Due to a rise of nationalism in China alongside increasingly contentious U.S.-China relations, Death on the Nile is the only Hollywood film with a confirmed release date in China. Several films have been denied a release date in China without a public reason why. Death on the Nile, however, follows on the heels of Murder on the Orient Express. This train-based murder-mystery film, also adapted from an Agatha Christie novel, did remarkably well in the country. While it cannot be proven, it is likely that the success of one Agatha Christie film inspired the approval of this highly anticipated product.
