Weiying Galaxy discovered that despite their intentions, The H Collective only had control of 50% of the derivative rights to the xXx series, and any transfer of their piece of the pie had to be approved by Vin Diesel himself. This particular deal started in 2017, the same year that xXx: The Return of Xander Cage energized the franchise for a new generation, and delivered original production company Revolution Pictures its highest grossing film ever. But it wasn’t until earlier this year, and two years after Weiying Galaxy had made a payment of over $6 million into their joint venture with The H Collective, that approval was given by Diesel’s representatives for the company to be involved.
