China looks set to become one of the key battle zones in the trade war Trump has started, with Beijing politicians vowing to “fight to the end” against the levies and introducing its own counter-tariffs of 34%. Last weekend, A Minecraft Movie from Warner Bros. and Legendary opened in China in first place, with ticket sales of $14.5M, which makes up just over 10% of the film’s $144M international box office takings.
