If you ever look at a AAA blockbuster and think, "Who are they making this schlock for?"
>Over the last weekend, China accounted for $135 million of the movie's $162 million in revenue
The answer is usually "a Chinese audience".
- totalZero 5y agoThat revenue number refers to a very limited group of foreign countries. "Universal’s high-octane action pic F9 has started its engines at the box office with a huge $162.4 million from a handful eight foreign markets, including $135.6 million from China alone. The latest installment in the Fast & Furious installment also debuted in South Korea, Russia, Hong Kong, Russia and the Middle East, all markets where moviegoing has rebounded from the COVID-19 crisis. F9‘s ticket sales were as strong as pre-pandemic times, and marked Universal’s best start in China behind the last Fast film. It is also the biggest showing in the pandemic-era for a Hollywood title." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/box-office-f9-fast-furious-f9-huge-start-1234957461/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/box-offi...
