Taiwanese-American singer Leehom Wang released his directorial debut film, Love In Disguise, last week on August 13th. Well, the debut has passed, and it looks like Love In Disguise has stolen the top box office spot in Taiwan!
With its opening day garnering 2.56 million TWD ($80,250), Love In Disguise edged out its competitor, Close To You, which opened on the same day in Taiwan with ticket sales totaling to 2.46 million TWD ($77,116). As you can see from the figures, the reception of the film in Taiwan was somewhat lackluster.
Despite complaints that the overall plot was highly predictable, however, it is estimated that Wang has grossed approximately 100 million TWD ($3.13 million) from the film in mainland China. Speculators are even predicting that the film will break the record for the highest-grossing movie by a first-time director, which is currently held by Li Weiran’s Welcome To Shama Town with about $6.8 million. In response to the film’s current success, Leehom commented that, ““(I) hope everyone will continue their support, this is a relaxing and entertaining movie, people from ages 9 to 99 can all enjoy.”
As I have not yet seen the film, I cannot fully comment on it. I have heard, however, mixed reviews. Most of what I hear is that the cast performs beautifully and the overall production of the film was very nicely done. Where some people find that the film falls short, though, is the plot, which is anything but an atypical romantic comedy. Either way, I’m probably going to be ordering this DVD when it hits!
