Equally important is the box office appeal of Dwayne Johnson, who has become just as big of a star in China as he is over here, with films like Furious 7 and Rampage similarly doing great business for him over there.

After all, the film specifically takes place in the Chinese metropolis of Hong Kong and features a cast that is largely comprised of Chinese actors to help round out its supporting ensemble.
