Correction, IMDB is wrong. The movie hasn‘t opened in China yet: “… Internationally, Blade Runner met overseas expectations, debuting with an estimated $50.2 million from 63 markets, 61% of its international footprint, capturing the #1 spot in 45 of those markets. The film's opening in the UK led the way with an estimated $8 million, on par with Interstellar and ~15% ahead of Mad Max: Fury Road. In Australia the film brought in an estimated $3.6 million, topping both Interstellar (9%) and Gravity (28%) and in Russia it finished with an estimated $4.9 million, on par with Mad Max: Fury Road. Additional openings include France ($3.6M), Germany ($3.3M), Spain ($2.6M), Italy ($2.5M), Brazil ($1.8M) and Mexico ($1.6M). Blade Runner will open in South Korea next week followed by an October 27 opening in Japan and a November 10 opening in China." |
October is a month that many Chinese film companies use to distribute their own movies. It would have been suicide for Blade Runner to open there in October.
