American filmmakers 
attempt to entice Chinese  moviegoers  by including
popular 
Chinese locations,  actors,  and 
products in their movies.

higher profits for their film’s release in China. Despite being produced entirely by U.S. companies, the final cut of 
X-Men: Days of Future Past
released worldwide

Gravity
appealed  to  Chinese

Earth in a Chinese space
capsule.

gross $71 million in China, 10 percent of its worldwide total gross and 16 percent of its total foreign gross.
