Ah, didn't see that it got pulled from China.  That does indeed lop off a good chunk of its earnings potential.  Guess a month was all the 3rd biggest movie ever in that country could expect.

That market is so weird.

Wolf Warrior 2 and The Wandering Earth were bigger movies in China, and also cut short. I guess it's just their policy to make way for the new, foreign or not.

As a side comment, either way, I'll note how the Chinese market is massive nowadays and ever increasing. With their GDP growth + Renminbi appreciation + inflation, it's likely the average Chinese blockbuster by 2030 should gross US$1.2 - 1.5 billion in China alone.

I'm guessing a lot of movie theaters in China don't have a lot of screens that is why you don't see movies having very long runs there once a movie is no longer that profitable they rather replace it with something new.
