That was huge, there's so much money that can be made by Chinese movies nowadays.

The cinematography looks beautiful and like a movie I would love to watch based on the story line they lay out here, I just don't have the patience to watch movies through subs -- it's so annoying. Hopefully it'll get dubbed in English.

This why the chinese and the asians shouldn't complain about lack of representation in US films.

I've never seen a Chinese movie

400M???

It's really BAD for Chow's standard and I'm a Chow fan.

It's fascinating seeing how much the Chinese box office has grown over the last 10 years.

What a ****ing dumb comment to make.

Amazing how they grossed over that amount there.

Yeah.

How does knowing that my people have money to spend in China help the minimal amount of press and media attention/representation they get where I live?

What's this about y'all
