Big-budget director Renny Harlin, known for films such as "Die Hard 2" and "Cliffhanger," has left Hollywood behind to work in China, the world's fastest-growing movie market. In this video, he talks to the WSJ's Daniel Epstein about his experience. This weekend, when many U.S. moviegoers are packing auditoriums for Walt Disney Co.’s “Black Panther,” a few dozen theaters will open features with titles like “Monster Hunt 2” and “The Monkey King 3.”Those sequels are two in a quartet of major Chinese features opening in the U.S. this week for Lunar New Year, the holiday season starting Feb. 16 that marks China’s prime movie-going season and an increasingly popular window for Chinese producers to test their movies’ appeal overseas.
