The Wandering Earth was not well received overseas, and Netflix users were unaware that the film was available

The Chinese science fiction blockbuster "The Wandering Earth" has been released since the first day of the Lunar New Year on February 5, and has been released for a total of 90 days. The total domestic box office is 4.655 billion yuan, ranking second in China's film history, second only to "Wolf Warrior 2" (5.685 billion yuan).

As early as April 30, "The Wandering Earth" has landed on major domestic video platforms, including Netflix, the world's largest streaming platform. Netflix has previously announced that "The Wandering Earth" will be translated into 28 languages ​​and broadcast in 190 countries around the world, but the official release date of the film has not yet been determined. Domestic movie fans can also enjoy the Chinese dubbing + English subtitles.

However, according to a recent report by foreign media indiewire, The Wandering Earth has received a cold reception on Netflix. The reason is that most people don’t know that it has been launched on Netflix. Foreign media said that although The Wandering Earth has exploded at the box office, with a global box office of over $700 million, making it the third highest-grossing movie in the world in 2019, there was almost no marketing for The Wandering Earth when it was launched on Netflix.

Although Netflix Asia released an official trailer on April 29, the trailer was not even uploaded to Netflix's US YouTube page, and the film was never mentioned in Netflix's press releases.

In this case, it’s somewhat awkward that hardly any US Netflix users are aware that the highest-grossing non-English film of all time is now available to watch.
