So, a second weapon's test and filming this in California instead of North Carolina, thus not getting production wrecked by a hurricane, helps a lot. So, Brandon doesn't get shot and the movie goes off without a hitch. The plot's the same as OTL, but what about that box office?

With that, not only is Brandon Lee alive, he's basically got an iconic role and a little more star power in Hollywood beyond his famous father.
