Monster shark movie Meg 2 is beating Barbie and Tom Cruise in China

BEIJING – Meg 2: The Trench, a movie about giant killer sharks, is dominating box-office sales in China, thanks to a helping hand from the Chinese government.

The tally for Meg 2 in China already exceeds what Barbie and Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise’s new Mission Impossible earned in that country since they opened in mid-July. Once a great growth engine for Hollywood, the Chinese film market has become tough to crack for US firms. Meg 2, like its 2018 predecessor The Meg, is deemed a local production because it has a significant Chinese partner.
