They were never interested in this franchise.

I think this one performed worse than all the previous star wars movies. But star wars movies were never big in China. You see they started with prequels.

Each one is worse than the last. What little interest there was is diminishing over there.

That's why they pulled this of from theaters.🤔

Even for commies in China American movies with heavy left-wing messages is just too much to bear.

Local Chinese movies are dominating the Chinese box office in recent years. I think they still watch American movies but I guess the demand is much less than before.

The fast and furious and transformer series are still doing pretty well in China. There is lack of local Chinese "big explosion every 30 seconds" style action movies. I think Chinese still watch that sort of American movies.

sci fi doesn't tend to do well in China... As a space movie, StarWars is probably perceived as such... nothing new...
