And that movie bombed spectacularly. Sure Hollywood wants Chinese money, but right now America is the country that spends the most on the movie industry. That's who they will continue to cater to. Now in 15-20 years will that be different? I don't know, but it does seem right now and in the foreseeable future it will continue to be America.
It worked out well for them in Looper. Granted I'll give these guys the benefit of the doubt, since really they made two films: one more targetted at Americans, and the other more towards Chinese where the backstory on Old Joe is greatly expanded on and he becomes more the main character in the process.

China isn't the second audience that Hollywood is concerned with right now. The UK is. Yeah China and India have a metric shitton of people, but they don't have the middle class wealth or the number of quality theaters to cater to them.
Speaking of sequels/remakes/whatever, I wouldn't mind seeing a modern take on Back to the Future. Not a sequel, not a continuation, and not a remake. Set it in 2015, with the main character (hell change the teen lead to a chic so I get some eye candy) and she goes back to 1985. Lots of people are nostalgic about the 80's, so why not? There are plenty of good writers out in Hollywood who can churn out the right script. Get a decent cast, the right script, the right director and boom. Good movie.
