‘Mulan’ (March 27)
March 27 sees the release of “Mulan,” the latest in Disney’s ongoing efforts to remake all of their animated classics as live action blockbusters. The movie is purportedly undergoing major reshoots, and its lead actor Liu YiFei, has caused controversy by siding with the Chinese government against pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong, leading to calls for a boycott. This will likely make very little difference – “Mulan” looks set to be the most financially successful movie of the year thanks to a massive potential Chinese audience.
