Hero

Hero was first released in China on 24 October 2002. At that time, it was the most expensive project[3] and one of highest-grossing motion pictures in China.[4] Miramax Films bought the American market distribution rights, but delayed the release of the film for nearly two years. Quentin Tarantino eventually convinced Miramax to open the film in American theaters on 27 August 2004.[5][6] The film received positive reviews from critics. It became the first Chinese-language movie to place No. 1 at the American box office, where it stayed for two consecutive weeks, and went on to earn $53.7 million in the United States and $177 million worldwide.[1]
