American blockbusters have found enormous success in China, yet the big winner at the Chinese box office right now is not a "Hunger Games" sequel or the fifth "Tranformers," but instead a homegrown cinematic effort starring Adrien Brody, John Cusack, and Jackie Chan.
"Dragon Blade" opened in China in mid-February during their New Year to an astounding $54.8 million. Even though it is no longer number one at the Chinese box office (that honor now belongs to another Chinese film, "The Man from Macau II"), the historical epic shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
The film contributed to a huge month that saw box office revenues in China exceed those in the U.S. for the first time ever.
The film was produced on an estimated$65 million budget. Currently, "Dragon Blade" has grossed $101.6 million at the Chinese box office to date.
The film isn't out in the US yet. According to Variety, it will eventually be released state side, though no specific release date is available.
