LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Walt Disney Co said its live-action remake of “Mulan” pulled in $23.2 million over the weekend at box offices in China, the most important theatrical market for the big-budget epic.
The debut for “Mulan” fell short of director Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet,” which grossed $29.8 million in China a week earlier. Unlike “Tenet,” “Mulan” was based on a Chinese folk story and tailored to draw big audiences in the country.
