This what it tells me:

Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($165m), Avatar ($209m), Jurassic World ($228m), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($240m), Transformers: Age of Extinction ($320m), and Furious 7 ($390m).

Chinese people like cars, dinosaurs, and robots, but aren't enamored with space exploration and sword fighting.

It's not a cultural phenomenon over there like it is in the West so they see it as some regular ass blockbuster.

I'm from the Caribbean and I don't treat SW any different any other blockbuster being released.



That's the face of someone in China when they heard TFA was being released soon.
