Chinese movie Successor surpasses Deadpool & Wolverine
The Straits Times
|August 23, 2024
The Walt Disney Co's latest Marvel film, Deadpool & Wolverine, has taken the world by storm since its release on July 22, but it has yet to replicate that box-office success among Chinese moviegoers.

 According to Chinese movie ticketing platform Maoyan, the superhero sequel, starring Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds and Australian actor Hugh Jackman, made a respectable US$57 million (S$74 million) in its first 20 days in China.
But China-produced comedy-drama Successor made six times as much during the same period.
Released in China on July 16, Successor directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo - stars Chinese actor Shen Teng and actress Ma Li as a wealthy couple who design a life of poverty to toughen their son up.
The film has since grossed more than 3.176 billion yuan (S$581 million) as of Aug 22 to become the third most-watched movie of 2024 in China, with Deadpool & Wolverine languishing at No. 15.
