    “Since its establishment, Tencent Pictures has prioritized exploring international markets, and Bumblebee is a key step for Tencent's overseas business. With a total box office of 4.3 billion USD worldwide, the Transformers film series is among the world's most popular and influential intellectual properties. The Autobot movie features Bumblebee, one of the most popular characters from the franchise, who has excited the hardcore fan base around the world.”

    Nice to know we're bona fide hardcore fans now.

    I have my doubts. These guys also financed Wonder Woman, another spinoff (which did well despite its predecessors not lookin' so hot; putting this in parentheses so as not to jinx anything). Plus, how could you add anything for the Chinese? Sector 7 doesn't have a Chinese branch, and the whole of the story takes place in California (rest in peace); I'm sure the Cybertron scenes will be enough.

    Most likely. Right now in China the government is expelling many Foreigners. Many chinese are unable to take transit due to the social credit system in effect and any reflection of anti government action in movies such as BB with a girl going up against the government will be modified slightly

    When you consider what else Tencent is attached to (which is, like, everything...) you have to wonder. They've got their fingers in just about every pocket out there.
