It looks like we won't be having a repeat of last year's situation with Deadpool as 20th Century Fox has been able to successfully secure a China release date for their next R-rated superhero offering, Logan.
The James Mangold-directed film, which stars Academy Award-nominee Hugh Jackman in his final performance as the fan-favorite Wolverine, has been slated to release on March 17 in China, which is around two weeks after its domestic debut on March 3.
Additionally, Legendary Entertainment's upcoming monster movie Kong: Skull Island - which stars Golden Globe-winner Tom Hiddleston (Thor: Ragnarok), Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Avengers: Infinity War), & Academy Award-winner Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) in the lead roles - has also been approved for release in China and will open on March 24, which is two weeks after its North American release.
Both films will face stiff competition from Walt Disney Pictures' live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, which opens March 17, but should still benefit heavily from the added boost of the Chinese box office. Read more: |
