\n Sony\u2019s critically acclaimed Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse<\/em> opened to $17.2 million in China over the weekend \u2014 a respectable start but a fraction of its barnstorming $120.5 million opening in North America.<\/p>\n

\n As in the U.S., the film has been very well received by Chinese critics and filmgoers alike. It currently scores 9.4 on ticketing app<\/a>s Maoyan and Tao Piao Piao, and 8.8 on fan site Douban \u2014\u00a0which is significantly better than any other Hollywood film currently on release in the country. But Maoyan only projects it to earn about $35 million in total in the country, a major step down from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em>\u2018s $62.8 million haul in 2019.<\/p>\n

\n Analysts have been wrestling with the question of how much of the Hollywood studio\u2019s recent theatrical earnings shortfalls in China should be blamed on weak product versus changes to market demand. But the slipping performance between the two Spiderverse<\/em> films \u2014 both undeniably strong movies<\/a> \u2014\u00a0seems to suggest that the Chinese audience\u2019s appetite for U.S. content has indeed waned.<\/p>\n

\n In North America, the sequel opened to $120.5 million, compared to $35.6 million for the first film in 2018.<\/p>\n

\n In second place, Universal Pictures\u2019 Fast X<\/em> earned $7.6 million. After three weekends, the film has brought in $124.1 million, the most of any non-Chinese title this year.<\/p>\n

\n Japan\u2019s Studio Ghibli scored third place with a re-release of its 1986 anime<\/a> classic Castle in the Sky<\/em>. The film earned $6 million from Friday to Sunday and has totaled $10.7 million since its launch on June 1.<\/p>\n

\n Fellow anime staple, Doraemon: Nobita\u2019s Sky Utopia<\/em>, was just a step behind with $4.2 million for the weekend and $10.9 million as of its June 1 opening.<\/p>\n

\n Paramount\u2019s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts<\/em> will launch in China on Friday, followed by Warner Bros.\u2019 The Flash <\/em>on June 16.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
