Comedy-drama Successor has grossed over $581 million to become 2024's third most-watched movie in China.
In Successor, Ma Li and Shen Teng play a wealthy couple who design a life of poverty in an attempt to toughen up their son.
The film has since grossed more than 3.176 billion yuan as of Aug 22 to become the third most-watched movie of 2024 in China, with Deadpool & Wolverine languishing at No. 15.In an Aug 19 article titled “Beijing and Hollywood are decoupling as Chinese audiences favour domestic productions”, American news channel CNBC said Hollywood blockbusters have lost their lustre in recent years in China, the largest movie market outside the US.
Professor Emilie Yueh, dean of the Faculty of Arts at Hong Kong’s Lingnan University, said Successor matches that description, with the film touching on issues of child-raising, education and upward mobility.
