China's box office irritates me. For instance, Monster House...have you read about this **** schmaltz? {nm} lhayes37 Dec 20, 18:58

If that's actually the reason, then I am TOTALLY fine with it being released later. Records be dam-ned. {nm} Awards Fund Dec 20, 19:15

Furious 7 OS opening was $250m, Jurassic World was $220m w/out China. $279m (likely to go up with actuals) is very strong. {nm} MattW Dec 20, 19:13

The biggest box office week in China is around Chinese New Year, which is Feb 8th. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 19:18

Is this even a record that is held in high esteem? Surely the final tally is more important. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 20, 19:20

Avatar wasn't released in China until Jan either, and that didn't prevent it from becoming the biggest film ever there at the time {nm} xiayun Dec 20, 19:54
