The Minions did better in China last year than Wakanda Forever and The Batman. Top Gun, Thor, and Dr. Strange didn't get released in China.
The Star Wars films have all done pretty poorly in China. In fact, I think any film that relies on pre-2000 nostalgia does poorly in China. Also, anything that's too jingoistically American.

Top Gun, for obvious reasons, wasn't allowed to play I China. They'll also ban movies with too much supernatural content, for example Ghostbusters.
Some studios would also edit movies for the Chinese censors. IMO a pretty despicable practice.
