewed as a drama in thailand

Guess that wont stop the film appearing on the stalls very soon for 50thb or so

There are no plans to release this film in Thailand.

It has been released in Malaysia 27 November.

Why?

Hard to know, but likely business reasons, not the cheapest film to release and the soy bean counters might reckon there isn't that big of a market for it here.

They tend to release the sure thing blockbusters and also C grade direct to video movies that cost almost nothing to release and can fool enough people here to think it's worth the ticket price.

A lot of people here would think the movie is making fun of them personally. Or a family member.

Or maybe it's for the best, otherwise they'd think "this is the way all falang are."

It would be a rerun of what they see/hear at home on a regular basis.

Disagree with your first point but agree with the second: Thais are far smarter than dumb falang.

I think they will show it sooner or later , Thais like crazy humor so a bit surprised this movie has not been announced. I know The Hangover movies was very popular among Thais.

No. There are no plans to release in Thailand at all not this year or next. Only a small percentage of films released in the U.S. or Europe are ever released in Thailand and many that are released in Thailand were never released in the west because they are so crappy. That's the way it is.

Can't imagine - other than for true fans of an actor why anyome would want to watch something so painful.....

15-20 years ago there was a youthful excuse for a movie like this (actor age wise) now it appears as a pathetic "pay day" sequel.....nothing more....

It's hard to elaborate on/re-celebrate the original stupidity.....maybe they'll incorporate in the Cheech and Chong film festival when it gets here.....

It's not exactly "The Mask".....

To Hi brow...............though personally i think the film was crap

So dumb it's smart, right? To you, at least? Thais, would they respond to this? Course not.

No silly whistle and symbol clash so it wouldnt mean anything and they wouldnt know when to laugh.

Probably the powers that be can see themselves reflected in the intelligence of the 2 main actors, and think the movie is about them.

Who cares ? The original was bad enough.

Just hang around farang bars for awhile - they'll show up....

Who needs to see the movie when there is this forum. Nuff posters show their true colours without even being aware how sad they must come across to many others.

The reason maybe is that it may be seen as a documentary rather than a movie.

Pirates Bays. Are lovely around this time of year, Lots of golden bullocks.

It would be an insult to thais.
