Rogue One No Match for Force Awakens’ Debut in China
Despite opening at the top of the box office in China this week, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story's debut was comparatively far lower than Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Disney's new Star Wars film earned $9.7 million during its Friday opening in China, and a total of $10.4 million when factoring in Thursday night screenings, according to data from Ent Group, Variety reports.
This is significantly weaker than Star Wars: The Force Awakens' impressive debut in China last year, as the J.J. Abrams-directed film earned $27.8 million during its Saturday debut in January 2016. It's worth noting, however, that this was before the Chinese box office took a dive in May of last year.

Marvel Teases Evil Captain America Comic Event
Marvel's next major event comic may be focused on Captain America and Hydra double agent Steve Rogers. That's the impression Marvel gave when they released this teaser image today:
The image was accompanied by the Abraham Lincoln quote "A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand." This is a clear reference to the fallout of Civil War II, which only very recently wrapped up and which has left a great deal of bad blood lingering among Marvel's heroes. The Marvel U. is a fractured and divided place currently, and those tensions look to play directly into Secret Empire.
First Trailer for New Netflix Series Frontier
Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming new series Frontier, starring Aquaman actor Jason Momoa.
Though brief, the trailer does give a decent first look at Frontier's dark tone and plot, and the series' main antagonists, the British Empire. There's also plenty of barbaric violence and close-quarter hatchet fights, particularly from Momoa's character, Declan Harp.
Frontier is set in Canada in the 1700s, and revolves around warring factions struggling to control wealth and power in the North American fur trade. The story is told from multiple perspectives and will explore the tense relationships between Native tribes and Europeans during this time period, which usually devolve into bloody conflicts.
