Whether you like it or not, China is going to be playing a massive role in deciding what kinds of movies Hollywood makes in the years ahead. Already the one of the largest markets for film on the planet, the nation of 1.3 billion people is looking to surpass the United States within just a few years when it comes to the number of people paying to see movies. It’s the market that every studio has been tracking and trying to appease. Being a hit in China can make all the difference in the world, especially if your movie underperforms elsewhere.
Unfortunately for American movie studios, China has strict policies about the number of foreign films that it lets play in its cinemas every year, and even stricter rules about the kind of content it allows to be presented on screen. That means certain movies cannot be played at all, ever. It also means that even massive blockbusters like Star Wars: The Force Awakens have to fight for a Chinese release.
