Chinese film fans shun Rookies stunt

Around two years ago, actress Milla Jovovich saw her popularity reach new heights in China thanks to Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.

As the sixth and final installment of the zombie game-adapted franchise, Resident Evil, which started in 2002, The Final Chapter earned nearly 1.2 billion yuan ($174.4 million) - the highest of all its films in China and far surpassing its box-office takings for North America.

Yet her most recent return to the world's second-largest film market has turned out to be something of a disappointment.
