It will be fun to see how the new animated film tears through box office records in the coming weeks. There seems to be something about the Pixar stories, and the way audiences perceive them, that leaves Chinese audiences cold. Pixar’s current record-holder in China is last year’s sequel Finding Dory, which collected $38 million in its run there. And China has embraced Coco like no other Pixar movie before it. Average moviegoer ratings for the picture at review site Douban are at 9.4, and 9.6 at Maoyan, the third-best this year behind Dangal (9.8) and Wolf Warrior 2 (9.7).
