Tiny Times 4 cut all Ko Chen-Tung's scenes & The Monk cut all Jaycee Chan's scenes.

 

Monster Hunt which plan for CNY release was moved to July bc re-shooting.

Jing Boran replace Ko Chen-Tung.

 

Absence of male lead actor, TT4, it wills affect its box office.

Why? Are they just shutting it down?

Seems so weird to just take a movie down when it's still making this much (and would be making much more if screens weren't cut down drastically).

Really feels like its run was stunted. Guess that's just the way it is in China. Still made a nice sum but could've made more.

I was asking, I wasn't implying that it was. But we all know the Chinese market is unlike any other in the world. They'll drop a movie overnight without having a second though.

Yeah, I do get that, I just don't get why they would do that with a movie that's still making so much money.

Most of the profit stays in China, after all.

Bunch of new local films are opening, that's probably the reason.

[Tower]

China always schedules films with a closing date a month after it opens, it's just the way it is (although very rarely they get extended).
