It's rumored the hit Taiwan TV show turned movie Someday or One Day will be released on Christmas Eve in China. The TV show is very popular, especially among younger audience. On Douban, it was reviewed by 751 thousands users, with a score of 9.2. It will be interesting to see how it can compete against Avatar 2.

Is Wandering Earth 2 still scheduled to release during the Chinese New Year holiday period or will it move?

 

WE1 was the first Chinese movie I saw (and I liked it) (not counting any of the Hong Kong movies from Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Donnie Yen, etc)

So how about Puss in Boots 2? Any expectations on that, how is it doing on pre-sales?

Total presale on Taopiaopiao is like ¥3841 or ~$550(dollars).

Want to see is a truly hilarious 5746 on Taopiaopiao and 8964 on Maoyan.

Safe to say no one wants to see it, but hey, might be well received and surprise us.

Why would they choose it to release it now ? Considering covid situation is getting worse.

Why wouldn't they? There is no better release date than this. Valentines Day could be an alternative but who knows how much worse situation can get by February. All films slated a release so far haven't moved because of covid.

I doubt it can compete against other native Valentines related movies by the time comes. There is no competition on this release date at least.

It is rumored that "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" will get China release very soon.

China cinemas need to release more commercial films right now, especially under the COVID situation; otherwise many cinemas will be out of business.  So it is hardly a surprise if China decide to lift the Marvel ban right now.

China doesn't like BP, doubt it would do any big business even if it gets a release date.

that would be a big deal. That kind of kills any rumors of MCU movies being perma banned in china. It will benefit future movies if they release day and date.

It may not be a rumor.  It may just be that China change their policy;  afterall, China just have 180 degree turn on the COVID policy.

[GOGODanca]

theatres will go out of business if china doesn't get the covid situation under control regardless of what they release

It would be better than let some major local films to be destroyed at the box office.

 

Right now, it is a very bad time to release films in China (because of COVID),   China wants cinemas to survive, but they also want major local films to do very well at box office;  therefore, importing more overseas films is the only way to go.
