Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened in China last week. It’s doing okay. But okay doesn’t feel good enough for a movie that’s blasted apart every other box office record it could find. Disney is trumpeting it as the biggest box office opening weekend in China’s history, but this is only technically true. Unlike The Force Awakens, most movies don’t open on Saturday in China, giving it a one-day advantage over more popular blockbusters.

What’s up, China? Is America’s biggest box office movie of all time not good enough for you?

China vs. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

There’s really only one solution if Disney is going to convince China to embrace the endless Star Wars hegemony like the rest of us. Time to recruit Vin Diesel for Star Wars: Episode 8.

According to Forbes, The Force Awakens is sinking fast in China. “Reviews and word-of-mouth are closer to Spectre than to Furious 7.”

Generally, the Chinese box office is topped by a combination of American imports and Chinese movies, with this year seeing China’s biggest box office hit yet, Monster Hunt. The most popular American series in China are Transformers and Fast & Furious, with each series’ latest entries easily topping movies like Jurassic World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and now Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Furious 7 in particular was a juggernaut, making $390 million and becoming the biggest Chinese movie release until Monster Hunt brushed by it for the #1 spot. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is projected to make significantly less than half the amount, with a $150 million return putting in somewhere above Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and below Monkey King: Hero is Back.

The Movie That Will Likely Beat ‘Force Awakens’ In China

Sure, Disney doesn’t need big money in China to recoup their Star Wars investment, but the movie’s lackluster reception will prove a big problem for the series in the coming decades, as China’s box office begins to dwarf ours.

Star Wars: The Furious 8?

So will Vin Diesel play a Sith hot-rodder in Star Wars: Episode 8? It may sound unlikely, but the Star Wars series is currently owned by the same company that put a whole new character in Iron Man 3, just for Chinese theaters. While something as drastic as Fast and Furious: Revenge of the Snoke is unlikely, at the very least we can expect some future casting news for Star Wars: Episode 8 or Star Wars: Episode 9 to include some bankable Chinese stars.
