The Walt Disney Co’s latest Marvel film, Deadpool & Wolverine, has taken the world by storm since its release on July 22, but it has yet to replicate that box-office success among Chinese moviegoers.
According to Chinese movie-ticketing platform Maoyan, the superhero sequel, starring Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds and Australian actor Hugh Jackman, made a respectable US$57mil (RM249.6mil) in its first 20 days in China. But China-produced comedy-drama Successor made six times as much during the same period.
