When the Star Wars franchise and China was brought up, Yen had this to say when it was pointed out that all the new Star Wars movies keep crashing and burning in his homeland.
Donnie Yen also has another theory as to why Star Wars and other American films don’t do as well in China and it has to do with studying.
Star Wars, Chinese audiences didn’t grow up with Star Wars culture so unfortunately it didn’t work.
While Star Wars is one of the biggest franchises in the world, China has largely ignored it.
