What if a big movie comes out and the Chinese gov doesn’t like the tone? Then AMC theaters in the US refuse to screen it? If it’s already the second largest chain in the US, that means a huge portion of the population wouldn’t have access to it. I think this is a totally realistic scenario.

If Flowers of War and The New Karate Kid are harbingers of future China-US film cooperation, there’s going to be a lot more nauseatingly pro-China propaganda on the silver screen. I guess it’s reassuring that the US still has a vibrant indie movie scene.
