China offers hope for an ungodly Hollywood flop

Gods of Egypt, one of the latest box-office flops in North America, appears to be seeking a rebound in China, according to some industry watchers.

The $140 million fantasy epic, revolving around a brutal family feud among Egyptian deities, will open in Chinese mainland theaters on Friday, around two weeks after its release in Australia and the United States.

The heavy-on-special-effects movie will be released here in three forms: Imax3-D, Dmax and 4-D.
