Wouldn’t it be great if this happens to the NBA as well?
Are China’s own films really more popular? Are Chinese sick of the same plastic, repetitive, post-modern crap from Hollywood?
Remember too that the CCP controls literally everything in China. The slightest pressure, done with no public fanfare, could easily reduce allowed foreign media of all kinds, to a trickle.
The truth is hard to know.
I’m sure one of the reasons is they don’t use Chinese actors.... They use white actors like Matt Damon in china and figure that will work......
China did to Hollywood what it has done to every industry. Stolen their trade practices and nationalized them.
Hollywood deserved it above anybody else.
Nike still bows to Xi.
Hollywood and particularly Disney are getting it hard like a chicom COVID-19 test these past few months. Let them burn. I wouldn’t waste good piss to put them out.
You are correct. The chicoms have denied key releases by Hollywood and Disney for the chicom market. They are denying them access and it’s hitting them hard now since many Americans simply won’t watch them.
In all fairness, how many movies have been made in the last 18months? Everything got shut down and it takes a long time to fully bake one.

Beautifully stated.
The fatal shot was when Hollywood decided that the bad guy would prevail against the good guy. Starting in the 60s (why did everything destructive begin then?), the antihero/hero rode off into the sunset with the beautiful girl, squashing the hero/pathetic loser underneath his wheels.
Funny how China is now riding off into the sunset with the by beautiful girl and squashing Hollywood underneath it’s wheels.
Maybe they’ll do a movie about it. 🍿
China certainly seems to believe in diversity.
Not.
China was expecting new rivals to Casablanca, Citizen Kane, the Godfather and the Wizard of Oz.
They got today’s Hollywood flops instead.
They say Chinese used to go crazy for Fast and Furious sequels but the latest fell off 85% the second week. Go figure.
Pete Buttigieg: "Ooooh. Sounds marvelous. It'll be a date night movie for my husband and me."
I do too. They’ve get rich off of us and step on our heads.
I wish we had just listened to Joe McCarthy when he sounded the alarm about these commie reds in hollywood.
Now China doesn’t need American filmmakers anymore; they can produce their own films for their own people using movie technology (such as 3D computer animation) they stolen or were given to them by Hollywood.

I believe that, too. Hollywood learned a hard lesson — at least, I hope they learned from it. Maybe they will strive more to appeal to American audiences and stop filming in China.
That is a great article! They reaped what they sowed and now comes the collaspe! This is the best thing that could have ever happened. Sick of the Superhero/CGI/midless computer scripted PC crap
New movies are unwatchable except JoJo Rabbit, made a few years ago by a foreign writer. Wonderful satire on Hitler.
Other than that, no thanks. I have a big collection of DVD’s, watched The Aviator last night, made in 2004. Based on the life of Howard Hughes.
