Word-of-mouth in Asia about Tracing Shadow was pretty brutal (the twitterverse being especially cruel in that regard) but outside of Asia the response has been more positive.

I don't think she played her role as broadly as Sandra Ng would have played a similar role back in the day.<br /><br />Is Francis more popular outside of HK? That's interesting.

Guess that Huayi Bros. thought the film might make more money with overseas fanpeople than with hometown viewers, which might be true, considering how popular Francis Ng is outside of Asia. Plus HB probably made back its investment in presales already, which were pretty widespread throughout the Asian territories.
