The Critically Reviled Matt Damon Bomb that He Called a “Turkey” Is Leaving Netflix

The film landscape has evolved drastically since the 2010s, when Hollywood was blatantly baiting Chinese audiences with crossover films designed to capitalize on the Middle Kingdom's burgeoning theatrical marketplace. This was when films such as Transformers: Age of Extinction and Pacific Rim staged large set pieces in Hong Kong, and movies such as xXx: Return of Xander Cage featured Chinese stars. This was also when Legendary Pictures successfully lured Chinese icon Zhang Yimou to direct his first major Hollywood movie, The Great Wall. The film emerged as a box office disappointment, leaving star Matt Damon and his daughter particularly underwhelmed. But audiences that haven't yet checked it out have only until October 2 to do so, as it's leaving Netflix U.K.
