    'The Great Wall' debuts in China
  • "The Great Wall" is a $150 million historical fantasy that has been co-produced by American and Chinese companies.

    Chinese box office

  • The Chinese box office has grown by leaps and bounds: it grew sixty-fold from 2003 to 2015, when its revenue hit $7 billion. By 2019, it's expected to be the biggest in the world and it is a huge market for Hollywood movies.

    Filming 'The Great Wall'
  • 'The Great Wall', which combines concepts and casts from America and China, is reportedly the most expensive movie ever to be shot exclusively in China.

    Making of the movie however ran into several hurdles: filming in polluted Beijing to stark differences in on-set safety requirements in China as compared to the US and lobbying with China's state censors was part of the initial struggle.
