Making nearly half that number back on opening weekend is a great start. The Hollywood Reporter points out that the film's budget was $150 million, making the film a pretty high stakes gamble if it didn't pay off. The director, Zhang Yimou, is from China and the entire plot is based there. While Hollywood had a strong part in The Great Wall's production the movie is just as much, if no more, a Chinese movie as it is a Hollywood movie. The fourth best opening weekend of the year is fairly impressive for a film that was an unknown quantity before it was released.
