That was back when Disney were still trying to suck China's cock. They knew a Tibetan character wouldn't fly in the PRC. These days, Hollywood is slowly realising they can go tell China to take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut and still make Bank. Tilda wouldn't have been cast as the Ancient One if they were making the first Doctor Strange movie today.

They could have always told China that. It's not like China was gonna sanction Hollywood. The reason they didn't is because of the money they make in the Chinese market.

I bet they go back to pandering to China soon. The movies they make so they can give China the middle finger aren't even making bank domestically. How long do you think they'll keep up with this strategy until they finally say "uhh fuck this woke shit. We'll take a few crying Twitter critics so we can make real bank again"?

Top Gun: Maverick made a Billion and still counting. No Way Home made almost double that. Both without any Chinese release.

Fuck China:)

Two movies that didn't have any woke shit to alienate a large portion of the domestic market. One of the biggest reasons they aren't marketing their movies to China anymore is because of certain elements China just says "fuck you, get outta here with that shit".

I don't think China would have a problem with those two movies being shown to their market so not releasing those in China would just be leaving money on the table.

EDIT:

Checking why those two movies didn't get a China release, I can understand the Spider-Man decision since the Statue of Liberty was a huge part of the 3rd act of that movie so they couldn't just edit that out. That did cost them anywhere from $170-$340 million but because of Spider-Man's popularity, the surprise of the other Spider-Men (and no woke shit), they knew they were gonna make bank.

That's an outlier because I don't see any other MCU movie, going forward, coming close to that kind of bank without China (not even the next Avengers movies).

China blocked them. You’re mixed up.

China blocks any movie that doesn't adhere to the Chinese censorship standards. A lot of the time, they can just make a Chinese version that passes the Chinese censors and they get a Chinese release.

Lately, Hollywood have been "taking a stand" against China probably because Top Gun and Spider-Man (outliers) did so well without the Chinese market. But after Shang-Chi, Eternals and most recently, Thor 4 didn't do well at the box office, I doubt this "we're making a stand against China" is gonna last too much longer.

Im addressing your second paragraph.

You wrote China wouldn’t mind releasing them when it was China that blocked them.

Also you mentioned a bunch of Disney movies. Top Gun isn’t a Disney movie and Spiderman is a partnership movie with Sony.

Disney will always bend to China. Other production houses won’t always feel the need to.

I think a few movie houses will say F China here and there, but more will keep making moves that can be sold anywhere, China included.

Yea China wouldn't mind releasing them if they pass the censorship standards. China isn't going to ban Hollywood moneymakers unless they feel they have to.

Every production house likes money. Not just Disney. China is one of the biggest markets in the world. Probably only second to the U.S. They'll do the "F China" virtue signal, sparingly, not as a standard.
