"The Wandering Earth" has successfully reached the second place in the Chinese film box office list, and now everyone is speculating whether it can surpass "Wolf Warrior 2" and reach the top of the box office list. Whether he can or not, Wu Jingjing is already a strange person in the history of Chinese cinema, referred to as "Captain Jingqi". "The Wandering Earth" is not only popular in China, according to the data released by the film official Wei wei on the evening of the 17th: the film was released in North America for 11 days and won 3.82 million US dollars at the box office, becoming the highest box office record of Chinese films in North America in the past five years.
Although "The Wandering Earth" has achieved success in North America, it is still a bit of a gap compared with the highest-grossing Chinese films in North America in the past. Today, let's talk about the 10 highest-grossing Chinese films in North America, let's take a look!
10, "A Good Man" box office: 12.7 million (unit: US dollars, data source Time Network, the same below)

As a director, Hong Jinbao made a cameo appearance as a passerby who did not want to be nosy and was inexplicably beaten. It should also be mentioned in particular that the carriage that Chen Sicheng played in "Detective Chinatown 2" was actually played by Jackie Chan long ago, and it was even more thrilling than him.
9. "The Iron Horse of Young Huang Feihong" box office: 14.69 million
Produced by Xu Ke, directed by Yuan Heping, and co-starring Zhen Zidan and Yu Rongguang, when it was released in Hong Kong in 1993, because it was not in time, it caught up with the Hong Kong film Martial Arts Year, and it failed miserably at the box office. Fortunately, it was later favored by Quentin, and under his needle-cutting line, the film was released in North America in 2001, and eventually earned 14.69 million at the box office. The title of the film is obviously the heat of Rubbing Huang Feihong, telling the story of Huang Qiying and the Iron Monkey, and it was a girl who played Huang Feihong, do you see it?

7. "Police Story 3: Super Cop" box office: 16.3 million
Compared with the first two parts in Hong Kong, arresting a Zhu Tao, the third part has been upgraded, and the mainland female police work together to jointly arrest criminals, Yang Ziqiong's joining is no longer like Maggie Cheung before, desperately not losing jackie Chan's big brother, and finally riding a motorcycle to chase the thrill of the train. Looking at the "Police Story" series, my personal favorite is this one, and it is said that Quentin also likes it.
6. "Kung Fu" box office: 17.1 million
Zhou Xingchi's masterpiece, the main line is still the counterattack of small people, the story, special effects, and actions have reached the peak at that time, even if it is released now, it is also a billion box office start!

This film is a standard co-production, a typical Hollywood commercial film, and the previous Jackie Chan action movies are a little different, partial fantasy, and Jackie Chan also "died" once in the film, and it was quite interesting when he was resurrected.
4. "Huo Yuanjia" box office: 24.63 million
Huo Yuanjia, when did you become the first in Jinmen? Around this sentence, at first Huo Yuanjia fought fiercely, and then suffered a change in life, understood the principle of stopping the war with force, and rose to the national righteousness, Jet Li plus Yuan Heping, two golden partners, the action is naturally no problem, perhaps the only thing that is criticized is that there is too much preaching.
3. "Red Fan District" box office: 32.4 million
Jackie Chan really opened the door to Hollywood was this film, that jump conquered foreign audiences, and since then jackie chan has been remembered. At that time, "Red Fan District" was basically a global hit, the undisputed champion in Hong Kong, and it was also known as the originator of mainland Chinese New Year films, earning 95 million yuan at the box office in the mainland.
2. "Heroes" box office: 53.71 million
The development of Chinese cinema so far, must not be able to avoid the film "Hero", a landmark work in the history of Chinese cinema, opened the mode of commercial blockbusters, directed by Zhang Yimou, Jet Li, Chen Daoming, Liang Chaowei, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi, Zhen Zidan and a group of big celebrities starring, the story is relatively simple, is to assassinate the King of Qin. Visually needless to say, Zhang Yimou uses color to the extreme, and the martial arts design is also full of freehand, which is an unmissable film as a whole.
1. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" box office: 128.07 million
"The Wandering Earth" won 3.82 million in North America, but it is not the highest-grossing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with a fraction of 8.07 million, this film is directed by Ang Lee, co-starring Zhou Runfa, Yang Ziqiong, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Zhen, Zheng Peipei, and the martial arts films we have watched before, such as "New Dragon Gate Inn", "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", "Huang Feihong", etc., lack of jianghu heroic spirit, more is a kind of humanistic thinking, comparatively speaking, more in line with the aesthetics of Westerners. Of course, Ang Lee's credit is also indispensable, so that foreigners once again appreciate the charm of Chinese martial arts films, the first time martial arts movies have become famous overseas is Hu Jinquan's "Heroine", and the bamboo forest battle in this film obviously pays tribute to Hu Jinquan.
"The Wandering Earth" is currently good in foreign countries, I don't know if it can finally squeeze into the above list, in other words, the above 10 movies, how many have you seen ah?
