The long-awaited sequel to director James Cameron’s blockbuster “Avatar” will be released in mainland Chinese cinemas
on Dec. 16, 20th Century Studios said on Wednesday. “Avatar: The Way of Water” will be released in China on the same day as its global release, the studio said on its official Weibo account. It becomes one of the few foreign films to get access to the Chinese market in recent months, with others including the latest film in the “Minions” franchise and Sony Pictures’ “Where the Crawdads Sing.
Increased scrutiny of Hollywood films has occurred in conjunction with a rise in China’s film studios making their own versions of the high-octane blockbusters US studios are known for. Chinese-made hits include the “Wolf Warrior” franchise and last year’s breakout success, “The Battle at Changjin Lake.” have proven popular with Chinese audiences keen to see more Chinese-centric stories on the big screen.
