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.”
Foreign movies have long struggled to gain release dates in mainland China due to strict quotas on the number of international films allowed to show and many are blocked due to content Chinese regulators deem unseemly.
