Robert Cain Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Salman Khan's Bollywood hit Bajrangi Bhaijaan will release in China on March 2nd, 2 years and 8 months after its worldwide debut. Are there any other films that had such a long gap between their original opening and their China premiere? Any others that had gaps of more than 1 year?

In fact, there are many films that are released in China a year after their original release date. As for more than 2years, that I am not that sure. For Example, Natalie Portman's Jackie just opened today (19th January 2018) in China! Edited January 19, 2018 by TigerPaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Cain Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Thanks, you're right, I completely forgot that Jackie debuted over a year ago. I'm wondering if any movies have had delays of over 1 year but still did well at China's box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manny1234 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I do not known of either, and I feel if a movie is delayed longer piracy might be a risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiangsen Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The longest gap I can recall was for Rush. It was released in China on12/11/15 more than 2 years after NA on 9/27/13. It didn’t do so well at the box office though, about ¥20M. 1 hour ago, Robert Cain said: Salman Khan's Bollywood hit Bajrangi Bhaijaan will release in China on March 2nd, 2 years and 8 months after its worldwide debut.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Not counting re-releases, along with Rush, I can remember Vinci: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425622/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf Opened on Sep 7, 2004 in Poland, Jan 11 in China Robert De Niro's Heist: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3276924/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf Opened on Nov 13, 2015 in NA, Dec 08, 2017 in China gap more two years. Last year the Film Burea asked local studios to not submit imported films with gaps [between their original opening and their China debuts] of more than two years. So nowadays it is very hard to get those films with gaps of more than two years released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
