Part 2/10:
Disney’s Jungle Cruise, starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, was expected to perform well in China given the film's high production value and star power. However, it grossed only about $3.3 million in its opening in China — a disastrous result considering the film cost over $200 million to produce. While audience scores in China were reportedly decent, limited marketing efforts, rampant piracy, and a growing preference for domestically produced movies likely contributed to the poor showing.
