If the movie has been doing well in China don't see why it won't do well in the US as well.

If I recall correctly, doesn't China specifically limit the amount of foreign films that can be screened in the country to only about 20 a year, largely to protect its own domestic film industry? I guess I'm wondering about the broader context of how many 2D animated films have actually screened there in the first place, to put the headline into perspective I guess.

China seems to like anime a lot more than American's (average) audiences do.

Because American people cannot really appreciate art, is what I think.

This is a good point. (According to this article, they'll being increasing the quota to 34 films per year in 2017.)

It baffles me to think that Funi are taking so long to release this in theaters.

They will probably release it soon after Oscar nominations. I think they are waiting (and hoping) for a nomination before putting it in theaters.

Asians have different standard than U.S. U.S. likes super hero movies, not romance anime.
