Journey to the West: Demons Strike Back relied heavily on CGI — over 1,800 VFX shots. The studio, Filmko Entertainment, nearly went bankrupt due to box office revenue shortfalls, partly because of rampant piracy in Asia during the release window. Every illegal download deprives the rights holders (including Tsui Hark and Stephen Chow) of residuals that fund future films.
And so, the Bluray-X-7, now a symbol of their epic quest, was hidden away once more, its location known only to a select few, waiting for the day when the world would need its power again.
