CATDOLL: The box office of "Journey to the West: Hero is Back" in the United States has not been found in one week, and cultural differences are difficult to overcome

The Chinese animated film "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" created a brilliant domestic animation last summer. After that, it was confirmed that the film would be released in the United States, which made fans look forward to its performance in the United States. On July 29, "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" finally landed in the United States. It has been released for 10 days so far, but the box office results of the film cannot be found on the statistics website. It seems that the box office of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" in the United States is not satisfactory. In addition, it is difficult to see discussions about the film on various box office statistics websites. Overall, it did not achieve the expected results.

It has been more than a week since The Monkey King: Hero is Back was released in North America, but the box office figures for The Monkey King: Hero is Back in the United States are still not available on the famous American box office statistics website Boxofficemojo. Boxofficemojo currently only shows the box office figures for The Monkey King: Hero is Back in China, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates. The person in charge of the overseas distribution of The Monkey King: Hero is Back revealed that even he does not know how much The Monkey King: Hero is Back has earned in the United States.

In order to expand the American market, the American version of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" specially invited Jackie Chan to voice the "Monkey King". Although Jackie Chan is currently the most internationally renowned Chinese actor, he did not bring much luck to the overseas distribution of the film. However, on May 29 this year, "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" was first broadcast on American TV stations. Perhaps television media is the main force of the film's American distribution.

In recent years, the mainland film market has developed rapidly and attracted worldwide attention. However, whether it is due to cultural differences or other reasons, the performance of Chinese-language films in the US market has not improved significantly. At present, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" to break the curse that Chinese-language films are not popular in the United States. Anime Star will continue to pay attention to the box office performance of "The Return of the Great Sage" in the United States.
