I was not sure just now and did not want to assume, as we have been discussing more about JTTW2 and also about a particular fraud guy recently. :/ my memory of those are more fresh! xXx's genre and pace is exactly to China's liking + Donnie Yen's role here is legitimately 2nd biggest... much bigger than Rogue One. China is eating it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaroids Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 This is the official Chinese poster and the poster used in billboards and ads: I LOVE Donnie Yen and he's a huge name but I don't think Vin's influence should be understated. Vin's pretty popular in China too. Not to mention the other stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think it will surpass it b/c without the tribute to Paul Walker the major box office markets including China will at least have a drop from the previous one.
