Note: When considering the numbers, keep in mind that Man of Tai Chi is a specific genre film that is targeted to a specific audience as noted by Tom Quinn who has said (here):
“With our VOD gross we’re on target to match the same bottom line return in our first window (pre-DVD launch) as The Raid: Redemption, which grossed $4.1 million in a traditional theatrical window,” said Quinn. “Another parallel comp would be Ong-Bak, which grossed $4.5 million at the box office. Both are foreign-language action films and considered solid successes in the genre.”
