Both Hollywood and China's film industry have been searching for the secret formula for global hits. Before they find it, 'made for China' - with Chinese money and US talent - seems to be a tantalizing option.

I was sitting in a Wanda Imax theater on the afternoon of June 8 when the opening logos for Warcraft rolled. It started with the so-called dragon logo, China's government seal for any movie - domestic or imported - for public theatrical screening.

Then came the one for the Chinese distributor, followed by Universal Pictures, which is the US distributor.
