Star Wars movies have typically underperformed in China, for largely unknown reasons, and they even tried to minimize Solo being a Star Wars movie, by changing the title from Solo: A Star Wars Story to Ranger Solo.
This opening weekend marks the latest in a downward spiral for Star Wars movies in China, since Disney acquired the franchise.
Monster Hunt 2 rounds out the Chinese trifecta in ninth place worldwide with $361.7 million, with $706,000 from North America.
As of now, there are three Chinese films in the worldwide top 10, despite those films earning less than $5 million in North America combined.
