was there a reason this was shot in china?


for the big market draw there? was the first movie a huge hit over there?

Whatever it was, this one set a new record for Lionsgate in China.

The oldest magic shop in the world is in China. They used that in the movie, so it makes sense

You mean besides that them being in Macau is a big part of the plot? And the ancient Chinese magic shop and it's proprietors being a big part of the Eye of Horus storyline?

Be sure to proof your posts to see if you any words out

The first did well, this did very well for Lionsgate. So much so they are making a Chinese spin off in addition to another sequel.

Sequels often add new characters or exotic new locations so why not make that location the 2nd biggest movie market?
