It's going bonkers everywhere outside of China tbh which is so weird because it has very high critical and audience reviews. The culture war between China and the west is really messing with Hollywood perfromances.

Actually Mairo and Nintindo in China is like Mickey Mouse in US,it’s a well-known character that everybody know what it is but no much loyalty fans,just known as a culture symbol,you made a Mickey Mouse movie and get released won’t make $600m in US but Mickey Mouse is more influential than any 600m blockbuster in US.

"This year the censorship of films in China was more easy because a new mayor of China film association called 毛羽 said that the market should earn about ¥60 billion in 2023 so that foreign films will enter into China more easily."

 

Market was open with lesser censoring of Content. Not sure from where you are getting that Hollywood Film are decaying because of Censorship. 

 

None of 2023 Imported Titles have good Douban. Except D&D &Suzume - everything was below 7.0. Asking $150M for a poor reception film will look foolish. This isn't US where Critics are neglected. Both Audience &Critics Score must be good for a Successful Run in China.

 

Since Post Oct 2022, I have more hopes on China after they ease censorship. If things go well they can go back to No.1 Again.

 

Well, it's too bad that you all just follow Hollywood Numbers because they can cross $1B and other language films has lesser or let's be real, not possible at all. Things haven't ended and I think M.I.7 gonna be promising if not affected by poor reception.

Just to clarify I wasn't suggesting performance of Hollywood films was suffering due to censorship, just that decline of China's relevance to Hollywood at least should have the upside of studios no longer having to walk on eggshells. I do agree it's a shame, but it makes sense tracker interest wouldn't be the same if the explosive results for fanboy properties and other Hollywood titles are no longer there.

Mario's numbers in Europe and LatAm are a stunner.
