THE GREAT WALL to Lose $75 Million at Box Office

The Great Wall is projected to lose around $75 million at the box office according to THR. The Chinese film, which stars Matt Damon, was the largest film collaboration between the Hollywood and China markets, but now that relationship looks to be in doubt following the tremendous losses the film is expected to see. 

The film drew around $171 million with Chinese audiences, which is considered a disappointment from their expectations and a measly $34.8 million in North America. While there is no solid explanation for the film's loss, many have speculated that casting Matt Damon to star in a foreign film created a film with no significant draw in either market. Damon isn't as big as some other choices in China, and American audiences aren't too keen on foreign films to begin with.  To sum it up, they tried to make a film for everyone, but ended up making a film for no one.

The film has also received less than favorable reviews and is in theaters alongside films that have received high ratings, like Get Out and John Wick: Chapter 2 and La La Land, so it's not going to fare any better with Americans as the weeks continue. If you want to see it in theaters you better act fast.
