Washington Post columnist Sonny Bunch wrote an article that celebrated the new 'Top Gun' movie for not bowing to China in order to gain access to the Chinese market.
The Wall Street Journal's Erich Schwartzel shares how China exerts its influence on Hollywood, and why it is so difficult for actors, writers, and producers to make content critical of the Chinese government.The Washington Post published an op-ed Tuesday making the case that thedemonstrates that Hollywood does not need China to be financially successful.
"The $300 million worldwide opening puts the picture roughly three-quarters of the way to profitability in just four days in theaters. That’s a big number by any measure these days; importantly, for our purposes here, the Paramount Pictures- and Skydance Media-produced picture hit that mark without making a single penny in China."
"Having lost Chinese funding and being uncertain of receiving a Chinese release, someone somewhere decided the juice was no longer worth the squeeze and undid the vandalism to Mav’s jacket," he wrote."In addition to simply making aesthetic sense, the move also earned the picture some goodwill with American audiences who have grown tired of having their blockbusters defaced by Chinese censors.
Bunch also notes that Marvel's"Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness", which was not released in China,"We’re starting to see what a post-China future looks like for Hollywood: not that different, but a little more independent," Bunch wrote.
