– Hollywood movies no longer dominating China’s box office
– Reasons for loss of interest in American films by Chinese audiences:
– Shift due to COVID-19 pandemic and U.S.-China tensions
– No American films in top 10 highest-grossing movies in 2021
– Domestic films in China successfully competing against Hollywood blockbusters
– Only “F9” from Fast & Furious franchise performed reasonably well
– Efforts by Hollywood studios like Warner Bros. not as successful
– Promotional push for “Aquaman” sequel in China not received well
– Decline in appeal of Hollywood movies in China due to preference for domestic films and external factors like pandemic and geopolitical tensions
