Remember earlier this year when Matt Damon was the lead in a big $150 million Chinese blockbuster about The Great Wall of China? No? Really? Jimmy Kimmel even joked about it at the Oscars. Well you missed out on Matt Damon fighting evil green demon dogs alongside a bright and colourful Chinese army. It isn't even as bad as you think it is. Matt Damon doesn't completely save the Chinese by himself. Jing Tian helps him! Or more accurately, they help each other. Xin Ren and all that. Well spoilers! The humans win! Anyways, this movie was a massive hit in China and made basically nothing in North America which is not entirely surprising. I'm pretty sure they don't go ga-ga for our mythological films (checks box office gross of that King Arthur movie, yup, they did not go for that) so it's quite logical that a film heavily rooted in Chinese legend would make very little impact in North America.
