Open Book with Anthony Scaramucci

How Hollywood Sold Out to China — Chris Fenton

October 6, 2026·29 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Hollywood thought China represented the biggest growth opportunity in the world, but somewhere along the way, we started changing our movies, compromising our values, and teaching them how to compete with us. Chris Fenton was in the room when those deals were being made, and today he’s sounding the alarm about what America got wrong and what we need to do before it’s too late. Chris Fenton served as president of DMG Entertainment Motion Picture Group and GM of DMG North America, internationally orchestrating the creative and business activities of DMG- a multi-billion-dollar global media company headquartered in Beijing. He has produced or supervised twenty-one films, grossing $2 billion at the worldwide box office.
