China has ended cinema screening of Avengers: Endgame

People can get pretty petty about having their media that they consume as an extension of themselves to be validated. Take the quote below:
You do you, but really?
and trade wars arent based on something else or the answers to this
The countries that will take China's place often even worse conditions for those children. This isn't a way for the US to improve human rights. It would be a nice argument otherwise, but this will just shift production to other, cheaper countries.
It was already dying out, it had no chance of surpassing WW2. At the rate it was dropping it would have only grossed a bit more it if had stayed in theaters longer. This isn't really a big deal. Infinity War got a 30-day extension and only managed to gross 10M more.
Would have been literally impossible for Endgame to even get to #2.
The Wandering Earth was such a shit movie. Not 100% related to the topic, but man was it bad. Don't get how it's the second highest grossing movie ever in China. I guess it's because the first (?) big sci-fi spectacle the country has produced, but... so bad.
I didn't know this until yesterday but apparently it's a straight to Netflix Canada movie and it's been floating around the internet since Thursday. Poor booksmart never stood a chance.
False. Some people don't have time to go to the cinema. So we wait for home streaming.
It's premature for either side to be celebrating at this point. It's going to be reeeeeeaaaaaally close.
Endgame can make like 8-10M$ more with extension in China. It's a small amount but very crucial to claim the top.
Wandering Earth at #2. That's on Netflix, I've been watching it in bits this weekend. Totally bonkers stuff! The Sun is something something so they come up with the solution to build thousands of engines on one side of the planet, and build underground cities for about half the worlds population, then they send the Earth off to a nearby star. It gets really nuts around Jupiter. There are plentiful effects and they're for the most part up to Western blockbuster levels.

Its the third top most overall revenue movie in China in just one month, please don't embarrass yourself
That metric has nothing to do with the decision. Stop embarrassing yourself. What matters is how much money it was making in relation to the screens it had Vs what the replacement is predicted to make.
Dropping considerably week to week though.
It really didn't have much left in the tank.
China box office - Good for stat padding, but as long as overseas movie studios only take home 25% of the box office cut, it's importance is overrated.
Out of that huge total, EndGame 'only' ended making about $150 mill for Disney in that run in China.
Still, it does not cost them any marketing money to release in the country, so it's better than nothing of course.

It's drops were incredibly heavy week to week, it would have struggled to probably do as much as the IW extension did which was pretty pathetic itself.
There you have it. Proof that PhoncipleBone has an inside line to Xi. He wants to make sure he wins his bet.
"Whatever it takes," right? ;)

What the hell, I started watching it thinking it was gonna be a silly little kids movie, but then a monster cut their belly open and shoved an egg inside a dude, a Beetle dug inside a guy head and popped out the other side, then in a Looney Tunes style comedy, but in live action, two people started getting stabbed by scissors.
Genuinely surprised, will keep watching.
