Would there ever be #1 film in the international market from China?

I am wondering if you think there will ever be a day when a film from China takes the box office crown in the international market. Would Hollywood continue to dominate infinitely?

 

For clarity, this film should make more money outside of China and top the yearly international chart.

not a chance, no other country has come close. Hollywood has the big budget and use of technology behind their films and  the most recognized faces. English is spoken in many more places now than any other language or many foreigners are used to subtitles or dubs.  It would need to do large numbers in America and you have to drag your average American to a subtitled/dubbed film.

What if China produce an English film?

It would probably need to be some form of co production with a director with US cred like Ang Lee or Zhang Yimou

Yup, I think so too. But that will perhaps still count as Hollywood? I doubt China can penetrate US without working with the big studios in Hollywood, even if they control AMC.

Who will that director? James Wan?
