The film co-stars Donnie Yen and Kris Wu, two of greater China’s biggest celebrities.

Vin Diesel’s xXx: Return of Xander Cage from Paramount and Revolution Studios roared into China over the weekend with a muscular $61 million opening. The impressive Chinese haul easily eclipsed the movie’s total performance in North America so far, where it has earned $42 million since its debut on Jan. 20. It’s also the biggest Hollywood bow in China – the world’s second-biggest box-office territory – this year, nearly doubling Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ‘s $31 million launch.

Revolution will soon release the Vin Diesel franchise film ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’.

Under its new ownership, the finance-acquisition-distribution company will continue operations under CEO Vince Totino and COO Scott Hemming, the latter of which will now also serves as the company’s president. Founded in 2000, Revolution has produced films that include Black Hawk Down , Maid in Manhattan , Hellboy and xXx , and will soon release the Vin Diesel franchise film xXx: Return of Xander Cage .
