Are you sure? China's quota system makes it pretty hard for Hollywood films to make it in China [0]. Only a few of the absolute biggest films will have a chance

  Seems like it tightened up some a year or two ago. Before that more hollywood stuff was coming out in china more regularly it seemed.

    It's been this way for a decade, earlier it was even more strict: https://www.ghjadvisors.com/blog/history-of-china-import-film-quota-and-revenue-sharing-remittance https://www.ghjadvisors.com/blog/history-of-china-import-fil...

  It's not that films actually get into Chinese theaters. They all try. Some of them get to run in Chinese theaters, and those that do tend to make bank. However, those are chosen by theater owners to fill a limited number of spots, so theater owners want to make sure that it is a hit before buying. Additionally, the Chinese censors will cut off all movies from a studio if that studio produces anything that goes against the party. Disney was blocked between 1996 and 1998 for producing a movie about Tibet. A movie that was never intended for the Chinese market at all, but one that went against the party narrative. So, studios have decided not to risk it.
