A ton of good Hollywood movies coming to China this month*! Mark your calendars and buy your tickets now!
As we all know, each year China allows just 34 non-Chinese films into its booming movie market on a revenue-sharing basis, and the latest slate of coming releases, including SpongeBob in December, shows that quota is now reached for 2015. So yeah, no Star Wars until next year.
*schedule is always subject to change
