TFA made $124m total in China, TLJ could drop 72% to make around $35m total.

TLJ was beaten by a local romcom there. Looks like China just doesn't care about Star Wars.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is struggling its opening weekend in China, only grossing 62M ($9.5 million) on opening day, including midnight screenings.

According to China Box Office, a Twitter account run by Chinese film industry analyst Jonathan Papish, The Last Jedi could fail to reach even $40 million its opening weekend. On opening day, The Force Awakens earned 212 million ($32.7 million) and it went on to earn $52 million, while Rogue One grossed 72 million ($11 million) and eventually grossed $30 million.

From Thursday midnight showings, The Last Jedi earned just 3.4M ($520,000), while The Force Awakens grossed 15.9 million ($2.5 million) and Rogue One earned 3.7 million ($570,000).

According to Papish, Last Jedi is expected to place second in China, after local rom-com Ex-File 3: Return of the Exes, which in its eight days has earned 838 million ($129 million). Next weekend, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will get its Chinese release.

Probably shouldn't have made a movie about a black man kissing an Asian woman.

True, but the Chinese box office has exploded in recent years so it disappointing there has to be a letdown for Disney.
