While the Chinese box office is not as coveted as it used to be for movies made in the United States…
…it is still a valuable region that sometimes can help turn a moderately success movie into an outright blockbuster.

Pacific Rim (2013) is a great example. It only grossed $92.3 Million domestically in the United States, but because it grossed a massive $111.9 million in China, it helped push the film to a $411 Million Worlwide Total Gross (which was enough to greenlight a sequel.)

Last year’s Zootopia 2 is a great example of what the Chinese market could do. The Eastern country made the animated sequel the highest-grossing imported film in Chinese history, grossing $610 Million solely in that country.

So, it is great news that China, a country that is very restrictive regarding which movies can play there, has accepted the “Masters of the Universe” Movie, which will release there on June 6th. Here is the poster:

This news can only help this movie’s final box office tally… and the future prospect of a “Masters of the Universe 2“.
We’ll see you next time.


I can see this being a hit there!
It’s good news for sure! Whatever happens, but some more fans can see it, some more money to make the budget back!
